View-Brian Rast is a sicko - Page 8 - Poker News

I don't know your assumptions about player stats but you are probably doing something wrong if your probability is about 16 times smaller because in holdem 8-handed more than one hand in 16 reaches the river.

Wouldn't it be fairly easy to see Laak's hole cards through the reflection of those ski goggles?

Hint: Laak knows when the cameras are on.

The cameras were on during the entirety of High Stakes Poker. He still played like **** on every hand.

It might be okay (if he balances right). Nobody knows for sure.

This is one hand where tells are irrelevant because all the information is out in the open.

? Phil's hand isn't in the open so any tells he gives off would be very relevant to Brian.

I was playing live the other night and mentioned Brian Rast and how I thought he was a sicko.... random player commented that Brian Rast was broke and that he made some degen call in a 100k tourney recently, could not stop cracking up thinking about this thread.

Played a $25-$50 game in Vegas with a fried and Laak was with us in the table.

UTG raised to $150. Laak on the button raised to $350. UTG raised to $1,000. Laak went all in for $25,000+.

Guy open folded JJ. Laak showed 83 off. Lol.

Rast confirmed his sickness on the final table.

Check out this 5-bet with J9o.

I'm not sure if it's button-clicking madness, or world class beastliness, but Phil Laak (in the booth) didn't understand the play either.

how does phil laak have money? bc he is a likeable guy, gives action, people want him at the table, and he gets invited in those great home games with guys like rick salomon or bill perkins. + he shares a lot with rast and esfandiari who are beasts. prob one of the richest guys in poker.

I've used "I KNEW I COULDN'T GET THIS LIMP THROUGH!... I'm all-in." probably at least seven times since this episode aired and gotten maximum value every time with AK/AA/KK. I steal a lot of table talk lines from Phil Laak, he's one of the best at it.

But that's just an unbiased opinion from a 3rd party observer. =)
