Go ben lamb! You can do it!

if my bet on lamb wins i might actually start liking him

I don't think we will see Lamb chop.

he looks like a lesbian

oh, well. gl next year.

Lamb once again gets his money in bad against Staszko.

He donked off 55 million chips with KJ on a 4bet ... kinda stupid on the first hand ...

GG though he played really good for the most part ... just didn't have much going for him at the final table ..

really ?? first hand ??? oh god

wow 1st hand! did he not eat enuff he must have not been thinking straight, go Ben go

^ how did your series go?

You've had the best WSOP run, ever. You played world-class poker and displayed unbelievable focus under an extraordinary amount of pressure. But your exit interview was horrendous.

Poker is in a tough spot. Virtually everyone is worse off with the combination of Black Friday and the broad decline in poker interest. We no longer have large corporations generating consistent exposure and even fewer opportunities to generate interest in the game for ourselves. Except, of course, in moments like this.

Was what you said wrong? Absolutely not. Gaining relative stack equity from a folded three-bet that shallow would give you more flexibility with a sizeable skill edge and winning a flip gives you a great chance to win. Sound reasoning, got it. But it's the absolute worse thing to say.

You were marketed as a rising star; a worthwhile symbol of the younger poker generation. Your results were unheard of and your amazing run had just come to an end. People who didn't really know poker, but had enough of an interest to watch the final table, wanted to hear your words.

And you miserably talked about strategy. No one cares, except us--and that's the last thing we want you to say. It's destructive. Casual fans can't empathize with your disassociated analysis and muted reaction after what was, to them, a devastatingly "abrupt" exit.

In their minds, you just lost a hand for millions and employing game theory was your natural reaction. This simply does not encourage people to play. Your systematic logic and emotionally-absent disposition are important reasons why you're an excellent player. But, difficultly, most people are not built this way: casual players can't envision themselves in your shoes and, by extension, your situation. And if they can't do that, then they won't play.

So, please do us a favor next time-- you're a talented player blessed by aliens. Talk about the emotional run, even if there was none. Talk about how you were praying for a Jack or King to hit on the river and how disappointed you were that it didn't come, even though you knew your equity was low. Or talk about how you love your girlfriend, how you can't wait to go celebrate with your friends, how lucky you are to be there. Just please, say something they can relate to: make the people think they have a chance, even if they don't. . Save the strategic explanation and, perhaps, ego salvation for the forums and not the cameras.
