ajs510 122 Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 My impression of Paul Maxfield was that he played very well and got lucky when he needed to. Everyone sucked out multiple times at that final table (except Phil Ivey who is busy scratching the letters W, P, T, A, and Q off every keyboard in his house). Everyone here who considers themselves a proficient player has gotten lucky and sucked out. As TJ says..."That's Poker". I just love the ultimate justice of Danny Nguyen being the only Season 3 champion *not* to make it past Day One of the WPT Championship. Laughed my ass off when I heard that. Captain Suckout.

sdevilgal 0 Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I don't think Maxfield is all that bad. He may make some bad choices but in general he's prolly a decent player. Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Alf, that ax your grinding against Varkonyi isn't sharp yet? Good god you dislike that guy. Once again, I do think he was lucky, but no talent at all? Don't you have to some skill to win the ME? Link to post Share on other sites
