Phil Laak on high stakes poker season 4

[Brocktoon]

[ QUOTE ]
Laak just plays a tight game. He clearly cares more about going home a consistent winner than he does about making sick plays.

You say this like its a bad thing...

He's also one of the few that disapprove of the prop betting. I know prop betting is =EV, but the fact that they have to do it seems a bit degenerate. Playing for hundreds of thousands isn't enough action?

[/ QUOTE ]

He has a TV show.
Which is based.
On Prop betting.
An entire show.
About prop betting.

In professional high stakes games, what Brunson did is regarded as acceptable and part of the game. Releasing chips is considered the move "The Big Game."

In low, medium and modest high stakes casino games, it is not.

He loves betting, at least that's what i think. The show I Bet You, on PAD he said that he bets with Antonio on all kinds of stuff.

I think they want him to shut up and put out the straddle.

I like most of his talk. If Phil and Todd don't want to straddle, that's their option. Some guys are there to gamble and some are there to play poker. You can't please everyone.

Phil Laak is just way too predictable in cash games and the worst part about it is that he talks like a LAG but plays like a nit.

Does anyone else the same about him? I recall Josh Arieh said something similar about Laak and why he doesn't even play like any crazy unabomber. He just plays straightforward Tag with an annoying personality.

[/ QUOTE ]

First if he's so predictable, why does he play in a game with some of the best in the world and constantly win money. ? Second, what's wrong with playing a TAG game but trying to give off the impression that you're a gambler?

do you cry at a good film?
how about in public? still crying?
now how about soap operas?

[Butcho22]

I can't stand him either. Mainly because he obv tries too hard to get attention/be funny.
