Oh yah and the fact that he says calling with 99 there is a tough decision is pretty funny.

Could he pick a more boring decision to berate?

haha I was at this table. It was the funniest thing to see Sebok just sit there all whinny after losing the flip.

Obviously both plays are very standard.

Ya it was pretty funny. Like one orbit later he looks over at me, still really pissed off, and says something like "You're that Haxton guy, right?" I said "Yah, you're that Sebok guy right?" He did not get less pissed.

Sebok has a tendency to berate plays he doesn't fully understand for a variety of reasons.

Can anyone shed some light on how well Sebok actually plays overall?

Meh, I really enjoy his radio show. I don't really listen for the poker strategy content though. He is a pretty funny guy.

Can we divide this by how many tournaments he's played/how much he's spent on buyins?

Seems like he's nitted his way (barely) into the money a few WSOP events thus far. I'm not terribly impressed since I imagine he's played close to 20 events (just a guess, but why wouldn't he have?)

5 of 20 cashes not impressive? And gotten really unlucky in a couple of them super deep? LOL.

5 out of 20 WSOP cashes on it's own merits is most certainly not "terribly impressive" (note the modifier "terribly"). Do you disagree? A lot of "cashes" involve a little more than getting your buy-in back. I'd need more information before giving Sebok any credit for being a solid tourney player.

I'd also still like someone to give a rough guess as to his total tourney buy-ins over the last few years. He's probably (heck, almost certainly) a winning player, but I doubt he would even be worth talking about if he didn't have a famous papa.

Take a closer look at his results, Joe is quite successful and accomplished in tournaments. You might not like the way he handled or interpreted these hands vs Ike, but suggesting he's not a winning tournament player is ridiculous.

Edited to add: He'd be at least as famous as Jared Hamby, with or without the Greenstein connection.
