I have to say that I enjoy Kaplan's commentary better than most. He gets the game and the thinking around the table better than most of these hosts.Also, if you don't like him, then as a now famous sweathog use to say "Up your nose with a rubber hose..."

He just found out that he won the Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes

Grapefruit wedge just squirted him in the eye...

That's easy. He's doing the Macarena...

I just happened to be at Foxwoods on opening day and watched some of the early action. There are some players that are beyond "dead money" that played for at least the 1st hour that I just couldn't believe they are so dumb. I was talking to one guy who lasted maybe 40 minutes and he told me he got his entry from his wife who gave it to him as a 40th birthday present. He said "A steak dinner with a nice bottle of wine would have lasted longer than I did, but this memory will last forever". All I could say back to him was "Nice to have money to throw away..."

I just turned on ESPN tonite expecting to see the final table of HORSE and they are showing a pot limit tourney. Does anyone know what's up and are they going to show anything except Holdem?

I agree with these folks, Get the floor manager involved imediately. If this is a reputable casino, then they too would want to get this cleaned up ASAP. The dealer would want to rush to the next hand to hide his/her screwup...

There are over 400 auctions on Ebay for different card protectors as of today.

Great cause. I had a cousin die of this terrible disease.

Anyone know what the Turbo No-Limit Hold'em tourney is other than short handed? Is it just accelerated blinds?

I really don't see that this was an overly bad play. I guess it somewhat depends on the style player you have sitting across from you.

As they say "Better to be lucky than good" and you were...

I went to watch the original one posted here, but when I say this HellMouth typical blowup, it had me laughing...

Maybe he's broke and can't afford another hat?

I also have one of those messages on my answering machine. Unfortunately it was from someone who didn't cash...

At least the commercials may finally stop. It cost 50 million to make and they probably spent that much to hype it. They wouldn't let reviewers see the movie in advance leading to speculation IT"S A DOG...

I hate to admit it, but this probably makes sense for Stars to hire a couple lawyers and let those 2 be the front guys. If the WSOP did the same as the WPT then Stars might have an issue using the boys of the last few WSOPs like they do now. What I think is a bit stupid is the gaffers tape across hats and shirts at the final tables. I can understand that it is a bit much and alot of free advertising, but last week's PPT final at Foxwoods was real dumb with tape across Dan Harrington's Boston Red Sox logo hat. He wears that hat for all tourneys and during other table shots, there was no pro

Go reread the article. It wasn't local cops, it was the DEA and probably an agent looking for a name. Think about it, Poker is an interesting place to launder money if you were any good.Mike, I give you props if you really have made the turn. It's not an easy thing to do...

I can also understand where he is coming from. Let's say I am use to playing in a $10-$20 game. Would I get the same thrill if I was to play in a .25-.50 game? Probably not, I'd play and try to win just as hard, but my heart wouldn't be totally into it seeing what my end return would probably be compared to my regular game.

Guys, I see alot of TV possibilities. There is still enough Holdem to keep ESPN happy, but there is a nice bonus with the bracelet heads up. Take a look at the heads up on NBC and you'll see that it is watched. Great idea Daniel. Any feedback from the powers to be?

Nice that they get a check at the end of the day, but I could care less about their FCP gear.

Nice pulls.If you don't mind me asking, what were the payouts?

No, the Yankees also suck, so it's just a double suck...

Nashua? Do you play any of the local tourneys?

What's his name, from NY. Yankees back-up from last year. 'Belli will be missed.Flaherty. John Flaherty. Sox also had prospect Kelly Schoppach, but I'm pretty certain they moved him.Issue is John Flaherty has never caught a knuckle and Kelly was in the package sent to Cleveland for Crisp.
