I don't understand, I think I just saw Sammy fold A2 on a K53 board [/ QUOTE ] bottom pair on the turn too, would have committed him |

It was really fun watching him talk himself into the queen high call too

I can't stand the Sammy show, it slows the game to a grinding halt.
What was that in next weeks previews about him capping it at 100k? I thought they only did that in the big game. |

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (9/24) (Spoilers in Thread to come?)
Sorry but I personally hate Silent Mike. He's only made one good play calling Phil's bluff with 3rd pair or whatever. Besides that he has made some "good" calls with top pair etc but I honestly believe that he would call in these spots just as often when he's beat. I don't think he is making any real analysis just deciding on random gut feelings and has gotten lucky a few times. I would not be suprised if he sticks around for a few more games/seasons that he will overall be making some bad plays, and equally bad calls to his "good" calls with top pair no kicker.
Anybody else want to comment on him or someone else, instead of talking about the commonly already way redudant talk about Eli and Farha, and of course Jamie Gold. |

That show was painful to watch for sammy. How much does Sammy have behind him these days after losing $2 mil to aba, his Bellagio high stakes BJ addiction and now HSP? Pretty freaking sick.
Next week's show looks great. It seems to me that Negreanu tangles with Harman once again. Harman is like one of those uber nits at my tables with 10/5/3 stats, if she bets, just get out of the way. |

[/ QUOTE ] Two version: 1) He has income outside poker (real estate) 2) He destroys big PLO games. I don't think losing a couple million (he didn't lose that much against aba) does much to his BR. |

Sammy said it himself that he wasn't playing with his money.
I wonder if his backers appreciate him donking off 2-3 buyins with by far the worst of it each time. |
