Yea he's overall a very boring guy by the looks of it, so that doesn't surprise me one bit.

Is Ellix's friend that he goes outside with Howard Lederer, or just his identical twin (at Howard's 2008 weight in 2004).

Ellix was a fixture at the peppermill in Reno about a year ago playing 2-4 and 4-8 Limit Hold'em. I see him there once and a while but he's a pretty funny guy starts alot of arguments with people and thinks he's the best Hold'em player in the world.

That should tell you something about yourself, and that something is not "I have a sophisticated sense of humor".

I don't know, I think "I have a sophisticated sense of humor" fits just fine. I'm not the kind of person who needs his preferences validated by the majority.

Just kidding, he's still a homeless dude who begs for money and then donks off his pan handling funds, while cursing out everyone in earshot.

i don't see why anyone thinks powers was out of line...

Did McManus say "you're disrespecting the game" before or after Powers was riding him for "He called with JACK HIGH" ?

I thought McManus really, really looked bad there.

Reminded me of when Steve Danneman(n?) gave gifts to everyone at some "champions" table tournament.... Phil Hellmuth was getting all tilty and shoving his chips into a big sloppy pile... and suddenly, Danneman goes off on Phil.... calling him a "punk" and what not.

That time, Phil was just totally frustrated. Nowhere near his more recent "idiots who can't spell poker" rants.

Think PokerGo/PokerCentral must've slammed YT with a lot of copyright claims when they obtained the WSOP rights because you can't find most memorable old WSOP hands on YT anymore. Unfortunate and probably counter-productive if they are trying to grow the value of their archival WSOP assets. It wouldn't hurt to have select hands available on YT's platform to pull people in. Hopefully they get on that eventually.
