I would add it to his selection but I can't edit the poll. Just read it like :

Techno goes deep into final table and says 'supbro' after he busts

Re: Poll: Best moments of WSOP PPV telecast
 

I liked Gordon saying Doyle was 79, then Doyle corrected him, saying he was only 73. If I wasn't positive how old DB is, I'm not bringing it up you jackass.

If you were paying attention to the Scotty Phil rock paper scissors match Scotty threw really late. There was a high likely hood that he cheated. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Re: Poll: Best moments of WSOP PPV telecast
 

how about gordon telling the other announcer that nobody wanted to hear his bad beat story.

or scotty win drunk as a [censored] skunk and stuttering his face off.

or mattusow saying what hed do with the 12 mill, head down to the bellagio and bump up the stakes to 10k 20k

That delay was just because he was drunk, he wasn't cheating.

Drunken Scotty "he... he just have too many chip"

Re: Poll: Best moments of WSOP PPV telecast
 

Am I the only one not too impressed with AC's call with A high? Anybody who plays a lot of short-handed poker learns to make A-high calls -- especially on boards like that. Clearly it was a good call, but it wasn't insane.

I hear ya. It's still an impressive call, given the stakes (note how in 14 hours of coverage you didn't see any other calls quite like this), but I can't put it in the same class as that unbelievable bluff with KQ.

The insane thing was that he just called with A high knowing it was good. A-high calls are rare for pots like that. Normally youd throw in a raise if you knew he was weak, because even if hes bluffing with a small piece you are beat.

Re: Poll: Best moments of WSOP PPV telecast
 

How about Gordon asking Scotty why no beer in hand and Scotty saying ESPN took it away from him just before he got on camera?

Re: Poll: Best moments of WSOP PPV telecast
 

Hellmuth saying that Gold calls raises with hands like Q6 and the flop comes Q6K and he wins a big pot against someone with KQ.

Yeahhhhh.....wasupwidat?!?

Scotty rules. That coverage needed far more lushes.

Re: Poll: Best moments of WSOP PPV telecast
 

the whole final table was pretty entertaining. Unfortunately I sat down after Tech's shoutout, but the highlights for me were:

1) Matusow "are you kidding, I'd play higher"

2) Wasicka showing the pure bluff

3) no one figuring out that JG was telling them what he had every hand

4) Lee calling off his whole stack with JJ

Re: Poll: Best moments of WSOP PPV telecast
 

Also funny, when Matusow claimed to be up 400k for the last 3 days online.

I would have to say its The Mouth smoking crack during the PPV anyone else hear that?

i thought it was really funny when Phil was explaining how it's one two shoot, not one two three shoot, because that European way is ridiculious.

No way buddy. Sometimes you just know A-high is good. Raising often just makes things worse. You're either:

1) right, and he has nothing, so it's pointless
2) right, he has nothing, so he decides to re-raise, and you're finished.
3) wrong, he calls, and you lose more.

The 2M bet was just the right size for being a bluff. He either had a pair or he didn't. AC called him down. Nice hand, fine.

yah, Matusow starting a 10K/20K game @Bellagio if he won 1st
also, everyone, including Cunningham showing their hands
Jamie Gold giving obvious tells

In was thinking the same - a paired board against a loose player - not an unreal call.

Re: Poll: Best moments of WSOP PPV telecast
 

in no particular order:
1). The cunningham A high call
2). the wasicka bluff
3). was i the only one that thought that oppenheim and grey were going out of their way not to call some of the players donkeys ("KQ is like nothing." "maybe hes been playing for a while and looks down at KQ and thinks its a big hand"...)
4). phil hellmuth refusing to give reads as to waht players have on a certain hand.
5). scotty nguyen saying cunningham would win. and then pwning pg in roshambo.
6). Losing 100BB's with JJ.
7). The class of all the players with all that money on the line.
8). Jen Harman saying she was sick for allen after he got knocked out. I love it how all the best players care so much for each other.
9). Ali telling Phil Hellmuth that Thomas Keller was waiting for him in the 1k-2k HUHE room on UB.net.
10). Wasicka sporadically playing like a world champion.

Re: Poll: Best moments of WSOP PPV telecast
 

Speaking of that, am I the only one not as impressed with Wasicka's "sick" bluff? I mean it's a good bluff, but it would have been amazing to me if it got Allen to fold an Ace. The board was AAJ9 with three hearts, and Allen just had TT with the Th. There isn't a whole lot Allen can beat there BUT a bluff.

I'm not a Moneymaker fan, nor do I think his was the "bluff of the century," but at least that one got Sammy to lay down top pair on a rainbow board. Allen had to fear a flush, an ace, and a jack.

I applaud Wasicka's read that Allen was weak, but those are what every good pro bluff is about. The only thing exceptional about this was were the stakes. As a poker play, I think it's not amazing.

Yeah, I have to differ with you. 3-betting all your chips with air, against a world-class pro, impresses the crap out of me.

The thing about the bluff is that it's amazing because it worked. So many things had to fall into place. If he busted on that play, we'd all be laughing about how he was a donkey.

Granted, when he turned that over, I was stunned. I also put AC on having a beast of a hand, so I was way off for the entire hand.

Upon further though, I see why Paul made that bluff. If AC has a boat, he's not going to raise there. If he has the trips, I also think he realy might not raise there. There's some chance AC has a low flush there. The only real hand that's raising there is a J, and Paul didn't think AC could call with a J.

Turns out that AC didn't even have a J. He just had two Ts.

So, don't get me wrong, I applaud the bluff and think it was great. I think it was better than AC's call with A-high, by far. But it's not the best bluff that I've ever seen.

Re: Poll: Best moments of WSOP PPV telecast
 

By the way, it's kinda weird how so many people who love AC's A-high call and Paul's bluff basically seem to come from the school of "I never call a river bet with no pair" and "I never re-raise with nothing."

I mean, those were nice plays, no doubt about it. But that's what winning poker players do. They make plays like that. If you're never willing to call a river bet with no pair, how can you win?

Sick calls of legends are those like Stuey made with 9-high. When you call with 9-high because you really think you're good, then you're the boss.
