I would say it's less of an angle shoot and more the fact that Prahlad is like really weird and umm... vigilant with his feelings about poker ethics. Find some of his posts on here.

What do his poker ethics say about calling another player a thief, and then saying flat out a couple times, "I don't trust you, sir?"

I don't think he's as good at reading as he seems to think he is.

The answer to this is probably "yes".

Again, if you've ever sweated him online, so much of what we saw is like way standard for him.

I was surprised that Lisandro let him get away with it twice. I thought the second time looked like such an obvious bluff.

[/ QUOTE ]

It was obvious because you saw his hand. If Lisandro had paid him off with 4th pair there, that would have been even more tilty and embarassing than being bluffed.


[ QUOTE ]
Of course, ESPN may have edited this little sequence out of several hours worth of play.

[/ QUOTE ]

They were close. The first two hands- Lisandro's bluff with 44 and Prahlad's subsequent bluff- happened back to back. The next bluff I think was just one orbit later.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm also fairly convinced Friedman was shooting an angle on Lisandro with that ante crap in effort to tilt him. This was probably meant as more fuel to the fire.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ya think? And what Prahlad did wasn't angle shooting. It was just being a douche.

End result: He picked up a couple of decent sized pots and also probably detered Lisandro from making further such plays.

Good poker in my book.

Not sure when my book is coming out though

Good poker, and its in his style.

On the first re-raise, you could tell Lisandro was uncomfortable by the whole thing. The reaction and his facial expression after the flop was noticeable.

I haven't watched him in a long time but it used to be Spirit Rock on UB. He's who Phil Gordon is referring to as BOW (Big Online Winner) in his book.

He's also known for his freestyle rapping.
