its seems you will have to elaborate the events then, if u want the answer you are looking for.

Suggest that no-one of us were at Lockleys.

But i agree with above, that luck plays on a FT. Irrespective of the location of said table.

All I can say is, come to the Lockleys on Thursday night and experience the intimidation for yourself. Crutches never looked so scary...

This thread is boring if you mention something but then dont tell people the whole story.
Riskers gamble, experts calculate.

Ok, ok... time to spill the beans in stereo.

A point of contention exists in that particular venue over one particular player who 'fuels up' and exhibits aggressive behaviour to players.. so much so, that one on evening the game was called off due to her very explosive behaviour. Such as, launching verbals like fireballs across the table.

I am sure there are other 'Lockleys' players who have experienced the magic...

Tell me this, if someone sitting across from you made YOU cringe, would your poker play be affected? Would you be on tilt just to get off that table? And there lies the story of how the final table last night battled till the end.

This has been raised numerous times on here, with varying degrees of support. I personally like the idea, but I seem to think Garth rebuffed it pretty well one time (can't remember the line he took tho)


I'm guessing the classic *shrug*

Ahh but thats meant to be the challenge. The person in question ran fast and far, far away subsequent to their last 'episode'. Now we just have to sit back and wait for the fire to completely burn out.

This topic is extremely stupid. First you come online and tease us with pointless shit, and then the actual story is nothing short of disappointing.

A players behaviour at the table has nothing to do with skill or luck on other players. If its a problem, report it to the TD. That's that.

We had this topic before (skill or luck on NPL final tables), I started the very thread actually. I can't find it now, but its out there.
