Re: ***OFFICIAL WSOP SWEAT THREAD***
So I'm guessing Hellmuth is out of the 10k PLO even though I didn't see any update about it and his twitter feed doesn't mention it. I would think that Hellmuth busting out would deserve a mention.

I've seen the group photos after McCorkell's win, it's like an audition for extras on The Big Bang Theory.

I am British, and one mans passion is another mans annoying drunken behavior I guess, I view the intoxicated louts who act like idiots in my town center every Friday + Saturday night as scumbags but I suppose from now on I should see it as them merely being passionate.

Comparing football and basketball to poker is ridiculous, poker isn't an athletic team sport played in purpose built stadiums for thousands of spectators to watch for a start.

pick your poison scrub. Go watch a bosox game or a yanks game. Bosox fans sing a song during EVERY game where the entire stadium is on their feet dancing and singing. Look at hockey fans.
you fail

no im not comparing football to poker. Im just comparing the cheering and support in american sports with soccer (worldwide sport), and it reflexes in poker because of the culture

That's the way the Brits do it. Saves on washing glasses. I would laugh if one of the little wankers was admitted to Sunrise hospital for acute alcohol
poisoning.

Re: ***OFFICIAL WSOP SWEAT THREAD***
Yes, we don't have people being trampled or crushed to death at our sports events here in the U.S.. Somehow that sucks in the eyes of Europe and South America I guess. LOL Just not enough passion I guess. Making an ass of yourself is just so much cooler.

ya sadly north americans have a little more common sense not to kill each other and injure others in a way of celebration. Im not going to pretend it doesnt happen here because it has..please see vancouver riots but for the most part we try not to kill each other like its normal
most basketball fans arent as passionate just like im sure some sprota in your country arent. NHL is and so is football.
Please refer to this video where everyone is having fun and not killing each other. And this isnt even the NFL but college/university games here

That must've been someone else "wasting" beer. Even when the Brits plastic cups split they put it in their shoe and drink it rather than waste it?

agree , nothing wrong with a rivalry or friendly jabs but I hate idiotic nationalism
just say what you like or don't like without defaming a nation because you don't like something that was done by a small group

I agree and Im totally with you on this and I avoid many parts of London on a night out for this reason.
However you have to remember that a lot of people probably had a lot of money riding on Roberto and Chris (would bet that Moorman backs them both) so passions are always going to be slightly higher. If I went on a night out knowing that im actually going to make money rather than spend it I would probably have a few to many sherbets. Its not like they were kicking off outside whetherspoons over some drunk tart.
oh and what gazzy said

Re: ***OFFICIAL WSOP SWEAT THREAD***
um hey guys it was 2-3 hours since anyone said anything about each others fans. Please let it go and talk poker instead of derailing the thread and telling people to stop talking about it when in fact it was over a long time ago.
Has Jamie gold stopped playing the wsop

Pokernews has Jens Kyllönen listed twice in the chip counts, once with 47k chips and once with 80k chips. Oops.
