Re: High Stakes Poker thread (9/17)
^Agreed about Baxter, he seemed to know what he was doing, somewhat, until that hand.
lol txbarbaroosa. I think it was Benyamine that let on that Sammy won something like $15 million in six months playing poker. He's considered a very good Omaha player, I guess that is where he makes his money.

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (9/17)
I like the hand where Baxter lost $100k. They zoom in on his face right after it happened, and you can almost hear him say, "Dammit, guess I'll have to stay at the office an extra 15 minutes tomorrow to make up that loss."

Daniel was on the WSOP Players Committee. If he did his job he could have prevented that stupid "show one, show both" rule. And after all this time he still thinks it's a TDA rule, when it's a WSOP rule. I guess he never read either rulebook. So why is he on the Players Committee, when there are so many other players out there who make an effort to improve the poker world? Danny can't even be bothered to read his emails from the WSOP.

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (9/17)
Farha reminds me of this crazy fish that comes to my home game. The guy is always raising and calling with every draw. But the guy almost always leaves busto.
The difference I guess is farha is throwing around chips with 3 to 4 zeros on them I guess. He ran sick good in season 1. Now the cards are breaking even.

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (9/17)
Why the hell is phil taking insurance, will a 100k loss really hurt him that much???
Also the guys giving him insurance (Elezra here but Ivey on the WSOP) are giving him super bad prices, they are making soooooooo much EV off him

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (9/17)
I'd say the difference between Farha and the guy at your table is that Farha is a really good reader.
Everyone remembers him getting lucky in HSP 1, what they seem to be forgetting are all the amazing bluffs he made when his opponents bet into him and weren't strong. He won a bunch of $15k pots that way.
