Watched it on TV last night and very well played Ian, tough heat and some great poker played by all the last three players.
I know it was filmed earlier in the year but i look forward to watching your semi final heat and hope the result for you was the same.

Good luck...............Tony

...it was a shame that the TV shows are so short, coz it was a very long game and the programme never gave a true indication of the way the game was really played.

I was constantly stealing from the cut-off against Jeff Rodgers with any 2 cards basically, coz I had spotted that he was playing way too tight (though to be fair he was pretty card dead, as was I at the time). You can see when they give the stats just before the heads up play starts just how aggressive I had been throughout, as indicated by the 'bet frequency' stats.

Thanks again m8...enjoy the semi in a few weeks,

Ian.

That you were playing aggresive but Bloom was running over the table at the start and Rogers i dont think played more then half a dozen hands that we saw.
What i tend to do is play tight which as i saw last night is not always the thing to do as by the time you start getting premium cards your short stacked.
Bit of a shame Devilfish went out so early because i think it would have been a different game if he had a fairly large stack, but of course from your point of view you must have been happy to see the back of him so early (and im sure a little smile from everyone that he got knocked out by the girl), give him a bit of credit for once he did take it well (or so we saw on tv)
Looking forward to the semis now.
