I'vw played against Kenny Tran and Steve wong on fulltilt micro stake tables, but this is my favourite experience. this was in an OFC a few months ago, lucky enough to sit on the same table as Annie Duke, who was very friendly to the whole table, telling jokes etc, I was proud of this bluff!: View hand 622853 The Official DeucesCracked.com Hand History Converter ANNIEDUKE (BB): t4525 M = 50.28 DAVEWADD (UTG): t6540 M = 72.67 WEBKILL (UTG+1): t9450 M = 105 LLOYDGAMBLER (UTG+2): t1687.50 M = 18.75 JOSOFO (MP1): t3420 M = 38 NY_VILLAIN (MP2): t1887.50 M = 20.97 OUTLAWFAN2B (CO): t3285 M = 36.50 Hero (BTN): t1325 M = 14.72 KRUSSELL (SB): t2130 M = 23.67 Pre Flop: (t90) Hero is BTN with 2 <font color='black'>♣</font> 3 <font color='black'>♣</font> 6 folds, Hero raises to t180, 1 fold, ANNIEDUKE calls t120 Flop: (t390) J <font color='red'>♦</font> T <font color='black'>♣</font> A <font color='black'>♠</font> (2 players) ANNIEDUKE checks, Hero bets t180, ANNIEDUKE folds Final Pot: t390 Hero wins t390 |

| I haven't played against any pros, but I did manage to knock out a Betfair bounty in one of their Christmas tourneys, BF Rudolf, but I don't know if the player was a pro or some guy from the backroom staff. Was sweet as he limped Aces into my BB with Q9, I hit the straight on the flop and he went all in leaving me with a big smile and an extra $200 in my account Real pros don't really play at my level...one day though |

| Just finished playing a 100nl session where http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/hans-vogl was at half of my tables. At 100nl and 200nl, playing with FTP pros happens every day. Vitaly Lunkin used to be a regular opponent of mine until he won $1,891,018 in the $40,000 No Limit Hold'em 40th Anniversary event at WSOP 2009. Most of these lesser pros are actually regfishes who luckboxed a live tournament, scored a contract with FTP and now live of their 100% rakeback deal, imo. |

| Only recall the time I "sat" right next to Annie Duke. She played well and I agree was most pleasant at the table to everyone. She's a regular chatty personality. If anyone was "off color" in their remarks, she wasted no time in telling them to cut it out as well. I agree with Annie. There's no reason to be rude. |

| Online, I have played a lot of pros on Full Tilt. Mostly in tourneys. My favorite memory was playing Jim McManus in a sat, one winner, it got to HU and I won. Live, I was in a tourney at Foxwoods a couple of years ago and for some reason, there were a ton of pros in it despite it not being a big buyin. I recognized a lot of faces without necessarily being able to put names to them, had definitely seen them on TV. I was fairly new to poker then and didn't really want such competition.. I'd lasted to the 3rd break and my table broke up, was moved to another table. I was setting down my chips when I peeked at my cards, liked them OK and said call. Unfortunately, another player had already raised it up and I of course had to stay in. I said who? and at the other end of the table, with a massive stack of chips, Chris Ferguson grinned at me. (Yeah, recognized him.) Oops. (I learned a little something from that, let me tell you: know what the action is ahead of you!) I had outs but they didn't get there. Out before I even set up my chippies. Couldn't help but laugh. |

| re: Has anyone ever played a Pro Online poker I have played twice on Full Tilt in the $24 90 man KO against a red pro's. Not names i'm familiar with though i'm afraid. Not sure whether the 'pros' on there are serious 'professional' circuit players or just long hours grinders on Full Tilt. Probably the latter. When I played on Ladbrokes I played against a few semi-pro celebrities. Steve Davis and Ronnie o'sullivan (the snooker players) were on quite regularly. I knocked Steve Davis out of the last stage of qualification for the 2006 Poker Cruise (yet he still got on it....fame huh?!) I'm sorry to say I've never final tabled the Sunday Brawl and beaten off a table full of pro's, but at my stakes thats as good as it gets! ;-) |

| Yes about ten or so different pros on ft in various charity tourneys, private tournies mt sngs and cash games. Lee Watkinson, Markus Gosler, Michael Craig, Gabrielle Hill, David Bradley and Matt Sexton are the names that I recall off the top of my head. Got 4 tshirts for pro KOs to boot.

| On Full Tilt I have played against several of them allthough I have never been lucky enough to know one out in a tournment. I have doubed up through a few of them and left them crippled but never had the hands to knock them the rest of the way out. For the most part they play just like most other people. |

| I've played some of the cash tables at UB with Annie a couple times and Scott Ian a couple times but never had any big luck on either of them. There have been quite a few times that I have been at a table on Tilt in a big tournament where I was sitting with pros, but I can't for the life of me remember all of the ones I've sat with. I remember once chatting with Andy Bloch when he was at my table, other than that I can't remember. FullTilt has like 750 pros(exaggerating of course) |

| A bunch of us had encounters with Annie Duke in an OFC game last year (http://www.cardschat.com/f43/ofc-ultimatebet-aruba-buy-chat-results-158487/). She hurt me when she snapped off a bluff (which gave her the tournament chip lead), but I got more than that back when I got a full house against her. This was my second top-20 finish in three OFC UB games that year... but I'm just glad I beat Annie. Last edited by SavagePenguin : 5th April 2010 at 5:30 PM. |

| http://www.cardschat.com/f42/final-t...hlight=pokerho I also have a "I took out a Pro at Full Tilt" T-shirt. I really should learn the name of the pro I took out, it is a nice shirt. But, on the other hand, I'm absolutely positive he won't remember me, so meh...... |
