Hellmuth vs. Negreanu "High Stakes Duel 2" Confirmed - Page 33 - Poker News

Where did I say "I just heard about him" you braindead ape? Way to go and get all hung up on a minor semantic detail from the post that has nothing to do with the point at all

I'm pretty sure he has a nice pile of money in the bank to show for it

Also, I can how Jorstad or Kenney would be a more interesting matchup, but I'm not seeing eye to eye with the "we need to up the excitement, get Chidwick in there!" viewpoint

Lmao. I don’t find Koon to be particularly entertaining but he’s 100000 times more fun than Chidwick and Bonomo. Maybe I’m just getting trolled idk

Extra funny that some people are confused on why Koon is poker’s poster boy.

I believe tomorrow (wednesday 12/7), is the Koon/Hellmuth $1.6M Hu match on pokergo. Should be great entertainment, I wish my Roku PGo app worked, I'd sign up again.

Ya'll excited?

PokerGo, Hustler and LATB. And even the little bit I've seen from Triton it was mentioned.

It was pretty obv that Tom wanted to play short deck during the recent HSP episodes .. so he must feel/know he has an edge in that game.

All talk, yes, but if you replay any PokerGo archive that involves short deck with Koon at the table he is constantly spouting off Player's holdings before they are shown and what percentages one hand has against the other once all-in.

As with all things, I can only comment on what I've run across but IMO there's enough unrelated chatter that all points in the same direction for both of them. GL

Well known fact since the dawn of time that durr always wants to play the game where you can get away with the most amount of spewing.
