Will is genuinely a nice guy. Spend a decent amount of time with him around the circuit.

I don't mind his antics as I've never see him do anything THAT bad but it does tilt me somewhat being on his table as you go from 30 hands an hour to 25.

He isn't malicious and is a great guy to have a drink or dinner with.

Also he isn't a loser at the game. He has an unorthodox style but his speech and live reads are huge for him and I've no doubt he is a solid winning player.

I'm only working on my personal experience of Kassouf, having played with him 3 or 4 times, he behaved liked an utter cock on all those occassions.

But I differ to your better knowledge and trust your judgement that he's actually a nice guy.

Just wish he showed that side of his character when sitting at the poker table.

Why does Kassouf feel the need to say anything at all?

Two guys playing a pot for about $1 million of equity. Probably the most important and nerve wracking moment of their lives.

And he has to stick his oar in totally without prompting. Behaving like an attention seeking cock.

An explanation of that hand.

Jesus, what a car crash.

Matt Moss is a palm beach / Macau regular, plays very very well and at the highest stakes around. He flew to and from Macau regularly during his university years, and unlike certain poker players (ahem) managed to graduate with I think a very good degree. Very nice guy and a credit to the UK poker scene. Good luck to him.

I've never met him and hadn't heard of him until a few days ago so obv only really heard the negative stuff but I thought he came across pretty well in that interview tbf

I don't know if I read the pokernews article incorrectly or it was reported incorrectly but I thought that Will had called the clock.

Turns out it was another player so while I maintain that giving someone a 2 minute wall of noise during decisions is obnoxious, I don't think that he deserved a penalty

One of the final 27 sold 72% at spot. That's looking a pretty nice investment right now!!!!  Highland fox got 2% which I'm hoping is Red Fox from here (gl if it is Malcolm)

Highland Fox is an American player unfortunately.

Sigh, after buying so many pieces of me, I was hoping Malcolm had finally landed some luck!

[DMorgan]

From my meetings with him Tim certainly seems to be one of the good guys, hope he gets the lot

Bleznick seems to be a genuine villian as opposed to kassouf's pantomine type.
