If the Spurs players were a Poker hand

[Sevens]

Exactly, youd take the 70% preflop all day long mate!

Arsenal's starting hand..7 2 lol

It's definitely rare I am folding KK preflop, that's for sure, but I have done so. AKs I am happier to let go if the action goes nuts!

Let’s not derail the thread chaps, betting and gambling is the place to discuss the various merits of starting hands etc

I'd rather derail the thread than be Ben Davies......!

Don’t diss gentle Ben!

Mate, I'm talking statistically. Of course there's a huge amount you could analyse in terms of the different approaches.

I was just simply stating that suited connectors, like QJ, isn't statistically considered a really big starting hand.

Anyway I'm done lol.

Completely get where you’re coming from mate, I was looking at it in terms of what is perceived as a good or sexy hand but not based on the statistics but each to their own.

What would you say all those players are then based on your model?

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Preflop, EP I raise with AKs and will call a 3 bet with it. With 55 I will probably fold, unless the table has proven to be super passive and predictable, but I almost definitely fold to a 3 bet unless others have called the 3 bet and then I might set mine.

Same approach I’d take.

wonder which spurs player would be the best poker player?

id like to see a heads up between Jose and either Hugo or PEH.

Can also imagine Lucas getting really stroppy if he lost, Dele would be fun to play with but maybe get bored, Dier would be so readable, Joe Hart wouldn’t shut up, Bergwijn would be hard to read maybe. Winks would fold every hand haha.

I'm only kidding. I actually like Davies! He is a good pro and I am happy with him as back up in the side.

Who is AJs? The hand that always excites but rarely delivers?

I know Bruv, just bantering myself.

Don’t get me started on AJ...

I wouldn't play with PEH. I value my life! I reckon Hugo is a good shout. Or Kane. They both have discipline and patience and those are two key traits a good player needs to have. I reckon Toby may be a dark horse as apparently him and the Belgian lads often used to play board games. From players past, Teddy ended up being a decent player in real life.

Ok here goes lol

AA has to be Kane - unplayable!
KK Alderweireld - defends like a king!
QQ Sonnie - beautiful footballer
JJ PEH - master of all trades
10/10 Hugo - confident
A/K Sissoko -solid as fuck
A/Q Reggie - nice raiser lol
A/J Ndombele - ballsy raise

Yea Kane and Toby would be good for sure. Hahah yea PEH would win even if he didn’t win what a legend, chips would be flying everywhere, he’s a maniac and I love him!

Jose would be so funny to see him bluff, his poker chat and reads would be incredible I reckon.

Love this!!!

so spot on especially the Ndombele A/J ballsy raise love it bro.

 

[Mr Pink]

And out of our current squad I'd tip Dier to be a decent player!

Honestly? I think it would be too easy to make him tilt! Some verbals and a couple of bad beats and I think he'd become an ATM!

Nooooo he’s very thoughtful and intelligent sure but can’t see him as a good player, he’d just be far too readable. But he also might be extremely quiet type of player, head down hoodie up type of player haha yea that’s got me thinking that one.

Actually that is very true, he’d tilt so easily. I think Bergwijn could be really solid, maybe also Hugo and Toby.

You think that the best strategist in the game would tilt from a bit of verbal?

Mate...

You just know he’d be calculating odds throughout and pissing you off while he takes his time with them.

I’d love to see his reaction if you called him a fish after taking a pot off him though...
