Re: Phil Gordon is a Horse\'s Ass
Gordon is not a strong player and his analysis is painful to listen to. He is a wealthy amateur who had some success at donkaments when they were smaller fields. He is also a a pretty good talker.
Gordon and Helmuth were criticizing the reraise allin with AQo by Rainkahn against the loose chip leader, which was absolutely an automatic play. Also, the reraise allin and call blind versus blind by Yang and Watkinson were standard. Gordon goes on about how limping is bad.
Yang is obviously not a polished player, but amateurs with an aggressive style have won about half the time lately, for example, Gold, Moneymaker, Varkonyi, and Furlong.
