The other two, not so much...pretty much opposite of charisma.
It doesn't seem natural to me, but it seems like he is confident. It seems a bit forced, but he's doing a good job of not making it unnatural or awkward. Like when Robl is telling the story to the camera and never breaking contact with the camera until his parting stare at Tweeden's rack.

Townsend's much more coherent than Huck IMO. I've actually enjoyed watching Durr and it seems some of the pros are somewhat leery of him since he's made bad hands turn into killers and won some chips. It's almost like they might be starting to believe there's a different way to play poker.

I hope Robl gets whacked tonight so we're not forced to see his bad outfit and small patch of chest hair peek thru the opening of his undeveloped chest anymore. Did I forget his lack of ability in pronouncing most words, his overall awkwardness, his freaky body language, and his worse than Jeff Spicolli like voice?

Wonder if he's been watching from his condo that overlooks the bus depot? Maybe he's contemplating the next cage fight he'll buy out of or the horrible prop bet he'll lose?

Huck Seed looks constantly high on drugs. Must be nice to be Huck.

Apparently Chan only calls bets when he has a Q-high straight. First against Seidel, now on PAD!

WTF. How does no one bet at all there? I'm glad Durrr was as confused as the rest of us.

Did Chan drop his energy drink at the end, and Durrr said "It's ok it's just water". ?

Clearly, Tom Dwan is the new Gus Hansen.

"I didn't have many good cards." Uh? He had better cards than anyone else at the table. Try putting some money in the pot when you look down at AA, JJ, 77, and flopped straights.

So sweet to see Chan gone.

I'm not sure if it's the "nets" presence but this weeks show is pretty boring.

Also, Robl kinda reminds me of a slimmer suit wearing version Chris from family guy.

The nets are clearly outclassed and they know it. They act slow because they're ****-scared of giving any tell away to guys like Seed, Chan, and Doyle. IMO, they're also afraid of looking foolish on TV. Especially guys like Durrr and Good2cu

Durr doesn't seem to be afraid to look foolish imo. Still playing pretty crazy poker the last 2 weeks.

There seems to be two schools of thought when it comes to the social skills of some of the recent internet add ons to televised poker.


Seems a bunch of people find it cool and and funny when someone says "rigged" or "a phrase like "welcome to valuetown, population you" and then others like myself that were not only embarrassed for the "internet" players when the watch the show, but are amazed when they open this thread and read how many people praise them for the very thing I would expect them to get ridiculed for.

Seriously though Domonic you used to have awesome credability posing those trip reports in OOT, now you are a joke trawling G2CU threads hating on any critisism. I seriously think Andrew would be embarassed to be associated with you, cmon man what are you twice his age nearly? Stop living vicariously through him plz...
For real? Glad I was as predictable as Dom. Yeah man pretty much what u said about him is spot on.
