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

DeBock tonight was good enough to be a star but you have to have a good with you team to get through.

I think I phrased it wrong. I meant could we the see the actual same contestants as last year, or is there a rule that they can only be on once?
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.

Since I'm in position it's fine. This deep he still can't even get in a fifth of his stack preflop with a 5-bet. so I would have raised back a lot of broadway connected hands also.

Anyone any opinions on this?

Partypoker and John Duthie are in full support that it's not an angle and think it's Pokerstars trying to sabotage their new pro by giving it air time, and suggesting that they asked their own sponsored pros to come out against it.

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

Its 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.
I agree though definitely an element of angle shooting

I 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.

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

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

I don't ever remember seeing any contestant return.

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 UC

Pokerstars 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.

It's literally 15 minutes of him going way off on a tangent on unrelated stuff that he feels the need to tell us so that he can try and get his point across that he wasn't angling, which make him sound 10 times worse. Talking about it being hand for hand, the setup, how bad it is for TV, how stuffy the room was, the fact he had to have 3 showers in a day etc. Load of BS.

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.

Perhaps 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.

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.

The 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.

My apologies. It was actually the other guy trying to angle Pads

Originally posted by pads View Post

You 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 Post

Hahaha 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..

If a guys says you "have it" and waits for the other guy to muck, he can fook off imo.

Definitely digging himself a hole though. I'm surprised he's bothering with all the responses

if that water was collected into a cube, it would be approximately be four miles square and two miles tall!

4 miles square is 2 miles long by 2 miles wide. The height is 2 miles also so it's a perfect cube?!?
