I remember it was the other fella. Pokercracker never says much really.

In fact pokertracker is probably some granny in Columbus with a gambling problem and read's the Evening Hearld online!

If they are a big name Pro, how have thay done? I've never been around long enough to find out!

Alan is a very good NL cash player from what I've seen. Came up against him in a few tourneys aswell. I think "Hamann" is Declan Barker but I could be wrong. He is top of the Irish in Pokerstars TLBs, He won a seat in Monte Carlo recently and (if he is Declan) finished ITM. He was captain of the Irish World Cup team on PS which HEAT was on aswell. Paul_Bradley was another guy on the team who beat me on the bubble in the HU qualifier. He is a seriously strong HU player and the only player to win a match when they played against Canada #1. To be honest I think the more well know Irish pros play more on UB than Pokerstars.

Declan is not Hamman, he is Hitecdeck. Nobody seems to know who Hamman really is. It is not Padraig or Scott Gray. He did however pick Scott Gray for the stars world cup and Scott did not know who he was!

Interesting. I knew Hamann was in MC and when I saw Declan's name on the ITM list I thought it might bew him. Funny thing about Hamann is I don't actually rate him that highly. He has so many stars TLBs but when you play 4,000 tourneys a month you're bound to score highly. I came across him in a 3/6 limit game and he was awful. He is however a pretty tough oponent in a NLHE tournament. He's very aggressive and tends to either go out early or build a huge chip lead, and is the last player you want at your table with a tall stack. He's not much good with a shortstack though. I played his younger brother HU and he wasn't such a bad player. The guy lives close to me but never bothers to reply in the chat and I know he doesn't turn it off.

I gave up my seat for world cup & told Hamman to give it to Heat ( I play under the name JJlatenite)

IMO heat is best player on stars, if he played regually, he would top the leaderboard easily

If Hamman played in the American time zone suited tourneys, He would run away with leaderboard ( the 1.00 -600 am tourneys are full of American Fish, but you have to play all night, brutally tiring

I think Hammans name is michael frisby, Saw him on the paddy power tourney on the poker Channel, quite sure thats him

Interesting - I know michael quite well - he is not playing as much live poker these days, maybe thats the reason.

I would defintely agree. I was at his table in the PS sat to the Irish masters for almost the whole tournament and it was such a struggle having in on my left. I played the shortstack for a long time while he hovered up a ****load of chips. At one point with 2 tables left we were both almost out. I went out something like 13th and he made an awsome comback to win it outright. He told me he didn't end up playing the masters because he was ill. I think I'd have played on a stretcher if I could.
