Niagara is 19, and Timex is not.

maybe they let him enter the draft early like Tavares.

I thought of that on maybe the EPT seat was won or paid for.

some people are good at staking, some are good at live poker. We can switch roles whenever if you want.

I've had Andy to my immediate left for a little amount of time playing relatively deep in tournaments. The hand with the JJ you should really never fold against him - but this is obviously very player dependant. He defends from the blinds very aggressively and will just bet, bet, bet knowing that a good player's late position range to open is fairly big and includes a lot of hands where calling down on all sorts of boards is non automatic.

I can't hate the 76 against him. Although the funny thing is that he is definitely shoving for value with the 99. He has a tendancy to overplay in spots like that. Once he can get a lot of chips in first he'll just think "feck it" - he has often done big tanks in tournaments on top pair or marginal overpairs against a lot of strength. "Pot control" is not something he worries too much about.


In any case, well played and hard luck. You seem to have handled yourself very well and a big result is surely on it's way.

I think preflop with 76o is pretty bad. I don't know much about Andys game, but it seems like he would bluffraise with complete air that flop a pretty small percentage of the time and I would probably bet/fold
