Ben Lamb appreciation thread - Page 8 - Poker News

I like the new article where it talks about him losing 75K to Galfond, then follows up with him quoted as saying "its ok to take shots if it's a good game."

Would have included a better pic but I fail at the interwebs.

When i was 20 i lost like 75% of my roll in one night to "omgclayaiken" didnt know who he was because it was 6 years ago. That was obviously one of the dumber things i have done but i learned from it. It was when 2550 nl on ftp was the biggest game online. I think 50100 plo on UB had maybe just come out as well.

Take a chill pill and relax man, I just said he was fat I didn't say he isn't a great poker player. Everyone already knows he is a solid player, congrats to Ben and his strong series this year.

Glad to see this thread is happening. I've been so astounded by his success this year that I even tried to explain it to my RL non-poker friends just to share the amazement with someone lol.

Can a mod clean up the "fat" posts? They seem wildly inappropriate for this thread.

Fwiw, I don't think the posts should be deleted. Theoretically, we're all grownups here and those that aren't are just showing their true colors. I'm guessing Ben could give an eff about what those posters think.

Also, Ben posting in this thread. What up? besides the obv. Kill it in November

It was kind of annoying when he was talking about his 14th place finish and his aces getting cracked. The money all went in on the flop when he was beat against 2 pair.

You didn't see the large pre-flop raise made by Lamb.

I don't know why, but I'm not a fan at all....I get the feeling he buys into his own hype, and I hate that stare-out move of his with his naturally annoying face!

Off topic but LOL at your avatar. I <3 La Pequeña.

Lamb's an excellent player, aggressive and consistent. But Q-8 preshove/suckout on O'Dea was wretched.
