Any Questions??

I was watching the bodog tourny in Costa Rica last weekend, and thought you played really well. I thought it was kinda funny you had it out for the grinder. You pwned him.

Anyway, I wanted to ask you about the j5 hand I believe it was when you were in the BB in a multiway pot. I believe you check/called the flop, bet out the turn, and checked the river. Was just wondering if you were upset that you didn't value bet the river given the grinder's hand (aj, IIRC)? I think the river might have made a str8 but don't remember the exact cards, just that u flopped 2 pr. against his TPTK. I thought it was funny he said he knew what you had when you checked the river, KJ or something.

Also, you were very talkative during that hand and throughout the event as well. Whenever I play live I hardly talk at all except between hands and such. Do you feel this helps your game in a significant way? b/c I think it did during that hand and overall giving you a somewhat loose image. How do you use this to your benefit and do you generally try to tilt players w/ your table talk or are you just being personable?

Thanks
