Yeah I wouldn't put it past him.

Not sure why he brings up the time issue with Ferguson, especially when he wasted more time waiting for an answer than Ferguson does with most of his decisions.

Ok I'm 3 posting which is wack BUT the 3rd possibility is this is all part of some demented prop bet.

-U have to eat a banana and look like a fool on TV
-U have to be rude and doushe'is on national TV
-U have to grunt like a freak on national TV

Basically you have to look like a total Ahole.

LOL @ Phil talking about how much the Sglasses were and the fact that Ted wouldn't pay him back. You're rich bitch.

Did you even listen to Phil?

He said he bought two because they were "so cheap" (i.e. not complaining about their price). He then said he wasn't going to ask to be paid back because it wasn't worth the hassle over $30.

Yes, I did - But not that closely - I was not trying to pick up a tell on his /sunglass buying technique. Just the fact that he was talking about the price was funny to me...And perhaps only to me, but again, I laffed.

If you thought by my post I thought the glasses were expensive...That's not what I meant.

Argh, I think Jesus made his first blunder all week, by laying down 89. I was so sure that when he raised to 12k, Forrest would go all-in and Jesus would instacall. However, WTF with insta-mucking? It's terrible to fold an 8 there with 2.5:1 odds, the other guy will be drawing to two overcards or worse very, very often.

I don't like how Chris played his K-5. Was it K 5?

Flopped top pair, check called, don't mind that at all, check check the turn, river paired Ted's 9, Chris check called, I would have bet there instead of check calling.

He may have put Forrest on a draw or a weak hand, which would make checking much better. But, yes, in that instance he was lucky that Ted decided to value bet his 9.

What would happen if Ferguson lost to Forrest, since it's double elimination? Would thei'r be two matches instead of one? Just wondering..

Ferguson would be out, since it would be his second elimination.

No wonder Chris has such a good record in these hu events, because everyone else is ***** awful, and he is only mediocre. Wtf are you doing check raising with the 89 hand, and then folding? Seriously? Seriously?

And Ted complaining about his A6 shove, when that was a pretty standard shove if Chris only had like 10-12 bb.

And run better pls Hellmuth, calling down with bottom pair just praying to spike two pair like a .01/.02nl muppet.

God after watching this week, there is no doubt I am playing the hu event next year at the WSOP. I'm sure it's tougher than this, because a lot of the internet guys will play, but the play this week has been hilariously bad.

When it comes to HU, Chris is not playing like a "live pro", he really knows what he's doing. That 98 hand was very much out of character, and yes, it was atrocious. Jesus does tend to have some brainfades every now and then.
