Re: What A Horrible Final Table!!
Yeah, pretty dull. It beat watching Jamie Gold for two hours but that's about it. Kravchenko should have won it and all you can say about his play is that it was, at best, fairly solid.

Re: WSOP on ESPN Thread (9/11 - Day 3)
Well, I guess we now know who seized the WSOP douchebag of the year award. Usually a highly competitive race but Hevad Khan simply ran away with it. He's the kind of online pro that makes the...

Re: WSOP E Real Bracelet or Not?
Yeah, sure, why the hell not? It was a big tourney run with WSOP structure and name attached. No single bracelet means [censored] anyhow. If you win several of them, either here in the states or...

Re: The money or the title?
Yeah, that always strikes me as stupid. Mostly a vanity thing, although some here are trying to approach it from a practical standpoint. Unless you're someone like Phil Helmuth though, winning a...

Re: Frustrated Poker Players on ESPN
Honestly, Hachem has become kind of a douche at the table (on TV anyhow). Gold always was one. Moneymaker, I think, embarrassed himself with that really lame act he put on when trying to get some...

Re: Prahlad/Lisandro clash
Alternately--and about as likely to happen--they should just let people pound guys like Prahlad into the ground when they're being dicks. I may have even taped the episode if I got to see Lisandro...

Re: Daniel N. couldn\'t beat a $1-$2 game!
I, for one, believe it.
Seriously though Daniel (assuming you really are), these forums are populated by lot of mean children, emotionally if not literally. They've run off the majority of...

Re: PHIL GORDON!!!!!!!!!!
He's definitely way over-rated and absolutely full of himself. Still, he is reputedly a decent guy IRL and has had some success (WSOP final tables & WPT wins) to back it up. He's really not...

Re: UIGEA Fallout Continues! Doyles Room: R.I.P.

Average number of players online was usually about 2500 in my experience, 4-5000 at peak hours on weekends. Doyle pretty much only played the Bounty Tournament, which was...

Re: Fantasy HSP Table
I don't know if I have a fantasy table. Just some recognizable players and interesting play are usually enough for me. Still, if I had to pick, I'd say:
Doyle Brunson
Amarillo Slim

Mostly I guess it just brought nothing new to the table. Typical tournament stuff but with a smaller prize pool and hosts so irritating you were tempted to mute the program. Not only was their...

Re: Cash Poker
I agree that this isn't really too bad. There's not the same caliber of players at the table, and thus not the same level of table talk, but I don't mind seeing good pros (Doyle, Todd, Greenstein,...
