Saw a Twitter post with JC sitting in Aria mixed games w JRB .. He had by far the shortest stack at the table. It would be interesting to know how they got him to play on the show and if they got their 'show up' fee back in the mixed game room! He ran extremely well, even when he folded, on Day 2 of that show. GL
There are some cool videos where people play chess in New York while wearing an earpiece with Magnus telling them what moves to make. Of course they crush the chess hustlers. It’d be cool to have an rec player with an earpiece then a pro who can see that player’s hole cards and the rest of the table, just not the other hole cards. You could have someone like, well, not Doug Polk, that’s just be unfair to the rest of the table regardless of who they are, but like Torelli or someone good. You could even make a game of it where the pros know the rec player is getting help and they get a bonus if they can guess who the helper is.
Why is Randall Emmett on any of these shows? He must be connected in Hollywood in a way where he gets the passes. Emmett is probably the most annoyingly obnoxious unfunny loser I have ever seen grace the TV. Its AMAZING to me that anyone finds him the least bit entertaining. A total no talent bum who's dad or uncle probably had a lot of money and connections in Hollywood.
Randall Emmett took all Mickey Crafts bandwidth with his stupid self-indulgent stories. Craft has real charisma, Emmett has nothing more than money and clout and society these days values that over talent. SMH
I literally watched for 2 minutes with the sound off and the whole time I could see Emmett moving his mouth. Cyn and Lamb looked like they wanted to shoot themselves sitting next to him.
I would let RE talk all day with the way he plays. He's basically always short stacked and playing ABC ... all you do is have to wait. He has roots back in our area and hasn't really changed a bit ... and probably still has a few unpaid bills in his rear view mirror.
Now as far as watching him, it's way better than having crickets abound. Tough task to be playing higher stakes than normal and try to present a home game feel.
How do you think SB felt after he slow played his JJ when Lamb would've doubled him up with the AK? It really sucks when you have a premium pair in EP/Blinds and the course of the game would be that everyone is folding to 98% of the 3-bets. I think the sleeper straddle actually hurts this game since they are playing pretty tight already and any call/raise of the straddle brings stacks into play.
I really didn't watch much, but not sure why Mikin was so short both days. Possible losses but I heard she 'added on $5K' at one point and that doesn't make sense for that game, but possible. GL
Watching the “Open House” game. So much more entertaining. Negraneau and Kaufman are great. Elezra always entertaining. Brandon Adams has the eyes of a serial killer. Better action
