    Troy Prendergast.

    Couldn't agree more with this. Not just a very good and rapidly improving player but a joy to sit down and play with.

    Excellent pool player as well, there is definitely something in the ability to play good pool/snooker and be good at poker.

    Troy should do well, great guy, but my money is on Ste Chambers. Unless he chokes again at the final hurdle.

    gotta go with jude ainsworth (nicky put up his hendon mob thingy) in addition to that serious online record incl 3rd in sunday million


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,696 ✭✭✭Hectorjelly


    I think this type of thread is a bit silly, for one thing most good play, if done really well is almost impossible to spot*; this is even assuming the viewer is capable of distinguishing it. And assuming they are of a decent standard and solid enough, it is going to take thousands of hands to find out their leaks. Solid players leaks are much harder to spot than

    (Any player who routinely shows big folds or bluffs cant really be that good, because their decision making is going to be exploitable)

    Mostly its going to be a case of who variance has rewarded recently


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 658 ✭✭✭Hawk Eye


    Agreed, nearly all the names mentioned in this thread save the levels are only perceived as good cause they luckboxed their way to a few donkament scores. The standard in nearly all Irish tournaments is god awful so if you play enough a half decent player is going to show some sort of consistency along the line.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,547 ✭✭✭mormank


    agree with hawk eye. the next big thing anyway is probably some 11 year old who is already crushing 10-20 plo online...

    +1

    They are like the guys who scoff fantasy football leagues because "Ronaldo would never be able to fit into that system without an overlapping fullback. It's frankly unrealistic to speculate whether Lampard and Scholes can play together cause it will never happen. Pointless exercise really"


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,709 ✭✭✭YULETIRED


    THis is really silly nicnicnic and Kayroo
    Personality trait variance can be effected by the 'exclusion factor', they may or may not be spoilsports but you can't base your assumptions with just the data in this thread, you need a much longer period of monitoring to obtain valid and credible information. I would say they are just going through a short spoiling phase as a result of EF. I think Hawk Eye and Hector Jelly are destined to be poker greats if they are not already.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,924 ✭✭✭Fatboydim


    In the sense that any poll is silly - yes. But of course the really smart player will learn from whatever facts - erroneous or not - are thrown up. I think it's been educational so far. For example it's clear that players based in Galway rate Jude [rightly so IMHO] you can then judge for yourself by the calibre of players supporting him, and his known results, [after all Hendon Mob only has certain results up] how much credence you give to this. The same would apply for players from Dublin and Cork.

    Oh yeah - and it's fun. And as Yuletired says: Personality trait variance can be effected by the 'exclusion factor'.
