Old timers, whippersnappers.....

[tikay]

I was about to enquire of Tighty as to what category I belonged in - whippersnapper or old timer, but he stopped me short, & caused me to burst out laughing, with THIS corker.

lets say less than 25 years old, 25-40 and 40 plus and then tikay plus

BORING thread, & naff off again Tighty. The break has done you no good, your (creative) juices are not flowing like flowy things.

maybe if the whizz bang whallop scandies did come over here and play in our domestic circuit they would clean up? - would be nice to see and compare but they don't come over here very often. - Walsall, Luton and Sheffield just dont have the cosmopolitan appeal that Vienna, Monte Carlo and Helsinki have.

Maybe they don't come because they know they would get whopped......

"Hello, I'm Patrick Antonius. Ever since I was a small boy growing up in Sweden I have dreamed of travelling to such cultural meccas as Luton and Walsall. As I sit accumulating chips in the drab dowdiness of Vienna or Monte Carlo, I find my heart wanting to be elsewhere. Alas, I feel I am not yet ready to challenge the mighty titans of these places. One day, Patrick, one day..."

The point is being missed here by some, imo.

The EPT fields, & thus results, ARE dominated by Scandies, but an EPT is a big thing to them

All i have to say is go to an EPT event and just count the number of young Brits you could count them on 2 hands. Now do the same with young scandies, half the field, its of course obvious they will get results between them.

Pay attention Kendall

Interesting thread.

The average young Swede is considerably better than the average young Brit in my opinion. They are very aware of their table image, recognise what is going on at the table and above all fearless. However, a lot of these guys are backed by the more succesful players both online and in the live tournaments. So, playing better players will no doubt improve their standard of play. In my own experiences I find a lot of the younger Brits much tighter and more timid so it is very easy to outplay these guys.

There are of course obvious exceptions and I must say the older generation are much better in England and prove much tougher opponents than the younger players.

All the talk among friends before the world series was "who will be the next big thing" or "how unlikely it'll be for the known faces to win bracelets with these field sizes".

WSOP Bracelets were won in record sized fields by:

Johnny Chan
Doyle Brunson
TJ Cloutier
Phil Ivey
Erik Seidel
David Chiu
Josh Arieh
Jennifer Tilly

Seems to me experience counts for everything in America at least.

Oh yeah missed out that Greenstein fella.

tikay if you think we are so much better how about contacting one of blondes friends on the swedish or dainish or norwegien forums that love our live updates and asking them about a HU challenge between forums at a major festival next year

if its outside the uk i will even get myself a passport to come over and coach the blonde team (no point scaring our scandy friends off by telling them that 5-0 is playing)

i would love to see a 15 man blonde team take on the best of scandinavia in a HU battle

with my coaching we might even winn 11-4 (nothing i can do to sort out tikay's elblondies royal flush and jp's HU games)

Jennifer Tilley is an experienced player.........

Was that a euphemism or a whoosh ?

Looking at the list of films she's appeared in, she's certainly been involved in a lot of flops...
