Updates, news and views on PKR Live III from the Team PKR Pros

By PKR_Danski on Saturday 21 Nov 2009 13:00


With all eight pros taking on the Main Event of PKR Live III, we ask who they fear at their starting table, who (aside from themselves) they'd like to lift the trophy, and what they've learned from past PKR Live experience...

The Frenchman hasn't played much poker recently. "I didn't play much this week, so no big wins, the main thing was not losing any money!"

Toughest starting table opponent: "I respect every player"

Pick to win: Waswini

Lessons from past PKR Live: "Trust in your game!"

PKR Live results: 6th - PKR Live II Main Event

"LOL, I did make a final table the other day! Weeeee. No major success though...it's coming. Watch out, PKR Live."

Toughest starting table opponent: "ScottyStarburst, ChivalrousGent, zanzibax and goeffbrent, there should be some chips flying."

Pick to win: "Kingand77 - no one deserves to win it more."

Lessons from past PKR Live: "Run good when it's crucial."

PKR Live results: 1st - PKR Live II Main Event, 3rd - PKR Live II Warmup

Kai returned from the APPT Cebu this week, having busted out on Day 1. "I haven't been playing online since then, I was in Manila visiting a postar/model friend."

Toughest starting table opponent: "EspenKR - the player I speak to on MSN the most. We joked about being at the same table, and now we are - rigged!"

Pick to win: EspenKR or 1Kevboy

Lessons from past PKR Live: "Don't try to outplay everyone in the first level. Tried that last time, I was out before dinner! I might valuebet more this time, but maybe this is one sick metagame???"

PKR Live results: 15th - PKR Live II Warmup

"Been doing great in cash games - won a $8.5K pot on $25/$50.

Toughest starting table opponent: "Pokerkate88 - he's a very aggressive player."

Pick to win: "Rocken1900 - great to have a Swedish winner"

Lessons from past PKR Live: "Take your time, and wait for the right spot."

PKR Live results: 2nd - PKR Live I Main Event

"Had a great time in Cebu with Kai, Beyne and others, did pretty poorly live but made $15K online while there. Have made $25K at PKR's cash tables after I got back, in prep for my PKR Live III and GUKPT Final wins!"

Toughest starting table opponent: "PatIvey is definitely the player to watch, though I am glad to have position on Tigerwing, and I'll have a few drinks with Ashley Hames as well!"

Pick to win: "PatIvey, 1Kevboy or Nesenra."

Lessons from past PKR Live: Great structure, so no need to gamble as much as I've done in the past. Also, my Q-Q will never be good against Beyne's 8-3 in cash games."

PKR Live results: No money finish

"Amsterdam was sick, so just recovering from that and keeping sharp in tournaments, ready for PKR Live III."

Toughest starting table opponent: "Some well known high stakes cash players at my table, including another Team Pro (callmebabe). I'm sure kickofff will be raising every hand."

Pick to win: "There's a bunch of people I know playing, I'd be happy if any of them won."

Lessons from past PKR Live: "It cost me about £16 to get a cab there."

PKR Live results: 11th - PKR Live II Main Event

"I've been getting in a few sneaky live games down the local casino, three €50 MTTs, two final tables, happy with that."

Toughest starting table opponent: "Golfpro699 the one to watch, plus kickofff and Najammq"

Pick to win: "Pokey85 - due a big win after a tough Vegas"

Lessons from past PKR Live: If I get to the final with a big chip lead, I'll look at my cards before running the table over, well one of them anyway ;). "

PKR Live results: 1st - PKR Live II Bounty, 4th - PKR Live I Main Event, 19th - PKR Live I Warmup

Ashley Hames
Ash has had a mixed runup to PKR Live, with some heavy beats at the $5/$10 and in live games.

Toughest starting table opponent: "The table of doom! Tigerwing, PatIvey, james666. Whether James is dangerous or not depends on the Loose Cannon's Jaegermeister stock"

Pick to win: "kickofff - kid's a legend, plays great live"

Lessons from past PKR Live: J-J doesn't hold too much sway. Don't get too lively too soon - stick around!"

PKR Live results: No money finish
