Scariest table ever..

[lastchance]

You're at the WSOP final table. You've managed to get Aces and Kings all day long, and also have hit incredible suckouts when you're behind to build a monster stack.

The question is, sitting down at the final table, who do you least want to see sitting at your table trying to take your chips? Which 9 players do you least want to see there?

[snoopdogg]

Something like: Gus Hansen, Doyle Brunson, Howard Lederer, Daniel Negreanu, Dan Harrington, Phil Ivey, Phil Hellmuth, Johnny Chan, Barry Greenstein.

A nightmare table that's not so loose agressive that sitting back and not doing anything too stupid will allow me to place highly.

[Aceshigh7]

Doyle Brunson
Gus Hansen
Daniel Negreanu
John Juanda
Allen Cunningham
Chris Ferguson
Howard Lederer
Phil Hellmuth
Scotty Nguyen
Johnny Chan

[Sundevils21]

When did Layne Flack fall off of everybody's lists? All of the "top xx" lists, LF has never really been mentioned. I sure as heck don't want to see that mofo.

Layne on top of his game is top-8 NL, drunk, top-3.

Without needing to mention the obvious all-time tournament greats like Doyle, Hellmuth, Chan, etc: I don't want any of these guys to my right in a NL final table with huge blinds, huge antes:
Gus Hansen
Amir Vahedi
Layne Flack
Hoyt Corkins
Ted Forrest
Kirril Gerasimov
Huck Seed
Antonio Asfandiari
Daniel Negraneau

Hoyt Corkins

I would love him on my right. He does his all in preflop dance and I call with a Aj, 77 or better type hand.

[DontRaisePlz]

Hm... that should've read on the left.

[Josh W]

I agree, Layne is the **only** player I fear. I respect a ton of players, but I've beat everybody before.

I've never beaten Layne, and he's owned me in a few tournies. Until I beat him, he'll continue to own me psychologically. I hope he takes up knitting.

I'd go with Negreanu, Ivey, Lederer, Men Nyguyn, Chip Reese, Brunson, Greenstein, Hansen.

[La Brujita]

In no particular order:

1. Dan Harrington
2. Chip Reese
3. Howard Lederer
4. Barry Greenstein
5. Doyle Brunson
6. Gus Hansen
7. Daniel Negreanu
8. Phil Ivey
9. John Juanda

If truth be told in terms of matching up against my style LAGs like Flack and Hansen are my worst matchup, but since I would be miles over my head I just put who I thought were the best players.

Absolutely, the hand the Men the Master lost on in this year's WSOP explains why. He had pocket aces, two hearts flopped, he moved all in, and some "guy" calls him with a non-nut heart flush draw and rivers it. Thats scary. While I guess I would be happy to have a table full of those players at a live cash game, where I could rebuy until I took advantage of their mistakes, at a big tournament, where when you are out you are out, they are really the last group I would want there. Obviously there are some good internet players etc., but players with the standard internet reputation scare me the most in that scenario.

[dogmeat]

This isn't what you want to hear, but at this point, I don't care who is at the final table. I'm getting good hands, I'm sucking out when I have to. Bring 'em on! If it's nine guys I've heard of, at least I know a little bit about their play.

Worst seat ever?

Right between Erostratus and "Handsome" Gus Hansen... /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

So you think you would stand a better chance against the best players in the world than ones that call all-ins with a flush draw?

You might get juices on you.

[Richard Tanner]

Actually I agree, if you do your homework and study the game for a period of time, you can sit with the best in the world. Math knowledge never changes, it's the "feel" for the game that most of us lack in some quantity. With internet players like the one against Mihn and others, there's a reduced edge since you may beat a ton of them but the one you don't ends your run.

8,9 2 suckout artists from Party Poker.

This way every time I get a good hand one of three things will happen:
1. One of the first four will blow me off it.
2. One of the second three will have a better hand.
3. One of the Party Poker kids will river me.

I don't normally respond to posts like these but after reading Greg Raymer's posts for a while and hearing the way he thinks about the game(and now of course he has the results to back it up) he'd be #1 on my list of people I wouldn't want to face.

[Mikey]

i'm surprised you didn't put Hansen first......

[berya]

It's hard to name a whole table just based on TV. But out of the ones I've played with I sure would not want to see Daniel at my table. He must have my phone number or something.

[italianstang]

Read the intro to his stupid poker book, its obnoxious.

[USCSigma1097]

My Scariest table would be:

Seat 1. A girl who thinks I'm attractive
Seat 2. A banker who wants to loan me money
Seat 3. An Empire Poker player who can't river a win against me
Seat 4. My Dad with something nice to say
Seat 5. A college coed who wants to sleep together, but "only as friends"
Seat 6. A lesbian who wants to be turned back to our team
Seat 7. Santa Claus
Seat 8. My credit card company calling to let me know that if I need a few months to make a payment, it's ok.


Why is that my scariest table? Because none of them exist.

I doubt there's 10 of them, but I'd hate to sit down with "the crew". I'd be driven insane by all the asinine celebration after each hand.

I think this thread is kinda lame, but I think that not enough people are scared of TJ in this thread.

[Officer Farva]

Very sad for your first post. This is a poker forum , not a support group.

Yes - since, obviously, every member of the crew has outlandish celebrations whenever they win because you saw one of them do it once ON AN EDITED TV SHOW.
