Personally i dont feel i am afraid to play anyone on sky! If a player is tight i will bully them, if they are aggressive ill let them keep stealing then when i get a hand i will slow play them till they usuall go all in! Dont look at any name and think "Oh No" especially in deepstacks... hence why iv won 2 of the £20 deepstacks and the 1st Tikay sleepstack so far Posted by FlashFlush
i cant believe that sharksbite has not been mentioned yet.. she is definately one of the best mtts players on this site, along with the swiss who also has not been mentioned..
Hi Guys, I dont see this as the right question, as i dont have anyone on the site that i would avoid. Now if it was a question of who do i respect that is totally different. I think it is dangerous to say who you fear or give any comments on other players, and as ive had a positive and negative comment on this thread, im in a good position to say this, as when i play these 2 players im not going to think im any better or worse than them or try and play any differently than normal. The last thing i will say on this, is, the other day i played in a field that included, J Aikenhead,K Marenhlotz,K Oconnel,M Smyth,J Kalmar, S Davis and other pros and came 16 th out of 86 and didnt feel intimidated, so if i can do that then NOONE on Sky will intimidate me. There is a saying every dog will have his day and that is whats good about poker. col

Spot on Colin... yes there are many players on here i respect, but like you i fear none, if you sit at a table and think "oh No" you have lost before you even start... Last night i sat on my opening table of the deepstack with Sharky, Greg and SoLack ... who we all know are very good players... i did think this is going to be hard, but if you play scared poker, then you are already half way to the cash point
This is quite an interesting post and maybe I'm a little naive but I never really look at who I'm playing against. Unless it's a regular name that you can have a chat and banter with I just play and take little notice of who the opponents are.
That being said, when you do come up against a good player I think it is generally easier to play them becasue they make the right moves and are therefore a little more predictable. Mostly....
I agree with the post by Applemac that bad players are the hardest to play against.
Inexperienced loose aggressive players because unless you have a straight, flush or trips you'll very rarely know where you are in the hand, is your two pair good when you've been raised on every street etc.
In Response to Re: Players you'd rather avoid : Madmoo is a good cash player, miles better than me, but not right up there with the best tourney players. Posted by BigBluster
