King of Vegas - Matusow eliminated in texas holdem

[restrikt]

Evelyn Ng played terrible tonight... going all in with second pair, after a bet by a tight amateur? That was terrible... and she sucked out on Matusow big time in the heads up sudden death match.

Matusow was playing great until going in with 86o and goign up against Evelyn's KK. Why was Matusow moving in so much pre-flop, when he can easily outplay Evelyn post flop?

Megatilt, bro, megatilt. You could almost hear the fuses in his brain start blowing after that J9 v. Q9 suckout. LOL at him crying (wtf?) at the end though.

Thats not chinese poker. Thats pai gow. Chinese poker is a completly different game.

Pai gow is as much a crapshoot as any other house game.

Horse Racing??!? wtf.

And was it a mistake in Pai Gow to play 99 up front and trips aces with a joker in the back? Wouldn't the better move to play the Aces up front for the best front hand and the trip nines in back?

In Pai Gow, the joker can only be used as an ace, or the fifth card of a straight, flush or straight flush. So s/he (haven't watched it yet) couldn't have played trip nines in back.

It is like the bug in 5 card draw of years past.
