ARE THE HENDON MOB OVER-RATED ??

[Taffer]

Im slightly confused as to what exactly the hendon mob represent, I have done some extensive research and apart from ram crazy something or other the other guys are luke warm successful at best yet they have this super star demeanor and a huge sponsoship deal at full tilt poker, how many bracelets have they assembled? or any other major tournament titles?. fundamentally they are not dissimilar to a bunch of pub players who have exploited a market that was at its peak, if anyone disagrees then let me know.

I definitely don't think they are overrated for the sheer fact a lot of people probably don't even know who the hendon mob is. I don't think they have this "superstar demanor" as you put it.

Besides, what's wrong with exploiting the market when it's booming? Almost every major pro signed a contract with someone for something poker related (Video games, websites, books, videos, etc etc)

FYI, I think his name is Ram "Crazy Horse" Vaswani.

And to finish this post off, Joe Beevers has the best name ever.

[Taffer]

Yes but to achieve superstar status they should have at least 1 wsop bracelet between them surely. Many better pros out there have no deal or modest compared to them I think they are a bunch of over rated so and sos.

I voted No...because they can't be over rated if I never heard of them!

Yeah not a lot of people know who the hendon mob is...btw Joe Beevers plays like 2/4 fr on FT which is not the sign of a pro imo lol...

ram vaswani has to be one of the best players out there IMO.

barney boatman is an excellent tournament player, who also rapes 50/100 PLO on full tilt, with alot of good results around europe.

ross boatman is a part time poker player, but his main passion is acting so he doesnt play too high or too seriously.

joe beevers (aside from recently being bestowed the great honour of having k9's favorite name) also has had moderate sucess in europe and in medium staks cash games online. incedently it is pretty easy for a top notch player to make a comfortable living playing 3 or 4 tables of 2/4 for 4 or 5 hours, i reckon if i ever make it in poker, those will be the games i target.

If you can beat 2/4 pretty handily while playing like 6 or 7 tables at a time 40 hrs a week you can probably make over $150K per yr from home.

You are all wrong : when I mean over rated I mean they have a monumental sponsorship deal, there are pros with no deals at all, I play 2/4 same level as beevers and boatman and we both have the same amount of bracelets where is my fat sponsorship deal, its not fair.

[xk9x]

You can't define a player's ability and/or success by WSOP braceets. While you, Barny, and Joe all have the same number of bracelets, it's VERY likely both of them are much better players than you, not to mention Joe has an infinitely cooler name than you.

Their sponsorship deal is not that huge, I don't know where you are getting this from. Sure, they have a deal with Full Tilt. I doubt they are raking in millions off of it.

[Taffer]

HOW DARE YOU, my name is way COOLER than joes plus I would be more than happy to see the mob at my table I dont rate them at all I do believe i am a better player and in the future I look forward to proving it anyway are you a good player? doubt it.

[xk9x]

For the record, NO ONE's name is cooler than Joe's...no one's. I'd love to see you play the Hendon mob. Most, if not all of them, would probably hand your ass to you. And I love how this gets turned into a finger pointing contest. "Yea, well you're not good either" - it has no relevance, ESPECIALLY when I never said I was better than the Hendon mob. And hey, next time you ASK people for their opinions, how about you don't bitch and whine when they give you an answer.

[Taffer]

How about this; you know nothing of my poker abilities so in future I would appreciate it if you dont make out that the hendon mob would "hand me my ass" as you so crudely put it no eloquence or grace in that sentence plus your opinion honks which should be mentioned.

[xk9x]

Alright, let me know next time you're beating the 200/400 + like Ram Vaswani. I'll come watch.

Btw, I said PROBABLY hand you your ass.

[AbsolutXI]

Dude these people are a dime a dozen.

[Taffer]

LOL i love playing against fish like you with over inflated opinions of themselves its hilarious, BTW VASWANI has recently lost 1 million$ playing on full tilt err kind of disproves that pathetic theory of yours lol
