I love the end exchange in the lindgren video. Very entertaining when

Ivey says, "I think i need some cocktails"
Gordon: "order me whatever you are having"
Lindgren: "you prolly already know what he wants"

wtf ya supposed to do when you're in vegas and every day you have 100 people coming up to you to talk or get you to sign something. after a while it has to drive you crazy.

the worst is a bunch of losers who want to shake your hand. yeah like these pros want to touch your filthy paws.

edit: and i think eric lindgren is poker's biggest smart ass

last year at the WSOP my wife brought our little girl down to have dinner with me during a break in one of the early events. she's 8 at the time & had really been getting into ro-sham-bo. phil g walks in as we're sitting down & i had seen him playing 100 dollar games throughout the day.

i told her she should go ask him if he wanted to play, thinking it would be cute. she does, & the first thing he asks her is if she's seen him on tv...which i guess makes sense, but she says no because she has no idea who he is, she just wants to play rock, paper, scissors. he looks frustrated at this already.

he then says that he plays for $100 per hand...to my 8 year old. i tell him that i'll put up $20 for her if he wants to play for that & he pulls out his money. turns out he only carries hundreds & he has $17 in small change on him. i agree to lay him the 20-17 because i think my daughter laying odds his hilarious. he wins the first two so there's no third, takes the money, and turns and walks off. no thanks for the game, not even as much as a smile - just off he goes. it was like he couldn't wait to take the $20 bucks and split.

it reminded me of the character from Tin Cup that Don Johnson played...he hates children, dogs, and old people. well, children anyway...

[/ QUOTE ]As he has made clear many MANY times, he doesn't need the money. So the only reason he does crappy commentary and half the stuff we see of him on tv is cause he's an attention whore.
If there's one good thing I have heard of Phil H, it's that he always tries to accomodate fans for photos or autographs.
Phil H > Phil G

Phil Gordon is great for poker.

Also,

Because of him, I understand and know all the percentages. I just learned about the bell curve and standard deviations involving how it applies to poker situations. Every night I am given equations to solve and various homework assignments.
