What I like most about Tina's game is how she is always controlling the size of the pot, especially on the turn. A lot of people would raise in that spot with top pair but she realizes that the only hands that are re-popping her are beating her, and only losing hands are folding, so she smooth calls. Veeeeeeeeeeery nice.
Ahhh. the list. I knew it would be amusing. Tina #1. nice.
1 Tina 14 votes 2 Bob C. 11 votes 3 Pam 10 votes 3 Switzky 10 votes 5 Jim "The Rock" A. 9 votes 5 David "Mayor" Meyer 9 votes 5 Ross "swordsman" 9 votes - This whole thing was his idea!!! 5 Tricia 9 votes
Just re-enforces the notion that the free roll is a different planet from the one I live on. I still remember the first time Tina criticized my play at a cash game. I thought to myself, when did she decide to consider herself a poker player? :)
PS- I probably have more BP free roll wins then most on this list.
A side note: I didnt know who Ross "swordsman" was until that night that Srub, Soup, Tok, and I came into the free roll with 100k. He commented on how sad it was that us cash game players felt we needed that much advantage over the free rollers, Which I replied, no one can say anything about it if they ever accepted a free chip for any drink in that tournament. Cause its the same thing, on a different scale.
But his comment, and now his idea to vote for best BP player, has me thinking that Ross might be that anoymous account that got into it with frank on this forum before. that guy said he was a free roller, but felt like he was better than most cash game players. hmm, just a thought.
Ross, if you read this, and you are that anoynomous account, be a man and just come out of the closet eh?
Now that we have this list though, a top ten cash game players vs top ten free roller challenge would be pretty interesting. Well, not THAT interesting, but kinda amusing.
tourney players by nature are donks. the reason why tourney players have an advantage in tourneys over cash game players is because of their ability to manage short stacks....but the people at bp are so clueless when it comes to stack management i hardly think it applies. which basically means, theyre terrible.
I doubt that was Ross. He doesn't use the internet much. When he told me about his original idea to have the best 9 players that we voted for play in a separate tourney, he was excited and thought it'd be a good showdown between peeps we actually thought were good players. I think people just voted for the ones who were consistently on the leaderboard (ie at poker every single night possible); hence the turn-out. And now it's back to wasting all my time on facebook.
