The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

this is for my boyz, at least those that are relivant to me in regards to poker

a little background is necessary- most of us began playing magic the gathering many many years ago. Australia is small and we became the cream, between us we have 3 national championships, back 2 back gp wins, rookie of the year title, 2nd worlds team final and countless ptq wins

The Good-

Ashton Cartwright, plays a lot and is a voice of reason, he was the first to push toward online play, but still finds time for rediculous home games...also has good hair (slightly violent when drunk) hes got a few sites up onlinefreepokerplay.com and howtoloveyourrelationship.com (best magic achievement crushing penrith fnm forever)

Rhys Gould, the good pirate. Rhys bought us into the world of dons and is an experienced cash player, pretty clever kid he helps me by doing icms and provides logical thoughts which are usually opposite to mine (best magic achievement 14th on first pro tour)

James Zhang, is balanced and logical. A fundamental for any group. Played a lot of cash and proved he is a real grinder. (best magic achievement- won back to back gps crushing japanese dreams all the way!)

The Bad-

Alex Burrows, the vilian music sometimes comes on when he enters the room... maybe its just i try to run first. He was a sydney sider but then moved to melbourne so we get free accom when we head that way. He is a clever kid and is moving up fast in the world of poker (esspecially as he applies himself). He's pretty much your annoying younger brother on the table, pesters you until he finds a hole. (im sure he won a ptq or something relivant)

Chester Swords, more puns then you can poke a stick at, is good in short doses... same as burrows if he applies himself he has all the tool's . Chesters a yugioh specialist who moved to magic (best magic achievement is scamming magic online for infinite- boys all about the benjamin franklins)

Jesse Mckenzie, hes filo... do i need to say more. i organised a home game just for him upon his request, he promised 4 runners. i Got together the other half of the table and all the other necesary things to make it work. He slept through the entire game- his runners never showed. On the poker side of things he has talent and a pretty solid work ethic (when he is awake).. im just using my blog to get even with him :) (lawn bowls like a god and thinks magic is ghay)

The Ugly-

Ryan Mckay, my roomate... i cant say he is good or it will go to his head. He final tabled the sunday millions and some ftops 6 max stuff. recently he has been showing the results due to time practice and study. He is the sorta player who's amazing on a read or awesomly spewy, certainly provides good times (magic achievements 1-3 in m10 release event when his final opponent had to leave after the round started. Can cube draft)

Tim He, im sure he is a genius... but loves to gamble and take big shots. He has great feel and great reads, is a very aggresive strong player with a 3rd place finish in some big sydney tourney for 250k. Is busy playing heads up omaha last i saw (magic achievements won modo (everything there was to win), 2x aus national champion)

Thats all the boys

im not sure where i fall (probably somewhere between the good and the bad, but that just depends how i feel and what i write) but we have a fair range of ppl doing different things at different levels
