PHIL GORDON!!!!!!!!!!

[MoolahMuerte]

No one here is pushing half ass poker books or posing as a professional commentator trying to cash in as an expert in something which they clearly are not. Phil Gordon is doing this - so he is a douche. He may be a nice guy and everything - but he's just another instance of those who can't do teach/commentate. I like Gabe - not because he is supposedly an expert - but because he is a PRO in front of the camera and hilarious.

Gordon's recent tourney results do not compare to his peers - Grinder, Negreanu, Ivey, Cunningham, Lindgren. Its not even close - and i don't know of anyone that seriously considers him a great tourney player. Finishing at the final table of the ME is a good accomplishment - but what about Varkoniy and Moneymaker - are you going to buy their books or consider them experts?

I don't know if he plays high stakes cash games - but I don't recall anyone claiming he is a great cash game guy like greenstein, ivey, reese, brunson, forrest etc.

And as far as i know, he doesn't crush online - he's no sbrugby, luigi (patrik antonius) or any of the others.

All i can go by is what i've seen, and his recent performances show that he's just not on the level of those that are supposedly his peers.
