Nicholas Decktor-Korn has a fairly small history of live events, all small buy-in on Hendon Mob. He has a pretty detailed twitter feed that shares some hands he played. It appears that he gets in trouble with stubborness sometimes. He describes:
1) losing a pot where he calls three barrels with TT after being 3 bet pre with TT. Board was 8945A.
2) He three bets a woman with AK. Board comes down T43 and he bets, woman c/raises small and he shoves. She shows 33.
3) He won a pot where he fired three barrels with ten high.
He talks like an internet player. Didn't recognize Jon Turner.
He describes your table as "Amazon table 288 seat 1 for tomorrow. Scouted the table: good players with low chips on my left, randos with heaps on my right. Well see." Posted that at 4:00am Vegas time. He plays Razz and PLO. |

Senovio Ramirez has a pretty solid looking record. He finished 44th in the Main in 2007 and cashed again the next year. He appears to mostly play cash PLO these days. He plays online as "Dorsal Fin" playing almost exclusively Omaha and other mixed games.
He posts a lot on 2+2. Hand described from the Main:
- T$114,600 end of Day 3, I triple barreled bluffed the last hand, and if he calls me, I'm left with 27,000. Board is TT864. He folded JJ, I had A9.
clabbers probably has an impression of him. I'll see if he is around. |

Brent Faulkner has very limited live results, but a pretty extensive history online where he plays as StaceysMom001. He did a "guest pro" video on CardRunners described by Andrew as "I'd recommend checking out today's video. It's by a new guest pro, Staceysmom001. He has always been one of the best players on UB and I think the video is really solid. The rating is a bit low right now, but it's only because 1 or 2 people gave it a really low score and not that many people posted reviews. "
He is posting live via twitter here. Nothing much there. The hands he describes sound pretty standard. He also had a good Day 2 and a poor Day 3. He appears to have won his seat on Stars. |

Mark Radoja also looks solid. He has 8 cashes in the WSOP including a 3rd in the 6max this year. He also went from 253k to 71k. Posts on twitter here. Some of his posts suggest that he is enamored with the hero call.
See this from last years Main:
At 250/500 I open raised from UTG some old guys BB to 1250 with K/J and he called. He was terribly tight call bank bad player. Pretty much the best kinda player you could ask for at a table. Flop came K/7/10. He checked I bet 1400 and he went all in. It was about 7k more for me to call and I had about 18 behind. I obviously am pot commited but hate my hand. I sigh and call and he has 7/7 and I’m practically drawing dead.
He posted on 2+2 in 2008 a little bit and seemed a bit naive at that time. His posts read like he is quite young. |

Edward Clark appears to be an intermittent player. He has lowball results going back to the 80s and he has an 8th place at the Senior's event in 2008. That is the one that Chris finished 12th in, so he probably played with him.
He got busted three bet jamming A7o over 99. |

Byron Kaverman looks like a good spot on the surface. Only one cash in the WSOP in 2008 and virtually nothing online about him. He probably plays on Stars because played the PCA in 2008.
Given that his name is so unique, I'm going to guess he is a college student in Ohio |

Kevin Boudreau is a pretty well-known online guy. He was/is part of the "ship it holla" crew (good2CU, Apathy, Jman, etc). See this bluff excerpt:
| Quote: | | Kevin Boudreau (bonafone), the youngest of the crew, is 19 but looks about 16. Kevin is shy and unassuming, with an air of naiveté. Boudreau attended one semester of college, having left high school rich from online poker money. I begin to talk to him about how much he likes to gamble, as opposed to playing safe. He mentions that he’s investing, so he’ll be rich even if his poker winnings ever dry up… but then laughs a bit, and says, “I lost $12k flipping quarters… so yeah, I definitely like to gamble.” |
He has 4 cashes this year including a 2nd at the 5k PLO. I consider him very good. |

| I think Joe Parrish is phelted online, which would mean he has pretty modest results if that is true. He has only one WSOP cash and very little that shows up on Google. He had a very big yesterday despite sharing a table with Kido Pham and Alan Cunningham. |

That is helpful. I found a pretty good interview with him in 2008, where he says he was focused on heads-up and SNGs. This strongly suggests that he is a math guy. He also says that he prefers to play small ball and that he has good bankroll management. I'm upgrading my impression of him based on this new information. |

Spent a lot of time playing with him in 2008 Seniors. He had a big stack, so he said, Day 1 in the Seniors, but while he was chip leader going into Day 2 at our table he didn't really assert himself. He made very little on our bubble while I chipped up nicely. On one hand he raised lp and I called in the BB. I donk bet a QQx flop and he just folded.
Then he was on my left with two tables remaining. He no longer had a big stack and much of that time I had him outchipped. We were both outchipped by the big stack to our left, Mad Martyn Wilson, so maybe that's why he shut down.
Here's my comment about him in 2008: "Seat 2: Very aggro and dangerous. Was chip leader much of Day 1 or so he said. I believe it. But he didn't steal...weird combination. Unfortunate to be at the table. But didn't understand bet sizing and squeeze plays really. Very adroit with the chips." Another comment I made about him in my Trip Report later: "Very dangerous, lots of heart, but technically not good. Didn’t try to steal."
He was definitely willing to take risks back then, but only after he entered a pot. That's two years ago so who knows now. Probably hasn't improved at all.

Stacey'smom is very aggro and can be spewy. He tries to push ppl off hands. I think his 2+2 name is New001 (not sure about the number).
He is primarily a SH limit player, but does play MTTs.
I'm assuming it is the same guy. |
