SportsW234 0 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Bellanade is one of the best talkers I've ever heard at a poker table. He's in the Negreanu, Hellmuth, Matusow, and Powers league. Link to post Share on other sites
NicksDad1970 0 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 He reminds me of "The Rock". Link to post Share on other sites
Kendren 1 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 He reminds me of "The Rock".You too? He also reminded me of Billy Zane from the beginning, but the more he talked, the more he looked like Rock. Link to post Share on other sites
CaneBrain 95 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 one word: FRENCHthey are all the same.ever been to Montreal? they all act like that.I played a bunch of poker with some french guys in upstate NY close to the border once, and they were all assholes. I even called the floor a few times and had them made to speak only English at the table! LOLThis would be a fantastic point....except he is French in name only....they mentioned that his friends all call him bobby and the guy is a nightclub owner in America....plus if he was a frenchy he would be afraid to "go to war" at the table so to speak.Oh, and I have been to montreal....I know a good # of french-canadians from high school (hockey recruiting is grand) and they were not all a$$holes, in fact they were much politer than most Americans I know (including you)All 9 of my trips to Montreal confirmed my notion that they are nice, friendly people. Other than that I totally agree with your broad, sweeping generalization. Link to post Share on other sites

Arkanoid 0 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I guess you play for butt plugs then.Such a pain in the ass going all in, shovelling all your plugs onto the table. Pain in the ass, get it..... Link to post Share on other sites
Suited_Up 2 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I wasn't even in the last hand and I'm still on tilt from the last hand! But seriously, I loved that guy... and I am not generally one who takes a liking to guys who act like jerkoffs, but it was different with him, because after a few minutes, you could tell it was all being done for a reason and not just for the sake of being a jerk. I would love to act that way at the table. Link to post Share on other sites

Very well balanced during this show, too. I would think just about the perfect table attitude to have if you can pull it off. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Am I the only one here who thought Bellande was a douchebag? I think the only funny parts were when Jennifer made fun of him and he had nothing to say. The excellent laydown bs seemed really annoying. And plus, only queers wear beanies in a poker room.You're not the only one.Although he did turn his wit upon himself which takes the edge off his rudeness. Link to post Share on other sites

GWCGWC 83 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I didn't like this guy at all. It was funny to hear him say once that his comment was "camera talk" and not table talk. Even with the editing down, when he stopped raking pots, he shut up. When he busted out, he tapped the table and shook his head and didn't say a word. He shook hands and left. If he were a complete ass, he would have said any # of things that were going through his head. This let me see that he is not another Phil Hellmuth, but a poker player that loves the lime light and is willing to chatter. Link to post Share on other sites
