Poker After Dark thread (week of 11/5 - Of Mouth and Men)
 

This week brings a new week of shows with 4 returning PAD players and 2 newcomers. This week's lineup consists of:

Paul Wasicka
Alan Boston
Mike Sexton
Mike Matusow
Jamie Gold
Antonio Esfandiari

I'm sure there'll be lots of quality poker out of that lineup, along with the usual amount of banter that the casual poker fans can enjoy.

Edited to remove my poor copying skills.

Jamie Gold = super-donk

btw no Hellmuth

Re: Poker After Dark thread (week of 11/5 - Of Mouth and Men)
 

Wasicka pwns. What is with Mike touching someone after every freaking hand?

(Oh, and [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] the bartender.)

Re: Poker After Dark thread (week of 11/5 - Of Mouth and Men)
 

Mike has officially become unwatchable.

Re: Poker After Dark thread (week of 11/5 - Of Mouth and Men)
 

drinking game: everytime mike matusow tries to high-five someone.. take a sip.. drunk in 10 minutes

Re: Poker After Dark thread (week of 11/5 - Of Mouth and Men)
 

I enjoyed that hand where they each showed one card then saw the flop.

Re: Poker After Dark thread (week of 11/5 - Of Mouth and Men)
 

I hope that's "Boston"s lucky hat, because it's freaking disgusting. Ever seen a guy more uncomfortable on TV and/or playing with celebrities?

Re: Poker After Dark thread (week of 11/5 - Of Mouth and Men)
 

and/or playing with celebrities

LOL @ calling those guys celebrities.... they are poker players and some (Antonio, MIke and Gold) think they are celebrities but they are not celebrities.

Re: Poker After Dark thread (week of 11/5 - Of Mouth and Men)
 

Really? What makes a person a celebrity? Isn't being instantly recognizable and being on TV often and having people know your name being a celebrity?

Re: Poker After Dark thread (week of 11/5 - Of Mouth and Men)
 

alan boston looks like a psychopath with his wide open eyes

Re: Poker After Dark thread (week of 11/5 - Of Mouth and Men)
 

I hate watching Gold and Matusow. Wasicka and Sexton are bores so I'll pass this week. And who the hell is this Boston person?

Re: Poker After Dark thread (week of 11/5 - Of Mouth and Men)
 

alan boston is a very respected stud specialist, as well as a very successfull sports gambler, specializing in college basketball. He is also an FTP pro (in RED)

They may be celebrities within the poker world but the poker world is a very small group despite what you may think. They are not "main stream" celebrities and in regard to your original statement - I am sure he has played with nearly everyone if not everyone at the table so the fact they are "poker celebrities" should have no bearing. I agree that he might be a little nervous in front of the cameras though.

i dont think he's nervous, doesn't sound nervous. definitely has some screws loose though. catch the comment about his psychiatrist being named Gold also? he ratted himself out.

and i wouldn't call any of them celebrities. only people who watch poker would know who some of them are.

Re: Poker After Dark thread (week of 11/5 - Of Mouth and Men)
 

I really like Mike Sexton. He is a classy guy. He was pissed when he made a mistake and payed off that value bet. Love the comments he makes during the game. He cracks me up.
"you're not made for tv poker" - i loled
Uncool other players giving him [censored] about the blind structure of wpt. Assine to put him on a spot like that.
Will be a great week once that Boston guy goes home.

anyone else think natalie is really hot? i think they should make her walk around topless as a ratings boost

Re: Poker After Dark thread (week of 11/5 - Of Mouth and Men)
 

anyone have a link to last nights episode so i can watch it?

Re: Poker After Dark thread (week of 11/5 - Of Mouth and Men)
 

If it's on YouTube, I'll find it.

Re: Poker After Dark thread (week of 11/5 - Of Mouth and Men)

I think roughly 100% of the people on 2+2 would agree with this...just a guess, though.

Re: Poker After Dark thread (week of 11/5 - Of Mouth and Men)
 

Alan has ADHD which is why he seems jittery/crazy/uncomfortable.

He makes good TV imo, i mean at least the guys has charisma.

The best way for me to sum up this week:

3 players I love to watch, Antonio, Wasicka and Sexton.
3 players I hate to watch, Matusow, Gold and "Boston".

Re: Poker After Dark thread (week of 11/5 - Of Mouth and Men)
 

it may have been obvious considering Gold basically never reraises preflop, but i was very impressed with Antonio's firm read on gold. Being a Gold hater it made it a lot more enjoyable to see him try to talk and then having Antonio repeatedly put him in his place.

"No, you have kings"

Re: Poker After Dark thread (week of 11/5 - Of Mouth and Men)
 

That weeeeeee thing Antonio does sounds so douchey.

Re: Poker After Dark thread (week of 11/5 - Of Mouth and Men)
 

Alan blows ass at poker. So, so weak-tight.

Re: Poker After Dark thread (week of 11/5 - Of Mouth and Men)
 

this boston guy has killed at least 3 people..

haha!

this guy's a psycho. any louder and he would have been screaming at gold. someone earlier in this thread predicted he was going to blow. we almost saw it

Re: Poker After Dark thread (week of 11/5 - Of Mouth and Men)
 

This guy needs to turn the volume down. This reminds me why playing live poker sucks

Re: Poker After Dark thread (week of 11/5 - Of Mouth and Men)
 

I seriously can't listen to him. How much coke did he blow on his last bathroom break?

It was a ridiculous hand. More proof of just how great Antonio's reads are. Daniel gets all the credit for making great reads, but Antonio is right up there with him. Not to put a dollar more in the pot after that flop is insane.

Re: Poker After Dark thread (week of 11/5 - Of Mouth and Men)
 

Has anyone noticed that for someone who wants to be the "best bluffer ever", Jamie Gold is HORRIBLE at picking spots to make moves? He throws away like 1/4 of his stack trying to get Matusow off TPGK, then is on auto-check/fold whenever Boston cont. bets. I don't get it.

drugs r bad

Re: Poker After Dark thread (week of 11/5 - Of Mouth and Men)
 

Alan Boston annoying checklist:

- Bitching at the waitress for messing up his drink order
- Complaining because he isn't getting any cards, can't flop a pair, etc
- Yelling instead of speaking
- "I'm not a poker player, I'm not a poker player, I'm not a poker player"...
- Signing up for a NLHE tourny and then complaining when a guy moves all-in
- Complaining about the pocket cams
- Trying to be funny, when he is not

All of this in two episodes. Great for TV, no doubt!

Yeah his bitching about Jamie going all in not being "real poker" was out of line. Jamie protected his hand and there really was only one move at that point with Jamie's stack and the chips in the pot. Dbagish.

Yes, very hot. They should keep her and/or Shana on screen much more.
