The two hands someone linked before are a decent example imo. I don't think he understood what negreanu was talking about when he said Sammy called with bottom pair, and it seems like his thought process was more along the lines of 'lol 2pair against aggressive bettor lol'. Also his trash talking to PA annoyed me a bit because bar a K or 6 there was no card that could let him call 3 barrels and PA is printing money by betting 3 streets there and Sammy probably just thought he pwnd Patrik.
Also when he INSTA called PA's shove in the first hand and laughed like PA was a huge idiot when PA turned over the only hand he could expect to be flipping with. 'One more Antonius please!' WTF more like bring 8 more Farha's for Antonius to play with and take monies all day long.
After that big rant I'll say I agree with him being an endless well of money, but doesn't that kinda go against the reasoning of not playing on HSP? It would make sense if he prided himself on winning but considering how many times he says stuff about just gambling etc I can't imagine that being true.
Note I don't dislike Farha I just don't think he can be good at holdem.

for the record, i think antonius played that hand, as badly as he could have. and i dont blame farha for saying what he did, at that point and time it was true. of course antonius is light years better then farha, but farha is old school, so for the old guys any time they can make a snappy comment that is half correct on a young aggro player, best believe they taking it.
