I posted it and cut out his name.

I'll start with Sharkscope:



This indicates live results, particularly this year's WSOP. As you see, there are three well-known pros at your table, although none of them have partcularly stellar results thus far this year.

Vanessa Selbst is, in my opinion, the strongest player at your table and the one I know the most about. She posts on 2+2 as fslexcduck and is sponsored in some way by Stars. She is a very strong player with a good grip on the math. I have seen her make some borderline reckless plays -- she can be very aggressive. She has some impressive results in past years and has good bet sizing. She will open about four times an orbit if the table lets her get away with it, but she is a thinking LAG.

I've never seen Josh Norris play, but he is a coach at Daniel N's Poker VT. His bio is online.

Everyone knows Robert Varkonyi. He won the Main Event the year before Moneymaker. He gets a lot of crap as the worst Main Event winner, although that probably is unfair. I only played with him for a very short time, but he was fairly standard tight when I played. He doesn't have the same notion of bet sizing and three betting that most of the online generation have. In my brief experience he was a very nice and pleasant guy to play with.

I'm done with this table for the moment. Someone should still check Hendon Mob and google each of the names, etc, etc.

He is a she, and PokerStars newest pro.

She will be tough.

Fatty, Rio should break tables in Pavilion High to Low. You are right in the middle. My guess is if you break it will be very late. This assumes they don't change the breaking order from the past.

GL!

My opinion is that Vanessa Selbst is the best female poker player in the world and one of the best in the world period. - I've been consistently impressed with her play when I've seen it and also her videos on deuces cracked - I watched the full live stream when she won her NAPT and she played excellently - certainly aggressive and not scared to bluff. She will certainly be in a lot of pots - glad she isn't at my table!

Agree that Vanessa is a very, very good creative and aggressive player, both from what I've seen of her on TV and on DeucesCracked. On TV she's gone on super aggressive tilt - you can tell she's steaming if she starts berating a player.

Joshua Norris plays as theNorfman and has a couple million in online wins. He has a few strategy posts here and there and appears very strong to me. At least twice I've seen him discuss the merits of overlimping with AA or KK in a family pot -- he is obviously a bit tricky. He is rated 134 on P5s. Looking through his posts, I'd say he tends to call lighter than most other online pros.

Your table doesn't look that great to me.

Ludovic Lacay plays online as Sir Cuts. I found at least six references to him as the strongest French player going, with people picking him ahead of Elky and Benyamine. He has two final tables at the WSOP this year and a number of EPT final tables. I haven't found a lot of hand histories online, but he seems to be a bit on the LAG side. He was a chip leader at the end of Day 3 last year at the Main and there is an interview up from him from then with some interesting observations. He has a ton of crap online, much of it in French.

EDIT: This is all crap -- its about another player with a different, but similar name.

All the above is why I said this:

After spending some time researching...

I nominate fatshaft for the bad beat table draw for Day 3.

Maybe his table with be one of the TV tables.

Christ, it never ends. Javier Tazon is known as "MuckeDboy". A SNE on Stars who recorded his SNE hand, his cash game results look like about $7 million in winnings and one of the top ratings on PTR.

He has some complete MTT videos posted online. My Spanish isn't good enough to glean too much, but it looks to me that his cbet on the flop percentage is way too high.

It looks to me like he got SNE by shortstacking 2/4 6 max. He ain't too popular on 2+2.

Precisely.
