Does anyone have any inside knowledge on the playing tendencies of any of our opponents that they would be winning to share?

Only person I've ever heard of is the 10 seat...he was at the time the youngest braclet winner in history (maybe still is) That was a few years ago, and it was a LHE tournament. Played pretty straight forward, again granted it was LHE if I recall correctly. Not any advice, just recalling if I had seen/heard of anyone off the top of my head.

Is it surprising that you two are at the same table? Out of 4000 left you two are at the same table? Also, did you do the write up (hometown, earnings, etc.)? Or did you pull it fromthe WSOP site?

seat 10, never seen a guy who loves to iso more tham him. with 46 bb he would probably looking for spots to 3 bet or even 4bet, aggressive. keep it simple on post flop against him, nothing too fancy, but capable of making big calls with big pressure.

We researched and compiled the information from several different sites.

The guy in seat 2 told me that the guy in seat 4 plays pretty weak and is possibly a girl in disguise, so you can probably steal his blinds a lot.

The guy in seat 4 told me that the guy in seat 2 was six years old when dirt was invented. Seat 4 said he was a little worried about seat 2 raising a lot in position, but then he figured osteoporosis had set in and his frail bones would probably just snap behind the weight of the chips.

Seriously though, I don't know anything about them except that they should be worrying about you two. Have fun, play smart, and go get em.

I remember watching Eric Froehlich in his first T.V. appearance at a WPT final table, and I beleive he won the event. I also remember the peanut gallery mentioning at the time he had just cashed 3rd or something in a different game a couple of weeks prior. I remember that he is aggressive, but not affraid to call under the gun. GL guys!
