I don't necessarily think Brian is out of his league in live poker. For one I think the general public saw him play like six hands on HSP. Not a great foundation to base an argument on. He got a little crazy by re raising with suited connectors and it might have worked if the other two people didn't flop monsters. Hard to comment, all I know from watching him was he was willing to engage in massive pots with way less than the nuts so its just hard to judge. I never understood the hand over the mouth strategy. Players like Negreanu and Harman are going to pick off those bluffs more times than not and spot those tells than not but he showed he was willing to gamble and take risks. Definitely not a live fish.

Chilltown... when my friends ask me about Bobby Baldwin, I just tell them that he plays the man, not the cards. Know what I mean?

I do know what you mean...but in any event, he plays both at the utmost highest level there is in my book.

El D,

What sounds strangest to me is that the Bellagio didn't just open a 2nd table of 500/1k or 1 1/2k and one 500/1k or something like that. Lack of dealers they trust to deal that big? Who knows. I don't see how it's not in the Bellagio's interest to run as many as big games as possible.

I once lost a 10 dollar pot playing 5cent/10cent PLO. I broke my 35 dollar optical mouse. Man was I bummed.

He determined he was going to put his hand over his mouth in every hand...its some kind of strategy. Why are you asking me to explain I'm the one confused by it!

BT gets tricky with 97s on HSP:

- I hadn't seen that before.

Also, Brian Townsend shows fighting spirit:
