lol at the swedish guy calling out RainKhan ,i hope rainkhan knocks him out and dances all over his face ...

[/ QUOTE ]Can't you just act normal? That was great, finally someone says something to that immature toad Khan.

These loud obnoxious douches are really making Americans look bad.

[/ QUOTE ]

Eh, whatever. I think we've seen plenty of loud obnoxious douches from England, Costa Rica, Sweden, Australia... everywhere, man.

I think rainkhan's bulldozer/monkey dance schtick is moronic. I really don't care if someone wants to be a moron, but it shows a complete lack of class and consideration for the opponent.

On the other hand, on the QQ hand last week, rainkhan took a lot of flack for his asking his opponent if he played his hand well after the big suckout. I actually thought rainkhan was being sincerely humble here, and fully realized how lucky he was.

Thoughts:

2p2er J_V briefly on the broadcast laying down 98s to re-raise.

Dario is cute in the way puppies and babies are cute. I want a stuffed Dario doll.

SHIP SHIP MCGIPP!!!

Norm's been great this year.

Kahn is more annoying than I expected.

Everybody pleaes remember that Maria Ho is mine.

The doll needs to say "raise all in" in a 10 year old's voice.
I also enjoy Norman Chad's commentary, so what if he makes mistakes on analysis once in a while. I am not watching to learn to play poker...

His style only works when eventually you get a hand better than bottom pair and you get paid off huge. :\

I think he's playing well and I'm sure they're only showing hands where he gets called.

[/ QUOTE ]I don't really like Dario (or playing against him), but I do like to watch him play. Who didn't see that woman was going to CS off her stack after calling down with K9? I like how espn "told the story" of his play and made it look like the way to beat him is check calling every street.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think by the time he had gotten his stack, word out on Dario was that he was a bluffing maniac. Calling down with K9 on a QQ9xx board is utterly standard. Why on earth would he bluff with 3rd pair there? Did he really think he could fold out a 9?

[/ QUOTE ]Standard, really? I don't think it was THAT bad, but I'd certainly call it weak. Do these people not know where the raise button is? Is calling off your stack with OMG an overpair on a 3457 board also standard?

I think I like Scotty more and more everytime I see him.

I'm sure he's very good, and very possibly better than Blair (don't know)...but give the woman some credit.

[/ QUOTE ]

After all, she is the women's champion of Arizona.

[/ QUOTE ]
I muted my TV every time Kahn or Humberto appeared on the screen.

fixed again

[/ QUOTE ]

I think it gets [censored] up when they do that sportsticker at the bottom of the screen, and it doesn't get fixed until a commercial.. half the first show was like that.. SO annoying

I dvr-ed the show on HD and I didn't notice any card issues. Were you folks with them not watching in HD?
