Bonesy 0 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Just finished watching the WSOP event that Erik Seidel won. I keep hearing feedback about how masterfully he played. From the hands that I saw on the broadcast, only the 44's I believe were impressive. All the other plays, anyone in here would make. AA's over QQ's, that's a tough one. 88's vs 99's, sucking out, that's harder. Flopped nut straight going all in hoping Violette has an ace.Don't get me wrong, I'm sure he did play very very well to get to the final table and win it. Just looking at the 5 or so hands that he played on the final table though give no indication of anything.Flame away Link to post Share on other sites

NO one could be expected to understand how dominant Seidel was from that ESPN telecast. They dont really accurately portray what happened. Read the transcript then see what you think.

Socko669 0 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 His performance was masterful, yet nowhere as masterful as his performance on TILT. (am i the only one who really liked that show?)Seriously though, Erik Seidel is a master. Link to post Share on other sites
gus28 0 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 espn poker is horrible!!! all they ever show are a couple of all ins from the final table. The wpt is a lot better telecast if you wanna see some poker being played. Link to post Share on other sites
