    Bit of a habit I have developed! I have found my self playing the odd SNG while being more interested in watching other players and games.

    This only started a short while back while watching Shaffry(sp?) FT'ing a 109 rebuy(via a post here somewhere). I noticed another player and thought he was timing out etc to hang in by his bollix. I think from about 16 out he cashed in about 7th for decent money. Decided to OPR him and realised he was not some lucky sod but a decent enough winner. Sn is Aryamehr.

    Anyone else "rail" players and if so is there anyone worth watching bar the normal high stakes guys on FT and Stars?

    If you want to watch some good online action, the bestest is durrr and ivey when they go at it.

    The problem with watching those tables is the players have built up so much history with each-other that a lot of the play just seems bonkers/bad or makes no sense. 25/50 on Full tilt makes for some very interesting viewing.

    they are not very good but they are the only full tilt pros who ive ever talked to. I hit and ran ali nejad at 8/16 horse so sometimes i like to open up his table and say ALI U SUCK and close it again.

    Id have a look at the HSdb and see whos playing the nosebleeds if i were u.

    I rail sometimes on FT but find that someone can be waiting for a game for hours. Like last week i opened up a 300/600NL HU table to find Phil Galfond (OMGClayAiken) sitting in. I looking forward to watching him play as i enjoyed reading his articles but 3 hours later no one had challanged him. It must be so fustrating for these type players to get action online. Im sure he was playing a couple of 6max games while waiting but it must be very annoying.

    Yeah he was at the other 3/6 HU table for the same period of time. Get a new screen name imo at least they will be unknown for a short period of time

    Buddy list all the marks and watch the sharks come running as they sit at the high stakes. There have been a decent few 100/200 + 200/400 games running on PS lately because of one certain individual. Although ADZ decided to mock the guy in chat not realising the guy was still logged on at another table so might not be as willing in future!
