LOL Costanzaments

[zerocarb]

In case you missed this gem from Day 1C:

"Jason Alexander limped into a pot and Phil Gordon checked his option in the big blind. The flop came 10-3-2, and Gordon bet out. Alexander raised and Gordon called. The turn brought another 10 and this time Phil bet out and Alexander just called. The river brought a 5 and Alexander gets the rest of his money in the pot. Gordon pays him off with trip tens, but it wouldn’t come without a little trash talk from the pro when he saw Alexander turn over pocket fives for a full house in the river. Needless to say, Gordon was pissed and Alexander was delighted, but everyone was laughing again soon enough."

Phil Gordon is Evil

BY: JASON ALEXANDER
FROM THE: Event 55 - World Championship No-Limit Hold'em
PUBLISHED: Sunday Jul 08, 2007 08:42 PM

I was brilliant that last level but Phil Gordon is a rapist, a convicted rapist; he bluffed me out of a pot that was legitimately mine. And, by the way, I have to say it was with a vendetta because he was like pissy for like four hours. I beat him in a hand, legitimately and brilliantly; he didn't like it and he was pissy. Like a little child, he was just waiting for the moment and then bluffed me out of hand that frankly I shouldn't have been in to begin with. But still he is a mean vicious player. Other than that it was perfect.

[stoxtrader]

I played at this table and the action is a bit off. Jason alexander acted great and phil gordon would not let this hand go. They had been playing at each other and jason was floating to bluff later.

Jason pushed gordon out of a few pots earlier and quietly mucked, so unlcear whether a bluff or not. gordon ran a big bluff later and proudly showed the table - yuck.

[Bond18]

THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE SUMMER OF GEORGE!!!

BTW Gordon is a total whiny bitch which i have experienced first hand, so go Costanza.

[hiho]

Would be funny if when Gordan said he had the nuts if he asked him "But are you master of your domain?"

Seconded. Probably one of my least favorite players because of all the whining and bitching and holier than thou attitude he has when playing.

He thought about folding 55 so he did the opposite.

If Gordon later apologizes, George can tell him to stuff his sorries in a sack.

phil gordon was angry that day, my friends, like an old man trying to send soup back in a deli

[TxSteve]

and after that flop; i WAS a professional poker player

[lairnair]

i heard Alexander is changing his outgoing voicemail message to:

"Believe it or not, George rivered a boat..."

[chicken10der]

phil gordon's angrrrryyyyy at the beat
i must suck out, or i would be busto
just like iveyyy
believe it or not, that's prestooo

amazing thread, 2+2 seems to cater perfectly to all my favorite shows whenever i am in the mood.

[Jazzy3113]

when i saw jason alexander writing a "pro" blog i was like wouldnt it be funny if it was the guy who played george, then i looked closer at his pic and thought maybe it is him, and then i saw this thread.
my favorite character of all time is now a crappy poker player, sweet

[TxSteve]

Gordon was probably primarily pissed that he mentored George on celebrity poker showdown.

that relationship has become the greatest mentor relationship since Jerry and Banya

-What's the deal with ovaltine? The bottle is round....

That's Gold Jerry!

This is indeed fantastic. I haven't looked at the updates, but Costanza for the ME event championship. Please.

So my day was brutal, but not in the sense that you might think. I ended the day with $45,000 or so, up from what I started of course, which is always good. But 16 hours of poker is so brutal. Why anyone would ever want to spend their day doing this is beyond me.

Apparently, day two will go much quicker. So I'm looking forward to that.

If he gets knocked out by Phil: "Oh ya Gordon? Well I had sex with your wife!"

Thread of teh Year!

[pokulator]

Jason Alexander was at a table with Greg Raymer in a poker stars media event and one hand Alexander didn't put in enough for his big blind.

Raymer said, "Hey you're short. I don't mean short, but short some of your big blind."

Alexander apologized and threw some more chips into the pot.

Raymer then told him, "I'd rather be short than fat anyways."

Costanza laughed, stood up, and took off his hat before saying, "Well I've got the trifecta. I'm short, fat, and BALD!"

Then when he was knocked out a little while later he stood up from the table and shouted, "I'm going to a strip club!"

[Degenerasian]

George flat out owns at life. Sucks for him that everyone will most likely be calling him "George" instead of Jason.

[skoldpadda]

To smooth things over, Alexander told Gordon he was going to do a mass mailing to all his fans telling him what a great guy Phil is... if Gordon would just be so kind to lick and seal all the envelopes for mailing.

[dozer]

Seven.

[TehVader]

How awesome would it be if George FTed this?

[CrazyEyez]

When asked how he managed to build such a chip stake, Alexander explained, "It was the perfect combination of Mountain Dew and mozzarella...just the right amount of grease on the cards..."

[TexML]

Alexander should tell the whole table "The Astonishing Tales of Costanza". He would have everyone crying and dumping chips to him.

A bit off topic, but I think my favorite Costanza quote is when he's looking for a parking space and says, "Parking is like sex. Why should I pay for it, when if I apply myself, I can get it for free?"

[Yads]

Did you just double dip those chips.

Jason Alexander Doubles Up With Set Over Set
A player in middle position raises to 3,000, another player calls, and Jason Alexander calls from the button. The flop comes K /images/graemlins/spade.gif J /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 8 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif, it's checked to Alexander who bets 15,000, the original raiser moves all in, the third player folds, and Alexander calls all in for 39,100.

His opponent shows J /images/graemlins/club.gif J /images/graemlins/spade.gif for a set of jacks, but Alexander shows K /images/graemlins/club.gif K /images/graemlins/diamond.gif for a higher set of kings. His opponent has just one out, but misses as the last two cards come 3 /images/graemlins/heart.gif 9 /images/graemlins/club.gif.

Jason Alexander wins the pot, doubling up to 99,400 in chips.

This hand was brought to you free from bad Seinfeld-related jokes; consider it Alexander's free pass this early in the day. Stay tuned for George Costanza references throughout the rest of our coverage.

This thread rules. Please God, you shone down on Jamie Gold last year, please please please let George Costanza win the Main Event this year.

P.S. More of that set-over-set stuff will suffice.

This thread delivers.

Phil G: There are too many Phil's in the poker world. So from now on, everyone, my nickname will be-

Jason A: Koko the Monkey!

Sometimes I get down on my knees and thank God that I have access to 2+2's dementia.

[Cornell Fiji]

(i looked this one up for the wording and realize it fits in without changing anything)

Phil: It has come to my attention that you floated the turn with pocket fives.

George: Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing, because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing is frowned upon... you know, cause I've played in a lot of tournaments, and I tell you, people do that all the time.

Jason Alexander Experiences Shrinkage
With the board showing Q /images/graemlins/club.gif 5 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 5 /images/graemlins/heart.gif J /images/graemlins/spade.gif on the turn, Jason Alexander checks form the big blind, his opponent in late position bets 16,000 from late position, and Alexander calls. The river card is the 2 /images/graemlins/spade.gif, Alexander checks, his opponent asks how much Alexander has left (about 32,000-34,000), and moves all in. Alexander thinks a bit before he folds, and his opponent tells him it was a good fold (but doesn't show cards to prove it).

Alexander's chip stack shrinks down to 32,800 as he screams, "I was in the pool! I was in the pool!"

From Pokernews.com

But This Was Supposed To Be "The Summer Of George!"
A player limps from middle position for 1,200, Jason Alexander moves all in from late position for 28,800, and his opponent calls with A /images/graemlins/spade.gif K /images/graemlins/heart.gif. Alexander shows K /images/graemlins/club.gif Q /images/graemlins/club.gif, and he'll need to improve to stay alive.

The board comes T /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 2 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 2 /images/graemlins/club.gif T /images/graemlins/spade.gif 8 /images/graemlins/club.gif, and Alexander loses with a lower kicker on the double-paired board. Jason Alexander, famously known for playing George Costanza on "Seinfeld," has been eliminated from the Main Event.

ESPN caught him walking away from the table, and he gave them a brief walking interview on his way out. He went a respectable distance in this tournament, and we applaud his efforts.

Once he reached the doors leading out of the Amazon Room, he turned to face the remaining players and screamed at the top of his lungs, "This was supposed to be the Summer of George!"

Okay, that last part may not have actually happened. But that's how I'll always think of it.

damn, I was hoping he would make it pretty deep. thread is gold.
