Choose between chop pots or player profiles.

We are told over and over how Pokerstars is the largest poker room. Yet their commercials are just about the worst of any I've ever seen (Jack Links excluded). I think they are faced with a difficult proposition when 95% of their pros, noone has ever heard of (outside of online poker forums). They really aren't doing anything to build their image. "What I know about lady luck, she likes to hang with the guys that work the hardest". Lame.

What a snoozefest these eps were.
My MO in watching poker on ESPN nowadays is to put it on as background music, and pay attention when it sounds like someone's being a petulant douche.

ESPN picks awful hands to show. An AK vs AK chop. Really? You couldn't find a better hand?

I love Nguyen's segment, one or two people like him need to go deep every year.

It'll be awesome when he's back next year giving us his analysis on the play with the pros segment.

I find no problem with what Driscoll did -- Brandon Stevens TWICE went into histrionics after outflopping Driscoll. The first time, the poker gods punished him for celebrating early and gave Driscoll a flush (and Driscoll, in turn, did not do any elaborate celebrating). The second time, Stevens gave a rude quip somehow justifying his second early celebration and Driscoll rightly took offense to it.

It sucks to get eliminated so close to the end. It sucks worse to have some jackass trash talk you afterwards.

Karma has a way of working these things out..... hint, hint, spoiler.

are there some rules in todays game that you cant call with nut flush draw and try to hit? Is it just standard to put in 2million BB instead of protect your huge stack and just try to hit it and then give it up. I guess the game has changed to this.

Huh what Nguyen brothers?! Soi/Cuong's not related to Scotty/Men/etc...

And no flush on the board either ... you are losing to a set or exactly QJ. I thought folding there was crazy!

Andy Bloch really loves to be on camera not as much as Hellmuth but the smerk on his face is rather tilting.

I think I'm gonna start betting big on the river EVERY TIME I have a hand and betting small on the river EVERY TIME I missed my draw and see if I make it to the november 9.

Interesting little article on Pokernews about Nguyen's thought process and him saying how it was the last hand before the dinner break, and it being a major factor how he played that hand.

Does he mean he thought Jorgensen was gonna be a bit spewy, or play loosely in that particular hand? But he only had KJ?

The worst part is how it seems to be working absurdly well 90% of the time.

he didnt cry he just said something like ''its not over'' and the other guy was a sore winner and talked back after he busted him like ''is it over now?!'' and driscoll replied he shouldnt gloat when he wins.

the winner was way out of line he shoulda stfu
