Re: Sammy Farha on HSP
When Sammy wants to play poker, games are built around him. They don't usually do this with the most dominant players in the world.

Sammy's a PLOH specialist. The Big Game spreads NLHE $1/2K with a $100k cap. A while back (was it during the WSOP), there was an uncapped $1/2K PLOH/NLHE rotation running. [/ QUOTE ] noone hear has heard of that im sure [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Sammy Farha on HSP
[ QUOTE ]
Sammy Farha is one of the best NL Hold'em players in the world and that he is just bored with the stakes presented to him on HSP. He believes that Farha playing in this game is equivalent to a player rolled for NL 600 playing 10/25 cent. [/ QUOTE ] I [censored] hate comments like this for so many reasons....if you're a true poker player, one who thrives on competition, and one who wants to win everytime you sit at the table, you'll play your A game (especially on national television) no matter what the stakes "I'm bored" is such an excuse for bad play

Re: Sammy Farha on HSP
At least on the show it seems obvious he's just playing to have fun and gamble it up. Even he admits it. I'm positive he could play 'better' if he so desired, but that doesn't mean he'd be one of the best in the world. There's no way to know how good he'd be, and we're likely never going to find out.

i don't think it's boredom at all. often when players get themselves stuck big they get themeselves into big hands figuring it's the quickest way to get their money back. there's a player similar to sammy that plays at my card room. he'll get stuck for 4g at the 2.5/5 game and he'll put 3 more g on the table. he'll play every hand and play them very fast. if he gets hot he'll break the table.. more often he'll just lose the 3g. he'll be back tomorrow and he'll start out playing his game again.. if he gets stuck again he'll play fast again. it's part of the game. there are sammy's all over the place. [/ QUOTE ]I've even heard this phenomenon to be described as "tilt"; go figure.

Re: Sammy Farha on HSP
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?

Re: Sammy Farha on HSP
TV Time = Name Recognition
Name Recognition = Status Status = Money/Perks/Endorsements Playing in many hands on HSP = TV Time

Re: Sammy Farha on HSP
Farha is very sharp when he wants to. He's just gamboling it up at HSP most of the time, he plays BJ for 10k a hand, if you think he's no good at poker guess again.
Btw games are built around him because he plays to gamble, when he is out to win at omaha games are not exactly built around him.
