i played for about 9 hours with lisandro on day 1. he was not only fun to play with, but friendly, wanted to teach people things, etc. while i'd like PF to do very well, i'm rooting for jeff.

Just wondering, did he chew gum all the time like he did a year or so ago when he won a circuit event (with Ivey and him having some pretty interesting battles)? He said it reduces tells.

Lisandro is obviously a top player.

I don't know. He was directly to my right for approximately five hours of the Razz event and I think he was playing slightly too aggressively. I'm not sure he has the sensitivity to game conditions to finish off one of these large-field hold'em tournaments.

Lisandro and Cunningham are arguably better tournament players than PF.

[/ QUOTE ]

Arguably? Are you kidding me? Allen Cunningham has won four bracelets and could pull even with PHIL IVEY in bracelets if he goes on to win the main event. That's the same Phil Ivey widely regarded as the best poker player in the world. Lisandro and Friedman are nice players, but come on. Cunningham has been the best player left in the field for quite some time.

There's a lot of arguments for Cunningham being the best player in the field, and I think he clearly is, but the number of bracelets isn't really the best one.

As I said, I was being diplomatic.

the rest being based on the fact its a donkament, and not 300BB+ deep NL

the best NL player's strengths are neutered by the shortstacks
