Here's a guy that IMO plays Ok, no problem with that. He has claimed that he 'doesn't want to carry the responsibility of World Champion' essentially it's too much trouble...(but would like the money..) that's in print and on video.

[/ QUOTE ]

The thought he seemed to be expressing is that interview was that he didn't want the fame, he's a behind the scenes kind of guy. And second, he has a career that he doesn't intend to leave and didn't know what kind of ambassador he would be.

That whole interview has been blown out of reasonable proportion. I think it was just a guy talking off the cuff who hasn't slept much and has been playing high intensity poker for days and is faced with the real possibility he might win.

I thought he was disrespectful to Allen (among others') when he knocked him out (with the worst hand).

[/ QUOTE ]

Disrespectful how? His table talk and how he told each opponent what sort of hand he was holding? YOu hold a high standard.

The worst hand? TT vs KJ is a close coin flip. More often he had his opponents dominated.
[ QUOTE ]

He CONTINUES to get Chan's opinions DURING THE GAME (one player to a hand?)

[/ QUOTE ]

Now you're just showing your ignorance of poker rules.

[ QUOTE ]

I question his ettiquete, table talk goes too far IMO.

[/ QUOTE ]

Matter of opinion. Certainly far less than Mike M and some others. More than most pros would do. I found it entertaining.
[ QUOTE ]

The deck has hit this guy who appears from that couldn't carry the lunch of most pros IMHO.

[/ QUOTE ]

The deck did hit him hard, but I don't hold that against him. He's not a pro, so I don't think it should be expected that he rank among the best. However, every single pro was very complimentry of his play when they were talking to Phil and Ali.I think he played outstanding big stack poker.
[ QUOTE ]

He acts IMO like he's God's gift. Sorry but this guy currently disgusts me and I'm sad that he apparently will represent the 'World Champion' for a game that most of us love.

[/ QUOTE ]

Did you see his post game interview? If not, hopefully it's around somewhere, it certainly changed my mind of him. I really had no feelings one way or the other except amusement at all the hate. After watching the interview I think he's a pretty good guy.

[ QUOTE ]

What a joke. My opinion, sorry if I offend anyone, it's not intentional. Turned out to be one of the weakest final tables in recent years IMHO.

[/ QUOTE ]

It was weak. I look forward to seeing the hole cards, it's hard to believe the other players played so weak unless they were being dealt trash every hand.
