markksman is the only poster that's gone after jman about the muck. i think everyone else has said that it happens once in a while.

The amount of morons that post in this forum is truly astounding.

If jammie vbet a little lighter, and bluffed a little more solid, he would be good IMO.

Easier to say than do, but I agree.

If you really believe this and aren't just trolling the thread you are an idiot and a losing poker player for sure.

[/ QUOTE ]Hahaha did you just call futuredoc a losing player? What's next, is JMan also a losing player?

also it's funny that you don't even understand that a marginal situation by definition doesn't matter much

From Phil's blog, figured out he owed Brandon and Sammy

I counted out the raise, and then that's when the clock comments came up. I didn't want to do it, but I steeled my nerves to make the play that I thought deep in my heart was the right play. I raised $110,000, and as I did Sammy feigned that he was calling, and froze me for one more second. Then I shoved it all in, and Sammy started to talk. But it was a weak sounding talk. Finally, I realized that I was right (unless he had queens, tens, or jacks), but I was till sweating until he folded his hand. He later said that he had exactly A-K. I had passed the test! I was now up over $300,000, and my game plan was tough for anyone to beat. When the smoke cleared I was up $402,600! Later on, I figured out that I owed $12,000 to Brandon ($10,000) and Sammy ($2,000), because they insured the very last hand of the night. By the way, Brandon doesn't even know that I owe him $10,000, because I decided that I owe him after the fact! He will be pleasantly surprised, that's for sure. That made my two day total +285,000 ($402,600 - $12,000 - $105,500 = +285,000). I sold 40% of myself, because I didn't have enough cash in Vegas, so I actually won $174,000 for the HSN two full days of taping.

i dont see anyone defending his muck. i see more people saying he made a mistake and watching the live donks overreact to it

You and JD both defended him saying it happens... It doesn't happen unless you are just up for making massive mistakes.

It would be like saying some guy is a great golfer and can compete with Tiger Woods and then he swings off the first tee and clips the ball and it rolls 5 feet.

The two things are not congruent. You can't be a great player and make simple mistakes like that.

I already know why he made the mistake. It would just be nice to see him admit to the reasons why instead of making excuses.

I have no real ill will against Jman. I have not seen him play enough to have any idea if he is a good player or not. All I know is what I have seen, and what he has said, and the situations he has been in...

My issues all have to do with the excuse making both by him and those who defend him than anything he actually did.

I forgive the mistake if people admit the reason why he made it is he was nervous and out of his element... Instead of just claiming it happens to everyone.
