PokerStars.net The Big Game, Week of August 23rd on FOX - Page 9 - Poker Card Room

Well if thats the case he could probably pick better spots then saying someone who is 40 plus with a full thick head of hair is taking Rogaine.

It just comes across as really forced and reflects poorly on the person who is trying to make Phil look bad.

Im not a NL expert, but he would need to make a set, and assuming he has JJ-AA, not have an overcard to his pair on the board to get paid off. Also if there is an overcard to his top set, there is a 25% chance that the LC has a better set.

Not to mention there is no guarantee the LC stacks off with an overpair depending on the suits and his general nittiness. I'm no math expert, but it feels like a fold to me. Maybe someone can run some numbers

I don't get the Danni hate - DN is absolutely off-the-charts annoying this week (and last).

DS just had that one balding comment, right? I don't think he was being too serious, and I assume he was just joking around implying PH is getting old, not that he's actually going bald.

lol the baldness comment was random and pretty corny, not happy about that one.
everything else was pretty in line with what phil and i were saying to eachother (believe it or not, the 11 hours we played was edited down and you don't hear everything).

I'm ready when you are, PokerStars Steve.

You mean I have to send a SECOND video in?

The bolded part isn't true.

He was probably barely getting the odds to draw to a set but didn't want to get involved in a multiway pot where he had nothing invested and wasn't closing the action (Phil could backraise).

This would be great, I hope somebody qualifies and shows up with some personality. We're constantly being told that the game is changing and these "young internet kids" are transforming poker.

Well, let's get one of these unknowns on the show and see what they got!

Come on, the guy used to be a RACE CAR DRIVER

I kinda feel sorry for him, at least he seems to enjoy himself.

Also Amanda and Daniel should change roles. We all want to see his legs and Amanda own Hellmuth

It wasn't really the Phil bashing thing that bothered me so much. Sterns a big high stakes winner being given the chance to play in a TV cash game which has been set up with a huge fish or maybe a couple of huge fish depending on what way you look at it

I just felt Sterns whole demeanour and attitude was really poor. It felt like he had a huge superiority complex towards the rest of the table.

I am not hating for the sake of hating as I liked the guy on 2M2M but just giving an honest opinion on how douche I felt he came across.

He may be doing it with 'good heart' as you put it, but main thing he goes over the top in is being annoying. He is the pro in that.

I'm pretty sure that's it. He had a King, and a King hit the flop, and he stood up to make sure that it was a King and not a Jack (and said something like, "Is that a King?"). Yeah, big tell (especially since one guy had pocket Jacks, minimizing the chance he needed a Jack), but that was the reason-poor eyesight.
