Did I just see that? Mike Baxtor had a brain fart. WTF was that AI with KQo?

And Eli calling there? he and Sammy must be playing the same money.

West Coast viewer. LOL.

The only way the play makes sense to me is that Baxter thought he had 10 outs, and thus had the odds to call. He actually did have 10 outs against Sammy. His blunder was that he forgot about the pre-flop raiser who had yet to act behind him (or maybe he thought Eli would not overcall without a monster). In any case, he was marginally correct to call if all parts fell into place, but idiotically wrong if they didn't.

Don't forget also that Jamie Gold was in the pot as well, after Baxter. Though Gold looked uninterested he cannot be immediately put out of the hand because as we know he tries to be the biggest actor in poker.

Just a ridiculous, ridiculous play by Baxter...and yeah I don't know how Elezra called.

Pretty ridiculous shove by Farha too, though it was better than Baxter and Elezra's play.

Gold wasn't in the pot. He folded out of turn before Baxter acted.

FWIW I read on some poker blog (no idea, dont think it was famous) or something that posted spoilers like 2 months ago. It said that in one hand phil hellmuth went into the tank for close to 10 minutes before scooping up a big pot.

I'm guessing this may have been the hand.

Lol at you guys thinking they didnt edit it on TV and he was only thinking for 20 seconds.

I highly doubt Jamey would say anything if it was less than 5 minutes.

I was so happy when Eli hit that Q...

I want to punch Jamie Gold in his eager little face.

[/ QUOTE ]I want to punch him too and I wish they never invited him on HSP, he is not a quality player, his only concern is bluffing everyone off a pot. Also-Sammy needs to GTF off the show. Terrible episode.

where do you people play poker?

sammy is one of the most important, if not the most important, player at the table.... what game do you play in that you don't want a looose player with multiple buy ins? sammy is exactly what you look for in a game. do you want to go up against 4 nits 2 rocks and a solid player?

[/ QUOTE ]

Finally ... someone said it! You want a "Sammy" type on the table ... hell if his car breaks down you drive him to the game!!!!

That depends on where you are I think. And I fail to see how they are any less legal than a youtube vid.

Is Farha part of the 500k table?

If not who is?

[/ QUOTE ]
***SPOILER ALERT***




In some edition of All-In magazine, they have a pic of the 500K buy-in table, and you can see Esfandiari, Farha, Benyamine, Antonius, Guy Laliberte, Jamie Gold, Doyle Brunson and Barry Greenstein. Maybe others will play as well? Not too sure.

p.s. There is ALOT of cash on the table. Should be good TV.

Was i the only one hoping that the people sitting behind Farha were the 2+2ers Jman had brought with him?

Who were those guys anyways?? I know I have played 100-200Limit with the guy who was wearing the white shirt and shaved head at Bellagio and Rio during the series.
