which HSP player so far has suprised you

[sh58]

by this i mean, the amount they are better or worse then you thought they would be.

for me, i'd say Antonio esfandiari. he's a great cash game player. picks his spots really well. knows when to mix it up and when to play solid. he's also a classy guy

highlights: 'i'm out of position againts DN and gus hansen, i fold' with AQ

knows he can pick better spots. if i was playing at that table i'd have to play super tight cos i'd be outplayed on the later streets

Mattusow says whoever wins the next pot with 72 will win some money in a side bet. Antonio reraises with 72, takes the pot and then mucks. (mattusow later does the same and then shows, lol)

Alexi alei (or whatever he's called) looks like a great player, but doesn't qualify cos i didn't know him before and had no preconceived ideas about how he plays.

also doyle was awesome, a little better than i thought he would be, but i thought he'd be great anyway......
