chgocubs99 0 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I'm not bothered by his comments about me, but I found his comments about Humberto to be a little unfair. Humberto's English isn't very good. Maybe if it was he wouldn't think he's so "obnoxious." I hope he was kidding about that, but the way he wrote it, I was unsure. Humberto is a great guy and is good for poker. It's kind of odd for him to single out Humberto for being obnoxious on camera when... er... nevermind.Don't know what he said, but I was annoyed watching the main event and certainly would have been if I was at the table by Brenes. That being said:1) I don't doube he's a good guy2) I'm sure the TV editing had a role in how annoyed I was getting watchingThat being said, if I go to Mexico, does that give me the right to be annoying as hell because I don't speak Spanish? I don't think it does...but I should probably shut my mouth until I read what the guy wrote. Link to post Share on other sites
checkymcfold 0 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 lol michael craig is not being serious about everything he writes in his blog, obv. He has tried to be humorous in his coverage of the hu event. Whether he's done that or not is up for debate. What I can say is I've played with him 3-4 times and he is a pretty average poker player. me too. Link to post Share on other sites

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Humberto Brenes is a colorful character and has a place in the poker world. Poker wouldn't be as popular as it is if there weren't some characters out there with a personality. Link to post Share on other sites

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Humberto tries to be fun and entertaining and I appreciate his efforts. He doesn't "try" to piss people off, he is just showing his passion for the game. Watching people that say nothing and do nothing is a little boring to watch. Can you imagine what Poker After Dark would be like if no one spoke??? Link to post Share on other sites

Can you imagine what Poker After Dark would be like if no one spoke???Yup, I saw some of that week. Moneymaker, Ferguson, Chan, etc.I saw an old episode of some tournament, don't think it was the WSOP, but Humberto was heads up at the end, Seidel was there I think, and he had his headphones on and was singing somewhat softly, just being himself, and it was pleasant to watch. With the boom, he obviously has opened it up a little more, and is more colorful for the camera, and like a few have said, that is great for the game. A great personality. I would be psyched to be at his table. I would be even more psyched to be at his table with a few of you whom he annoys. Link to post Share on other sites
MikeJohnson724 0 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Humberto was hilarious today Daniel when playing Laak. Did you hear what sheikan said to Ted Forest, Daniel? That was just out of line. Sheikan goes too far imo. Don't know if I am spelling his name right. Link to post Share on other sites

MikeJohnson724 0 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 What did he say?I guess Ted sucked out a few times on Sheik, so he was a little upset. They got it all in and forest had A rag, Sheikan had j10. River came a 10 and Sheikan yelled "F*CK YOU!" at the top of his lungs to Ted. Just no class imo. Glad to see ted move on to win that match.

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I usually like Humberto, from what I've seen of him on tv. Playful and funny. , but I thought that during the world series of poker coverage, he did some pretty brutal slow rolling with monster hands, stuff that I didn't think was funny but was just classless.SKeikian made an absolute *** out of him self on the Poker After Dark. This is truly a guy I can't stand. Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 On the other hand, Shiek is an excellent driver. You know, it's got to be brutal for DN to lose to Mike in the first round. He has to hear about this for Mike for months now. I wonder if they had a side bet on the match... Link to post Share on other sites

nutzbuster 7 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Lol,Everytime I suck out from now on I'm going to say f*ck you!!Everytime I win a race I'm going to say suck my d*ck!I really hate Sheikan, he actually makes Matusow's personality look goodThat HSP episode where Sheiky breaks Mikes sunglasses....man. Gold genuinely looked shocked and guilty, wishing he had just kept his mouth shut. You could tell he actually felt bad about reminding Sheiky to break Mikes glasses, I don't think he ever thought Sheiky would do it.And poor Mikey.....man. He looked like he was going to cry. I mean, I really think he was totally bummed out, but played it off like a joke, but I think Mike was really hurt inside and felt bad for him. I know they are just stupid sunglasses, but they were Mikes, not Sheiky's.It was this episode that got me to really not like sheiky anymore. What I saw at that moment was Sheiky just being straight up mean bully. Link to post Share on other sites
