This episode sucked. If I want to watch people play any 2 for any pre-flop raise I can go to Commerce and see 150 tables of it. I thought Phil was in a tough spot with the nines against Sammys AK even given how many hands Sammy plays. This looked like a genuine read and Phil seemed really nervous when he moved in. I try to not hate Jamie Gold but calling a clock when there is over 200,000 in the middle is a prick thing to do.

I like how you could see a little of the dark side of poker when Sammy is obviously getting angry more because he is losing than because of the sweaters doing whatever they were doing behind him. The fact of the matter is that most degenerate gamblers are jerks and even more so when they are losing. I dont think for a second that Sammy is playing somebody elses money. I think it is a joke when Sammy implies that he is being staked. I think he is smart enough to know it is a joke because he is obviously pissing his money away this episode.

fwiw
