I think by all means you should have been there instead of any of them nine fools.
I think U need to put more effort into this forum...no profile set,no scores you have 4 post, 2 of them being diss post. This is not facebook, this is not a site for you to come on to and cry about the stuff you feel is wrong in the world, save that for your poetry book.Poker disscussions not let me rag on the poster discussion..no if people put up lame chit by all means rag on if not..no need to put stuff on here thats gonna diss people that want to post, inform get opinions. when you put your scores up let me know..becuase I think you took a shot at me, so I would love to see if your any better
I did not "diss" anyone in any of my posts. Why are you so mad? I am pretty sure I was not crying either but way to call the kettle black IMO. I guess I should have elaborated some more. Today's final table probably took a hell of a lot longer than two hours. For you to come here and post how terrible people play is pretty lol'able IMO. These guys all started the day up almost a MILLION. A far cry from your 1000 dollar score and although your 44 posts have me 10 to 1... I don't want to get into a pissing match. Go Absolute. Did you get a refund?
so you know I reliaze that the FT took longer then 2 hrs, I know it started at 10am sunday and ran into early 3am..I was on poker news watching hand by hand so I can voice my opinion how I please, I did ask for opinions, and disscusions..not cold remarks about what I posted..there is a phillips post on here and it seems is the norm believes he was playing pretty bad, kim was unfortunate to be short stack, and chino got in a race that ended bad and those are good players I wanted to see go deep..for a guy to come in chipleader and was not coached into playing big stack poker I think is pretty awful. IMO ill say it again IMO I think he played bad and got lucky to win flips to get back to 3rd pl, but if you play the game you know thats part of it. I just think your using this as facebook and hate to see that, and as for my scores, I have to play in stakes were ppl to not value the tournament becuase of the buy ins, and 1000k is decent but pennies compared to some 1st pl victories, but it is mine, and im happy to be in the 70th percentile better then being at the very bottom. enjoy P5's though and refund..Im clueless on that joke

ESPN did a shitty job. They knew how tough it would be. Watching the live feed drove me crazy with all the breaks. I hope they learn something from this.

It's really hard to say, the episodes are all very condensed to show only key hands, there was likely a lot more action that led to a lot of those descisions. But from what we saw, yeah those were some pretty aweful plays....

Regarding the "refund", it's become an old topic that has to do with AP and UB from previous management. Don't feel like getting into it since it's been repeated over and over again in the past. If someone wants to, I'll let them take it from here.

Probably won't learn anything from this. I'm sure they got their ratings and the only ones complaining about the HU are the ones like us that know better.
For this to be any good for the poker players, this needs to be done live feed in real time. For the average Joe, they need to spice it up with interviews, more hands, and more excitement. They definitely needed to make the flow of this FT & HU smoother.
Not bad since they only had 48 hours, but ESPN should know better. Poker players watch this....we'll know if they do a shitty job. AND DAMN WELL SURE THEY DID.

Is Ylon's K-high flush fold standard or is that a really solid/tough fold?

ESPN is a joke...just because theres no all in's every hand, they show 2 hands of heads up...and the way they told the floor to not give scotty a penalty....and then telling them to overturn hellmuth's penalty because he is their ratings....what a joke

All that matters is there was a Bax and Sheets sighting.
they had 5 horses at the table on the el oh.

My favorite part was Norman Chad explaining Phillips' 10-high shove by saying he's exhausted. Yeah, dude played some grueling days of poker 3 months ago and now he's so exhausted from this he bluff jams with millions on the line. Thanks for the insight Norm, your understanding of the game is second to none.

OP please let us know when your book is coming out. I'll be the first to not order it.

phillips and kelly kim seem like they didnt put any thought into how to play the FT over the last 4 months...kim folds down to less than 2 bbs more than once LOL and essentially gets very lucky to move up one place....phillips just spews hardcore, not really any other way to put it...With all of that said, its their choice to play however they wish

I'm going to disagree about Kelly Kim. When you are that short just getting up to 8th is a bonus and with several players on the table who may explode at any time it's not a bad strategy to try and hold on for another place when you have very very little shot of doing much else.

Im just glad Schwartz kept it underground
WTF was he talking about?
|
|

I noticed a lot of bluffing..... Too much bluffing. Delaying the FT and allowing the players to watch the videos definitely had a bad effect on this IMO..
Also, Eastgate didn't look happy after he won, he was just chillin... SHOW SOME EMOTION!!

He said he was a Chess hustler. Maybe there are people that would be looking for him? Rob him? I dunno. He said that he was into Poker for the money, not the fame...
