Pretty sure that anyone who has a chip protector that is himself is a huge douche.

Did you guys see when Phil Laak raised Antonio with 22 to Tonio's QQ. (..clip..)

A notorious thief and angle shooter with an expert slight-of-hand magician who have lived together for years.

IMO at a minimum they're splitting W/L - He's just taking shots with his partner to appear less nitty.

Season 4 first episode;
Phil Laak revealed to me his soul when he lost 18000 dollars in a pot to a well respected player and said:"that's 18000 dollars down the drain!"

It wasn't season 4, sorry about that.
It was season 3, one of the last episodes, at the very moment he said "Thats 18000 dollars down the drain" he was up 200 grand in that session!

Double cheers!

I really dont get some of you guys. Phil tends to get his money in with the best of it and you guys make it sound like its a bad thing. Isnt the point of poker just that, get your money in when your ahead? If you dont think so, then you are welcome at my game anytime.

Also, wtf is with everyone using the term "nit" all of a sudden? You sound like my grandmother.

Thats right. I use my posts very judiciously, so when I do post it obviously is well thought and should carry alot of weight. Either that or I am board at work.

It is definitely a douche move, and I'm not sure it was ever answered as to whether or not it was legal at this particular casino.

I just came across a blog from Phil where he discusses in detail this exact hand. It was definitely enlightening.

http://www.alwaysbluff.com/blog/phil-laa...poker-season-4/

Cliffnotes:

He doesn't think Brunson is an angle shooter.
Casinos are split on whether or not forward motion constitutes a bet/call.
Brunson called of his own volition.
The edited video was done poorly and made the situation look more dramatic than it actually was.
