hey everyone, pretty happy to be going through, just want to say unlucky to those who went out, pryce, i thought you might go through, you've got a really good tournament game, gl cottlad and penguin also really unlucky both solid players,
Very well done to the selected 3 and unlucky to the other 3. Everyone who I spoke to will back up that I said the same 3 that got through were my prediction. Dan... Excellent readon Mackem, wow, im so suprised he didn't chat back on your play, something must of stopped him doing that ;-) ... Yippee I think you made the most profit out of anyone which cannot be ignored... Glitter... You are a class grinder, and like myself I imagine you struggled for hands to send in as you play pretty ABC but playing 100% ABC is the way forward IMO... well done m8, the 3 I predicted.
As for the other 3, remember as been said time and time again your are in the top 95% of the site, that is a compliment in itself.... Cotlad, you ran like a 3 legged donkey at just the wrong time, If you run good who knows you may be in the final 3, but hey ho, im sure they will do viva las vegas later on in the year. Penguin and Pryce, for NON- Reg forum regs, you have done excellent to get this far and that really shows your skill at this game. Too get this far you are excellent players, not much more can be said but 3 had to go. Unlucky and well done.
Only joking well done to the others - plenty of time for me yet.
Unfortunately I am a little disappointed that I didn't get much out of the process and perhaps wasn't given the same chances as others but that's life and I'll continue to learn by myself and enjoy the game!
Once again well done to the guys that got through you deserved it.
Wow sooo intense as I thought, First of all I really feel for you guys that didnt make it, I can imagine the dissapointment. The hand selections, stats and reads etc from all 6 were awsome. It really sets a very tough standard for next week ! Big congrats to all 3 through to phase 2, think Ed made some really fine choices.
Well done to Dan, glitterbabe, and yippeeyappee on getting through to the final 3, they showed some great reads and laydowns tonight on total player.To the others keep doing the same and i'm sure we will be seeing you in next years TP if not before.It looked a tough choice for Ed Giddens.

And Just too add.....Congratulations to Brownndog who is now part of Team Matt! Good Luck for monday:)
Ah gutted. How do I fold aces and not get through?? Only joking well done to the others - plenty of time for me yet.

Yes you made a good laydown unlucky but to be fair i would like to take you up on one point.How can you say you wasnt given the same chances as the others it was my understanding you all got the same so thats not fair on ED or SKY for that matter just my opinion but it was a Level Playing field from what i could see unless you know different
Congratulations and sincere commiserations to those players in Ed's TP team this evening.
I think you all did a fantastic job - and the competition was so tight between you all - I for one was impressed by all of your plays.
Cottlad, Pryce6 and Penguin7 - hold you heads high - you did an amazing job - I don't doubt that your poker careers will go from strength to strength - and I will be watching. This will sound so horribly clichéd - but it's onwards and upwards from now on.
TO Yippee, Gliterbabe and Dan... Congrats! Now the hard work begins!
Make sure you use and abuse Ed. He is there for you -and I have no doubt he will be hard on your case if he thinks you can plug any leaks.
Good luck to all - you have my number should you have any probs.
So, this is where we are now, as we enter Week 2 of Boot-Camp Phase 1. It was confirmed this evening that the place of POKERBCITY (who withdrew) has been taken by brownndog, who had originally been short-listed but not made the final 6 of Team Ed.
So, through to Boot-Camp Phase 2 are.....

Lol I was joking about the laydown!
Listen I'm not complaining about the result. I never expected to win, for me it is a massive achievement to come this far! I have played for less than a year and here I am - I am very proud.
Therefore the big thing for me to get out of this was to learn and improve as a player from my mentor. Imo that didn't happen.
Pryce is a gud bloke, n a crackin player! - Whatever the guys say now is bound to be driven by emotions, the occasion got to me, and Im not even involved.
I had my favourites, course I did, who didnt?
Think gut reactions r inevitable, n sometimes theyre guna show alot of emiotion, wether it be positive or negative. But look what they're playing for guys.
Look at it from their point of view, it's huge. life changing, I think them going over the top either way, is very understandable right now, and in the end, everyone will come out of the whole thing with lots of credit.

ok well i guess you need to take that up with ED from what i know of him i very much doubt that was the case but you are young enough to come again if you're good enough then you will but just a piece of advice you can take or leave.If you feel that was the case then i suggest you PM ED and ask why rather than cast aspurtions on the forum good luck for the future

i am thoroughly enjoying this whole tp thingy

First up......what must Cottlad, Penguin, & Pryce 6 feel like right now? (And what a tough night for Ed!).l
Good to see everyone remembering these three guys whilst bigging up the survivors.
If it makes those guys feel any better, many more will fall by the wayside in the coming weeks. There can only be one Total Player.
Still, we understand how much it must have hurt tonight. Almost.
I think you all did a fantastic job - and the competition was so tight between you all - I for one was impressed by all of your plays.
Cottlad, Pryce6 and Penguin7 - hold you heads high - you did an amazing job - I don't doubt that your poker careers will go from strength to strength - and I will be watching. This will sound so horribly clichéd - but it's onwards and upwards from now on.
