    hand 5- fold the river donking a river which came 5d has no chance of a bluff, he has either been trapping you with sets and two pair, hit a gut shot on turn or hit two pair on river.

    hand 6-one of them tricky ones, then again what you might want to think about is what hand on the flop does he see calling his raise that he beats with his KQ or KJ that isn't going ahead on the turn and will call the river. the hand you should really be thinking he has got that is not ahead of you on the river is the missed straights.

    the thing paul (lambert180) always says to me is when a bet is made your either doing it to make better hands fold or get worst hands to call and if you saying player of hand 6 is one of them better players he too will probably be thinking like that when he does the bets.

    Yeah hand 5 is the one where I think I should prob have folded. I still think hand 6 could be a call

     Put Milner in as his workrate will make up for Johnson's lack of defending and will act as cover for when Johnson bombs forward. Plus think Milner has had a good second half to the season.  Think Sturridge needs to be up front and not get stuck out on wing, and knowing Rooney he will keep dropping deep looking for the ball anyway so may as well put him in that position to start with.

    Agree with this 100%. It was what made me reconsider my formation.

    Still not sure about Milner. How do you rate Englands chances? I think we MAY scrape through the group, all rests on the Italy game IMO

    Yeah that's the formation for me. Swap Henderson for Wilshere and that is the team I would go for. Glad neither of you have picked the modern day Emile Heskey that is Welbeck!

    I chose Henderson as I want to keep as much of a Liverpool feel as possible. The liverpool front 6 have been awesome.

    Wilshere is massively overrated

    I tried that challenge, just looked at it like puzzled dog when u Tell him theres no treats left, 
    Just looking at 1995 and thinking I was playing power rangers, or kicking my mitre mouldmaster of the garages, because apparently it would last longer than a leather ball,  
    went home crying most nights trying too explain u cant play football with a basketball, showing them the word mitre imprinted on my leg.

    And just clicked the give up button.


    Never got the mitre tactic... now that was a ball!!!!

    Love this.

    we wont do it though, too attacking.  Maybe against costa rica.  We will probs drop lallana for wilshere and stick Rooney or sturridge out wide.
    Maybe even Milner for Sterling.  Loves the defence.

    I'd play shaw over baines though, better defensively, and if your going to play Lallana (definately deserves a game) might aswell play him n Shaw.  Sick combo.

    P.s Wilshere is not overrated. He is world class.  Check this comment in two month ;)

    Just a small thing about what you said about hand 3. If you put the hand through an equity calculator you'll be able to work out how much you make on average playing it the way you did. Pretty sure you made it as high an amount as you possibly could have.

    DEF........he is injury prone which is his only flaw. When fully fit he is class!

    I can understand playing a more defensive side against Uruguay but we have to go for the jugular against Italy they are a very beatable side these days

    Hi, So I played it to aggressively? Did you include all Ax hands etc.? I'm really unsure of how I should have played this hand in the long term

    Not fully sure if what you are saying is if I played it well or bad

    THIS. Henderson 5/6 to start vs Italy if anyone's interested. Want to lump on but will destroy me seeing Milner start

    I was only really looking at your equity on the turn versus his actual hand combined with the reads you gave in hand 5 and how he played both hands. Was more just in response to you wondering whether you 'played it to aggro and lost more than I should'.  Maybe if you'd have played it more passively you would have lost less than you should if that makes any sense. Think you played it well.

    Surprised by this. Henderson has had a good season but not sure about him playing in a World Cup. I'm not sure how big a role Lampard will play but I would have him on the pitch before Henderson

    I dislike them both equally, I amazed Welbeck even got in the squad tbh. What's he done this season????
