You chopped it! I thought you were going to lose both so as a bad beat its pretty underwhelming. Also don't like the four bet pre this deep unless you are 4 betting a balanced range

We'll always have those first 3 seasons and the Mcgregor trouncing mayweather sized chance that Martin will stop enjoying his success and finish the series properly
Actually shit is a bit harsh ,they were given a fairly impossible task
SPOILERI enjoyed episode 7 a lot more than 6.
Agree the Littlefinger plot was poor. They aren't great writers. When they don't have George's source material to work with there's a massive dip in quality. The best lines from this episode were recalls of old lines, ffs. Honestly, I could have come up with more interesting ways for all of that to pan out without taking too long or relying on teleportation, and it would have made more sense.
I'm enjoying it as a fanfic. It seems unlikely that GRRM will finish the books, so at least we will have an ending to work with whenever he dies."I can’t find anyone who agrees with what I write or think these days, so I guess I must be getting closer to the truth." - Hunter S. Thompson

He was rooting for Jon and Danaery's and then looked sadly at him going in the room for the roide? I know he said he was in love with his Queen but why the look and they showed it twice so there must be some significance
Was chatting to my friend here and we were saying maybe he promised his new niece/nephew the Iron throne after Dany dies if she is barren?
Anyway. On the books. He has no need to finish them. My pal here refusing to watch the last 2 seasons till the Winds of Winter comes out. How the hell do you not spoil it for yourself with everything on the net? the net Truly is Dark and Full of Spoilers!

DeBock tonight was good enough to be a star but you have to have a good with you team to get through.
Though thinking about it they'd probably be mostly in their final year anyway when they do UC, and thus have left college by the time of the next series.

It's 100% an angleshoot imo, no matter what way he wants to dress it up here.

Dialogue and plot are as clunky as Aidan Gillens accent. Everything is signposted pretty much now. I'm glad that character is dead though, been useless for ages.

Originally posted by brady23 View PostIts possibly an angleshoot like he says for further information that he perceives as some sort of physical tell, something he can use later but I don't think its an angleshoot to make a decison about that specific hand. I do think he has made his mind up to fold.

GF and all her teacher friends are back tomorrow nothing worse than a teacher giving out about going back to school.
She's not bad then again she's had 14 months travelling but you'd swear 2 months off travelling happens to everyone.
GF has seniors they're supposedly the best along with 5th.
I'm waiting for my timetable hoping for Fridays off
Originally posted by O.D. View PostI think it has to be angle shooting when he says "you got it" without folding or even motioning to fold. He only motions to fold after he gets the physical reaction he wanted. It's pretty low to be honest, but I think I agree with him when he says Pokerstars are intentionally making a big deal out of it in order to attack a rival company's pro player.

I see the angle shoot and I think its got fair coverage given he's a reg on tour but the Stars sabotage bit is a bit speculative imoLast edited by Guest; 29-08-17, 10:07.

I know the audition process was tightened up after various fiascoes like where Corpus Christi were thrown out because one of the team had gone off to work in the real world in the course of production or the team of pro quizzers who signed up to the open university with no other intention than to get on UCTurning millions into thousands

Seems like a reach that stars are intentionally giving it extra coverage because it's another site's pro tbh.

What's his cliffs? 15mins is wayyyy too long!
In a nutshell.... As soon as the other guy bet, he made his mind up straight away that he was going to fold. He tried to explain to us like we're idiots that having a big stack on his left makes it difficult for him for the rest of the tournament...so he tried to talk to him to see if he was weak or strong, so that he doesnt have to spend 1 minute on 10 different occasions trying to get it read, so thought he would get it out of the way now. He said he wasn't even considering calling but the whole charade was about getting a read. He also said the other guy looks at him, smiles and goes to fold his hand which is a stonewall tell that he has the nuts but that i think he might have a short memory because that didn't happen.

Originally posted by O.D. View PostPokerstars are featuring the clip on their twitch, calling it 'Pads Angle Shoot?' and Pads says a number of Pokerstars pros have come out and attacked him. Seems a bit opportunistic to me. that's all.
Regarding the hand its an obvious angle, the only ambiguity for me would be whether any info gained after he says "you got it" would have resulted in him making a call. I would have probably said no but if the opponent suddenly exposes a bluff, things change.

Originally posted by brady23 View PostPerhaps its a slight troll and they wouldn't have given the same for one of their pros. I think other tour regs not sponsored by another gambling company would receive similar treatment though. I wouldn't imagine there is a malicious agenda from Stars possibly a bit of trolling at most.

Originally posted by pads View PostYou guys really think he was going to muck when I said "you got it" he was doing his pretending to muck to get a reaction from me an make himself look weak, the typical "look weak, act weak" I was obviously already folding was just giving him a little bit of fun.Originally posted by pads View PostHahaha just watched it back and I fold like 5 seconds later after smiling at him. Commentators don't get it because they obviously don't play/know poker. I had chips in my hand and was folding and just hadn't even got to my cards yet. It's crazy. If you think this is angling seriously never play live poker you will be traumatised..

Originally posted by O.D. View PostThe guy actually motions to muck his hand thinking he's already won the pot. Imagine if he had done that before Pads' hand was dead? Wouldn't fancy being the TD for that one.

for fans of sporting sickness, check out the second WI wicket this morning
SPOILERBatsman hits the ball straight back in the air for a relatively easy catch. Bowler (Stuart Broad) drops it and immediately looks disgusted with himself. Dropped ball however gently rolls into the non-striker's stumps, to run him out. Illness!"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."
