a) wtf at Helmuth's table coaching. Just type "nh" and let the donkey enjoy himself.
b) wtf at Laak folding a monster draw on turn in position with enough behind for 2/3 pot bet.
c) wtf at the Matusow call with 44
d) the two Matusow shoves were either genius or madman. I cannot figure out which one.
e) wtf at Brandon not raising trips there at the obvious blocking bet.

He did the same earlier in the game (shown last week) so that us that he has studied Antonio E and he has the money to not care about losing an extra bet.

1. You are all correct about Brandon. He sucks. No need to waste more space on him.

2. Can't wait for when the big boys come money wise (500k buyin)...that will dominate this season.

3. I actually like Laak and Esfandiari.

4. About the Hellmuth hand vs Brandon. Why are people making fun of Hellmuth? His weird play worked. Harp on Brandon.

5. These people are not good at NL holdem and its becoming more and more apparent. Esfandiari impresses me. Todd Brunson is not a superstar NL player, the 2 new guys are mediocre/bad, Hellmuth is still a tournament player no matter how he does at this table, Matusow loses money for a reason, Laak is uber nitty like we already know from seasons 2 and 3, Voulgaris (???), I want to know more about big Har. maybe he's okay.

At least Hellmuth got Todd Brunson to crack up.

Esfandiari was a riot.

Probanly the best HSP episode yet.

Obv knew Hellmuth couldn't call a raise and wanted to see his cards. Expert play.
