Sorry but I personally hate Silent Mike ... I don't think he is making any real analysis just deciding on random gut feelings and has gotten lucky a few times. [/ QUOTE ] You're wrong.

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 ] I'm pretty sure this is the impression she wants people to have of her. She clearly plays much tighter on TV than in her regular games, in which she has a lot of fold equity from oblivious people who think "she's tight, she must have me" and muck. If you listen to Todd Brunson and Barry Greenstein, they'll tell you something different about how much of a rock she actually is.

She [censored] destroyed him hand after hand.. She wasnt mother that time i think it changed her in certain ways, but she is still much better then most nits and very capable of making moves without a hand.

I believe her when she says she hasn't been dealt anything playable. Season 2 was enough to convince me she can flip the switch if she wants to.
Can you blame her for trying to play straightforward at a table with Farha and Elezera?

[ QUOTE ]
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. [/ QUOTE ] You are way off here. Silent Mike is a good poker player. Put up ~$500,000 and play him. Take down that uber-fish. LOLZ.

Next time Hellmuth wants to stop the game to ask for insurance, he should be kicked in the nads. [/ QUOTE ] Could be worse - it could be a WSOP final table, and you on a short stack with the clock running. I still can't believe no one complained about it at the time.

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (9/24) (Spoilers in Thread to come?)
Jennifer Harman needs one beer to get going. Somebody supply the drinks or get her out of that seat.
And Sammy Farha has NOT gotten better at NLHE since season one. His NLHE game is super weak. More and more I feel like people I play with at $2/4 NL can absolutely smoke this game.
