Hectorjelly 7/4f (proven credentials in better grade, off peak in previous
rounds but coming to the fore at the right time. Obvious claims)

CoD 7/2 (Last years winner, unfavourable draw this round which is his
greatest problem but will be short odds if he gets through. Capable).


DeVore 4/1 (Some pieces of form in graded company, live games are the key
to this horses chances but unlikely to encounter this in next
round. Nevertheless sound claims on all known form)

Imposter 9/2 (Seasoned handicapper and dual purpose individual. Not the best
draw but ideally weighted to run his race. Goes well fresh and travels well)

Davey Devil 9/2 (unexposed sort but capable of going close on very best form
if allowed to dictate at the head of affairs)

rag2gar 13/2 (Another unexposed sort capable of springing a surprise or two
on the way. Will need things to go his way.Chances)

fattony99 15/2 (A revelation on previous form but this race might come too
too soon this time around. Chances on previous form)

CharlieAsh 15/2 (Creditable performance so far. Not without chances but a
quick pace is essential. Up further in class though claims on
very best form. *Tongue strap and first time visor*)


probable S.P's - Prices guide only.

Good luck CharlieAsh, hope I have the excuse I lost to the winner


p.s, I might lay hj if anyones interested...

Legend_DIT

GL to the final 8

Would love to see a live final to this tbh...

DeVore

Next round predictions... (god this is tough!).

Cod vs HJ: HJ has the edge heads up but CoD is not to be underestimated. HJ on account of HU experience.

DeV vs Fattony99: Bit of a conflict of interest in predicting this one. I know who *I'm* up for though

Imposter vs DD: This is another tough one to call. Both have good HU games and I think the cards will determine this one. Gun to head, I pick Imposter for his online experience. Tough one though...

rag2gar vs Charlieash: I dont know either of these players but seeing how he beat NTLBell in the last round, I pick Charlieash.


Now, if my predictions come true, that leaves us with the interesting battle of me versus HJ.

I feel an image link coming on....

CharlieAsh

Thanks Phantom.Good luck to everyone.

I,ve sent a pm to Rag2gar with my number and hopefully we will get our game sorted soon.

DeVore

I'm sorting out my game with Fattony. I will have to play from Vegas by the looks of things!

DeV.

jd

Any updates, lads?
If playing online post the site/time/etc details so we can hurl abuse^H^H^H^H cheer you on

CharlieAsh

rag2gar and myself at a 1-1 stalemate at the moment after an hour and a half. We will have the decider later tonight on VegasBaby. I'll edit this post with the time of the game later. Not feeling too confident as he seems to be able to read me like a book.

Davey Devil

Your pm folder is full Imposter, I can play Thursday evening. I'll be on from 7pm.

DeVore

When do we need to have this round over by? I'm going to have some problems with time zones etc but I will facilitate fattony and play at a time that suits him (11am for me, 7pm for him or something like that so it shouldnt be too bad...). I just want to avoid days when the WSOP is on if possible.

What with the WSOP and the August Bank Holiday, how about finishing this by August 16th?
jd

DeVore

I'm back on the 13th so if Fattony99 will wait until then it would obviously suit me better. I dont know which way is up or down at the moment

No problem at all, just keep the updates coming, esp on the hotties thread!

CharlieAsh

Rag2gar has just sent me packing with a 10 minute deciding game. I flopped 2 pair and slow played myself into his straight. Well played Gary.........you better win it now.:D

What is the plan for the semis.


Perhaps two live semi finals and a final somewhere, somenight??

jd

any plans for those 2 matches?
jd

DeVore

I'm back now and will make contact with Fattony immediately.

DeV.

CoD

Sorry my PMs didnt popup and say I had some, didnt realise.

Trying to arrange....

DeVore

Fattony and I will be playing on GreenJokerPoker tonight sometime after 8pm, we are arranging the match at 8 in www.antesup.com/chat if anyone is interested.

DeV.

DeVore

2-0 to me. Fun game with Fattony. Nothing went his way though and I pressured him at the right points. Then just to add insult to injury, down 1-0 and half his stack gone, I made a horrible play (in hindsight) and unmercifully lucked out to finish it. It wasnt pretty but I'll gloss right over that bit... *ahem*.

DeVore

They didnt get to play it yet, its being played very soon though.

JD, just to publically say it, you've worked your nads off on this and its much appreciated. You are a cat-herder par excellence! Well done, I hope we can have a finalé that really rounds the whole thing off.

DeV.

What did you have?

CoD

ok the 78s call was bad, but i was getting very annoyed at getting him down to 1k then him doubling thru, and if i didnt call after my raise i was left with 1.3k with the blinds getting high. (think he had 22)

cant remember the JT but i think I had double the chips.

Of course list my "strange" calls but you were very aggressive without much and bluffing, and to win the game you won you hit a 2 outer(he limped with AA, i check, and flop 2 pair, he bets i raise, ace on the turn). As well as several split pot rivers when I had higher kickers only for the board to pair.

I dont wanna seem bitchy, but I dont see why you had to make those comments like that.

ecksor

That's not a 2 outer. More like a 5 outer + "running pair" outer.
