Kaplan made a good point tonight. Jamie Gold, for someone who aspires to be the world's greatest bluffer, doesn't value bet nearly enough. I don't recall seeing anybody check down as many winners on this show as him. Sometimes he does it so quickly it seems like he's not even considering a bet.

For someone who is notorious bluffer, it seems +EV to bet when you have it, too. That's just me.

Not only that, but it also seems like courting disaster when he bluffs big next time. I'm sure that most players picked up on his betting patterns.

Who the hell is this Frenchman who, according to Doyle, is the only guy in the 500K game that can actually afford to play that high? I've never seen him before.

Who's gonna play with their own money on the 500k episode?

Gold (since I don't think anyone would stake him), Guy, maybe Doyle?

If they can ban prop betting, why can't they ban this Hellmuth insurance crap.

This insurance [censored] is ridiculous. jman said in his trip report that Phil kept holding up the game for this and I figured he was exaggerating. I guess he wasn't.

I'm not sure if this has been discussed in other threads about the show. Someone (AJ or Gabe?) made a comment tonight about Phil H putting his hand in front of his mouth when he has a good hand. I have noticed him do that before and can't recall ever seeing him bluff while doing that...

I will have to zip through some of the other recent episodes and see if it's consistent.

Seeing all the cash on the table for next week's episode, do they not play with $25K chips anymore?
