Clearly Ivey does not like to be interviewed. Among the top pros he has the lease amount of exposure.

Dude, Chip Reese has been at a TV featured table twice in...forever (2004 ToC, 2006 HORSE).

[/ QUOTE ]

Chip was at a WPT final table a few years ago, I just can't remember which season - probably season 2.

[/ QUOTE ]

Chip was in season 2, WPO from Tunica, he was eliminated the same hand as the "car wash" guy, James Tippin.

[/ QUOTE ]
Reese also was on the original Poker Superstars Invitational, so he was on tv every week for a couple of months there. People who are watching this know he is.

So, let me get this straight:

Watching limit poker is boring, but watching a bunch of people fiddle with their chips, staring at each other for hours on end isn't?

Sigh.

Neither are, so it's not straight.

all,

re: dewey tomko.

A chapter in Rick Reilly's book "Who's Your Caddy" is dedicated to Reilly caddying for Tomko. It's a good chapter.

Most disappointing HORSE coverage ever. Who cares about another NL HE all-in donkfest show? "I have two sevens, ohh..you got two tens...nice hand".

If they call it HORSE they should show HORSE!

It ain't like there aren't any other opportunities to see NLHE final tables on TV, is it?

I thought one of the all-time great final tables was the unaired ESPN coverage of the lowball table a couple years back (the one that you could watch online).

We've known for 4 Months that the final table was going to be NL only. Obviously that isn't long enough for some of you to get over it.

I was sick and missed the final 15 minutes- how did Andy blow the lead? More crazy suckouts as we saw for both players near the end?

[/ QUOTE ]

There seemed to be some questionable, in my mind, pushes 50bb deep followed by calls...

One thing that I've never seen resolve... what is it about Andy Bloch that everybody wants to say his full name all the time? I mean it is kind of fun to say... "Andy Bloch raises". "Andy Bloch is all in". "Andy Bloch folds..."

Has anyone offered an explanation for this?

Isn't 8 or better and hi/lo interchangeable?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, usually. But sometimes they'll play "Stud Hi/Lo Regular" as part of a mixed game lineup (Ivey or Negreanu talked about this on the Circuit a while back as being played in the Big Game). "Regular" just means there's no 8-or-better qualifier for the low hand, but it's still a Stud format hi/lo split game.
