Playing in many hands on HSP = -$200k
TV Time = losing money
losing money = busto
busto = no more of the pokah

Metagame anyone? Certainly seems to work for Jen Harman (when she doesn't run bad in running it twice)

Well his main underlying point is that if Farha is winning 7 million against the best in the world in the biggest stakes you have to have an unbelievable poker mind/skill that, when you want to apply it, would be abel to crush any sort of game.

And when you win 7 million against the best why would you care if you lost 300k when if you put your mind to it you can go out and win 7 million on any trip you take to Vegas and the Big Game?

Or you could have just ran incredibly good.

you guys are missing the biggest point with sammy... he's not playing with his own money, he's being staked which allows him to play any two cards

Shoot. How did we miss that!? OMG maybe it was because no one really knows that for sure.

[FGators]

Well he was all over Negreanu for supposedly being staked so unless he's a hypocrite he wasn't.

i read an interview somewhere where he basicly said his bad play on television was for image reasons.

[Perestroika]

Why hasn't anyone ever questioned people saying "he took 7 million from last time around", seems like a huge joke/saying to keep Sammy playing and feeling good. Just think of the size of the game, and how often it would be running, and who would be dropping that dough. From Jen's comments you can infer it was from the big game group but that does not sound reasonable and my instinct is that he is a huge fish who didnt take 7 million and actually probably lost 7 million.
