i thought he was hilarious. the guy i hate the most so far on these broadcasts is the guy dressed like a high school foot ball coach wearing the ohio state stuff. his celebration after he wins every hand is really obnoxious. kahn just sorta acts like hes some jungle guy with his ooh ahh ooh ahh, that makes me laugh.

Yes, because obviously Hevad handles himself with such a high level of decorum and class. The reeling in the fish motion was completely uncalled for. I can't believe the guy had the nerve to make that motion when up to that point Hevad been the epitome of sportsmanlike behavior.

nice timing on the asian blast. who's up for dragging the lebanese or buhddist monks into the fray now.

kahn went out of his way to do the gorilla hoo-hah dance at times. personally, i enjoyed the 'reeling in the fish' antic tho... only since it was on kahn hisself. table antics are over rated and pointless. gonna have to tune into a chess, bridge or backgammon tourney and see what dances and screams they do.

Re: Hevad Kahn
 

seems like a douche but I think he is just hyper active and is trying to have fun tell u the truth

Re: Hevad Kahn
 

I cant believe I am saying this but I dont mind and actually like his antics. He's got his shpeel and he sticks with it. Better than that screaming swedish guy or twirling jacket guy.

Re: Hevad Kahn
 

I just kept thinking that a giant beer can would come down on him and a voice would come from above saying, "Men should act like men."

All,

Quit being a bunch of women. Khan's celebrations are fun and harmless. If you watch any interview with him he is a pretty funny and smart guy. When you have all stopped crying you should watch them.

Thanks

This is a really dangerous opinion. I'd hope that people would be more interested in how someone acts in general than how they are portrayed on television.

I tend to agree that Hevad was often in pretty poor taste [even if it wasn't intentionally mean-spirited], but if we start considering people's 'television persona' to be more important than who they really are...I fear for the future of our society.

Why is that? He's not being misrepresented on television. He purposely is displaying these antics to millions of people, fully aware that people will base their opinion of him on what they see. If he wanted people to know the "real" Hevad Kahn (assuming it's different), he wouldn't act like a douche on television.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, there's always some level of misrepresentation when people cut / crop / edit / splice film of an event. That said, I'm not trying to argue that Hevad somehow acted like an angel but was represented as a devil. I'm also not trying to argue that Hevad was someone unaware that his antics would be displayed to a huge audience. My main concern was with the 'television persona > who a person actually is' argument. In this case, maybe there *is* a one-to-one correspondence between Hevad's TV persona and who he actually is...but...

...The point is, I don't think any of us can know this...because almost no one in this thread actually knows him. The scary part is that some people seem to think they can make wide-sweeping generalizations about a person's character based upon a few minutes of watching them on television.

I'm much more concerned about this type of thinking when it comes to people drawing conclusions about things that actually matter, however, [like when determining where to place a vote in a presidential election]....or when the world of television becomes more important than reality itself [manifestations of this phenomenon: soap operas, the celebrity culture, etc]

Re: Hevad Kahn
 

I see your point, but there are certain judgments I can make after just seeing a few minutes (or even seconds) of their behavior. If I see someone call my mother a whore, I know that there's not much you can do to convince me that otherwise he's a great guy. If I see someone do some loud, boorish dance after winning a big pot (which of course someone else lost), I know that I respect them less than, say, Barry Greenstein or someone else that shows more respect for their opponents. And I can say that whether or not I know anything else about them.

Yeah, no real disagreement here. Even brief exposure to someone's behavior can give you a pretty good idea of who they are if the behavior they display is dramatic enough. I'm willing to be slightly more forgiving if the person in question is taking part in a high-stress endeavor...but, uh, only slightly. People still have to be responsible for their actions.

Re: Hevad Kahn
 

I think Kahn is just a immature spoiled brat with low social skills. He has no impulse control. When I when a big pot, I may be doing a gorilla dance on the inside, but I try to act like I've been there before. Of course a big pot to me is anything. Him doing it to Humberto is just in my opinion though. That Humberto is a clown. He must be good though cause that act has to put a target on his back.

Ohio state guy is more of a cheerleader type. He was not what I would call a classy player, but I wouldn't say he was a classless jerk either, just too soccer mom like I guess.

Re: Hevad Kahn
 

LOL @ you retards bashing on khan, seriously. What he did is pure spectacular since everyone is talking about him. Fawk who finished 5th in the tourney??? bet 90% of you dont remember his name. If khan finished 200th place i bet more than 50% would still remember him cuz of his antics. He is doing this to get known, hence he will get a sponsorship easier. If khan was a gentlemen like the 99% of the field he wouldnt get exposure.
Why do you think you buy "brand name" goods when no name good sometimes are equally good, because of good marketing.

Re: Hevad Kahn
 

What Khan does CANNOT be the result of true emotion. A true adrenaline rush, sense of satisfaction, relief, or just joy in winning a big pot results in fists in the air, maybe jumping up, a little yell. It's visceral, and it happens right away. Khan feels that first, then he gets up and dances around like a moron in a contrived, attention-seeking manner. And he has the nerve to say that people who don't like his idiocy are "pompous." Scotty Nguyen, Daniel Negreanu, Clonie Gowen, and Phil Gordon all show emotion when winning and losing. I don't necessarily care for any of these people, but they are showing genuine emotion in a human way. They are not lower primates.
