good post m8... totaly in agreement happy new year to you too
I'm a little pulled out today, trying to get caught up on scores of PM's & stuff, (answering my PM's is like painting the Forth Bridge, it's never-ending!), so I'll pick up the questions - if nobody else does - on Saturday, when I'm back in the Office, if you don't mind guys.
Meanwhile, from all the Total Player Team, a happy new year to you all. It's going to be a VERY happy year for our Total Player winner, that's for sure.
And whoever he or she is, I'm sure every one of you will Rail them every yard of what's going to be a very long & exciting journey.

I agree with you m8 - sadly I dont think our play on the PLO MTT's will be given consideration

the post was about bankroll and the dangers of striving to impress etc etc but thanx any rat
In Response to Re: OFFICIAL TOTAL PLAYER THREAD : +1 when this whole thing started i had a list in my mind of the players who i thought would be picked and lolufold was at the top of it....the list consisted of lolufold sharksbite Pokerbcity angie1970 dantb10 TheSwiss Gliterbabe Gerrard9 Scotty77 Dohhhhh Oynutter 3 of them have made it already and im pretty sure u will see a few more off that list get picked at some point! but im sorry if lolufold aint selected its a bit of a joke! Posted by Eagle26
WOW!---THANKS EAGLE!!---for putting me up there with the big boys (shome mishtake shorely), lol--unfortunately I can't play much at all at the moment, due to technical issues, but you never know ya luck innit!---great confidence boost though---cheers m8 !
I will pick up on the unanswered questions shortly, bear with me, I've been Offline since Thursday.
But for now, it's Saturday again, so tonight is Total Player night, & we will see the third batch of Mentor Picks this evening, this time it's David doing the selections.
Just a reminder, the 6 Mentor Picks to date are.....
cottlad
cowgomoo
dantb10
penguin7
pokerbcity
sharksbite
They will be joined by three more tonight.
The Show will be Live, at 10pm, on Channel 865, straight after Master Cash.
None of us know who tonight's Picks are, or will be, only David knows that, & the first Rich & I will know of their identity is when David does his "reveal" in the last 15 minutes or so of tonight's Show.
But I do know that of the short-listed Ten......
TWO are Low Stakes Cash players.
THREE are Tournament players.
TWO are Mid-Stakes Cash players.
TWO are SNG players.
ONE is a High-Stakes Cash player.
Remember, in effect, qualification is weekly. Even if you don't get picked tonight, everyone starts with a clean slate each week, so it's not over until the overly plump lady gives forth.

Hi ratt,
That's not correct - Omaha play IS taken into consideration.
To clarify.
Omaha hands cannot be shown on 865. We don't have the technology, sorry.
Someone who qualified via Omaha would need to play some NLH, too, & use of some of their NLH hands to send in to be Analysed on the Live Show, on Saturday, as we need a hand or hands to talk through, & we can't show Omaha.
But that's very different from "Omahs is not taken into consideratrion". It IS, please rest assured.
Personally, if I were eligible to be part of Total Player, I'd major on NLH this time around, as Omaha has only been here a few weeks, thus Liquidity is still quite thin, until it builds momentum.
It's also worth remembering that the Prizes are all for NLH Tourneys, & so "Omaha Only" players might not be well received by the Voters.
Congratulations to the players picked this week, special mention to Phil12UK who I have played with on the tables regularly. Hope you go all the way mate.

What happened to Cowgomoo? It was a different name on Matts pics at the end?
