Also: way overrated, like almost any ,,pokerstar", with an exception made again for The Iceman of course.

you are dead wrong here.. if you are dont enjoy watching Sammy Farha on TV than must be one bitter person with a dry personality.. agree his poker skills are questionable but his persona is unmatched (ok , maybe Daniel)and HSP is simply boring without him.. he's likable , period....and lets not forget his contributions to poker which is never discussed, he indirectly had the biggest effect on the history of poker, he beats moneymaker, this website doesnt even exist

Dude. you're responding to a troll. I don't think that anyone on this forum has a true bad thing to say about Sammy.

You'd be surprised. There's been a number of accounts about how badly he treats dealers, and he's come across as a self absorbed douche on more than one occasion.

nice story bro.

2p2 existed before moneymaker beat farha so lol at saying it wouldn't exist.

there is no way sammy would have anything better to do than play on high stakes poker. i mean... what else? kid being born? wedding? doubt it. he loves the gamble, cameras and game.

so i'm thinking the truth is he was either not invited by the producers this year as they favoured younger guys or....... that he didn't want to risk losing a lot. it will be minimum $200k buy in from the start imo and they'll prob do a $500k minimum session so he could easily lose a million the way he plays. not saying he's busto.. just not filthy rich.

Wait... Sammy Farha was playing for real on HSP? I assumed he was just donking it up for metagame or something.

The forum switched to a new software package in 2002. Anyone who was registered before the conversion date is shown as having registered in 2002. The Forum Archives contain material dating back to 1997. I don't know if the forum was around before then.

listen, bitches... If SF would not have held that cigarette in is hand and looked like A guy that that owned the world, the poker boom would have fell flat on its face. I did not put $$$ after $$$ online, thinking about moneymaker and his John Daly like personality, I did it to look like Sammy, cool smooth and easy like a gambler from back in the days!!! Sammy is my hero, and you haters are bitches!
