BSOP Boards.ie Open 2004 - Heat 3 preview

Hyzepher

Well the lack of a heat 3 preview has propmted me to write this - it seems heat 3 hasn't warrented enough fear to deserve a mention

Altheus 10-1

An unknown quantity - which means he is a danger to the more established players. What has he got? Does he know how to play? Why is he raising all-in when I have the nuts? Who cares!!

Mickste 10-1

Another unknown quantity. And another danger. Will need to establish himself early on before his style is cracked.

Hyzepher 3-1

Well a complete has been oldtimer that has lost all confidence in his game. One early setback and he might be crying home to mammy. Well at least Kencleary is nowhere to be seen in this heat - bad beat central!!

MrPudding 2-1

My favourite for this heat. Has home advantage and a desire to win more than anyone. Needs to get back to his tighter self to ensure the unknown players cant nip away at his stack.

Spiritus 3-1

Very strong contender. Always has a hand and no afraid to bet it out - regardless of the flop. Be prepared to sacrifice a pile of chips to see him to the river.

TwoShedsJackson 5-1

From what I have seen of him, he has a chance. He needs to get a better grip on the fundamentals but if the cards fall for him he will be hard to shake.

Krusty_clown 10-1

Another unknown - the same applies to him as the other newcomers. Handle with care!!

Waylander 10-1

Yet another unknown - need to give some respect to him until his true colours shine.

Edser 10-1

The fifth and final new comer. If we can get them all around the same part of the table maybe they'll do each other damage. (note to self - rig the seating draw).

Karl H 5-1

Another strong player and capable of taking anyone out. He has a good chance of making the final.


Hyzepher

MrPudding

Thanks for the vote of confidence but I am really still trying to find my style of play. I know tight worked out for me but I really think that a lot looser is definitly the way to go for me.

Ours is a strange draw. So many unknowns. It will be like the business league except with more decent players. I am not even going to try to guess who will get through as there are so many unknowns.

But know this. I will go in with anything. I'm mad for it.

MrP

DeVore

I'd definitely have to go with Spiritus, Hyzepher, Karl and Pudding to fight it out for top 3 spots here... I hope Spiritus makes it to the final table if I do... I want to *crush* him like a bug. LIKE A BUG I TELL YOU!!!!! </Monty Burns>

DeV.

karlh

can i hedge and put €20 on Spiritus to win?

DeVore

No bet!

Though Ken may have issues handling the new/unknown players... I wouldnt be put chips in against him during that game!

DeV.

karlh

I think we will all have issues with the unknowns.

are they all 100% unknowns or friends of friends?

don't want a nasty Roundersesque confrontation in front of the little Puddings if we find out they're sharks! :ninja:

karlh

btw it ws suggested by Iago on another thread that we all put an extra €20 into the pot for the nightly heat prize.

will work out at €45 a head for the night which is what we'd normally pay for a home game anyways...

I'm up for this, anyone else?

DeVore

Altheus and Edser I dont know, the others are oldskool Boardsters mostly. I dont think anyone is sharking a 20 quid game to be honest... you'd have a better hourly expectation in Macdonalds!


DeV.

Altheus

It's great to get the insight on the players beforehand. As for me, just I suppose to even them up a little. I'm a dab hand at RacingPost Online Fun Bets. Beyond that, I'll crack, I'm here for a good time.

Edser

Some of you will probably recognise me as I am sometimes in the Fitz Wednesdays, (rarely Thursday) but haven't had a chance to hook up with any Boards.ie members yet.

Was there last night, 28th, crashed out early again!


Ed

Krusty_Clown

Only a couple of visits to the Fitz under my belt (11th and 12th), most of my play is with friends, where the standard is average to poor.. I visit Ladbrokes occasionally where I win some, lose some..

Don't figure myself for a contender, but I just watched the final of the 2002 WSOP, and 9/10 players at the final table were rookies.. Even Scratchy beats Itchy sometimes.. :cool:

Waylander

I must be the rank outsider so, my only experience is online. Have not been to the Fitz although I have been sorely tempted to go in. Only been playing online for a couple of months. Chequered form there, win some, lose some.

mickste

if you want to give me odds of 10-1 i'll bet on myself. Do you take laser?

Seriously i've been in the fitz nearly every week since about January. Mostly thursdays and sundays. Usually am trying to copy Davey devils unbeliveable run of lucky cards and flukes.

Sounds like it's going to be great fun. can't wait

You really don't want to get me angry.

mickste

yes i do

Davey Devil

Mick you do realise that the tournament is a freeze-out. You can't have your usual 5 re-buys.

mickste

i wont need them when you get knocked out by my pocket 9's against your pocket k's and i hit a straight. game over.

that is IF u get to the monthly table. A very big IF

Davey Devil

Well Mick - that's the only way you could ever knock me out, one huge piece of luck.

Hyzepher

I wouldn't mind if both of you were in the same heat - you're not. Please keep the thread on topic i.e. about Heat 3.

There is a thread specifically for bitch talk elsewhere.

Hyzepher

Corben Dallas

Eh wheres this on? is it in teh Fitz Card Club or are you guys holding this in an online Poker room?

karlh

well well well, if it isn't Corben Dallas!

DeVore

Green!!!

DeV.

MrPudding

Hyzepher

Now if his name was DJ Ruby Rhod then he would be 'Green' - alas Corben Dallas said very little. Blew up a lot but said very little.

Hyzepher

Corben Dallas
