Default Re: TV Effect

IMHO, Phil didin't call due to camera's presence...if this were in Bobby's room, he would have called it after 10 seconds...has everyone forgotten how he cleaned Andy Beal last summer at the Wynn for $14.5 million? the biggest win that The Corporation has ever had against the Texas banker?...he is the most fearless player and the best cash game player (perhaps with teh exception of Chip Reese)...butIMHO he didin't call the idiotic raise of Yukon because he didin't want to be embarrased on TV if Yukon flipped over AA...obviously BY most likely didn't have a set or straight as he probably would have slow played those, despite the flush draw on the board...for a guy that probably wipes his butt with money ( as previous posts, LOL), 300k bet on that board and holding KK is an easy call and he would have done it with his eyes closed, sans cameras presence...witness his $586k win in chinese poker against Helmuth a few days ago...

I'm pretty sure all this speculation about what Phil would have done had there been no cameras or in Bobby's room or whatever is all nonsense. These guys didn't get to where they are today by caring what we think of their play...I guarantee he plays that hand the same way again there, in Bobby's room, or on the moon. He had a read and/or a logical thought process of what could happen and he went with it...
