the standard in this game is dreadful, maybe now people will understand how jman wasn't being arrogant when he said it was such a soft game

he played those queens almost as good as this
set of 7s . he really bet that flop well. the check on the turn. masterful. folding the best hand.. priceless.

You keep going back to this same QQ hand where he made a questionable but certainly not terrible fold against Sammy. Now you're attacking him over a hand that he played well but happened to be wrong. Stop acting so results oriented, making the right play and being rewarded adversely happens all the time, and precisely why poker is such a profitable game.
In the 77 hand, it was 8 ways to the flop in an unraised pot. Given the action, what exactly is Phil beating there? Only the exact kind of hand he had, a pair turning itself into a bluff. That's extremely rare and Phil will have made the correct fold 80% of the time or more there. The only mistake Phil made was underbetting the flop, but I'm sure he was trying to induce a raise or had other reasons for it.
The reason people bash on Jamie is because he acts like a complete d-bag and is a disgrace to the game, plus he really sucks at poker and makes about 5 mistakes in every hand he plays, and he plays every hand.
Furthermore, Phil is 10 times the player you are, so criticizing him like you are is just laughable.
