I don't think she is out of her element but Matusow definately is.She plays in the BIG game 2k-4k or 4k-8k those games are usually capped...where NL is NO LIMIT...ya can tell Sammy--Daniel-Todd--Barry--Ted--Gus seem to live for these stakes.BUT Phill Laak seemed a little out of his element always saying how much he's up...getting mad when he lost 12k..saying"well there's 12k down the drain" 12k in this games is NOTHING!!the big names barely say anything when they lose 100k in a hand!

When Laak laid down his pocket JJs, that said everything. Matusow is easier to read than Cliff Notes in the big cash games. They both play scared because they are playing above their bankrolls. Its obvious in their play and mannerisms. SCARED.I think GSN wants guys like Laak and Matusow in there because they have some personality....but Laak is so quiet during these games because he's scared $hitless that its a waste even having him on.

HurricaneKyle 0 Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Big deal, Phil Laak plays tight. It doesn't make for exciting television but since when was this a crime? Personally, I thought he played well except for the JJ hand with Antonio. He definitely schooled Daniel on the A7 vs. 66 hand. Link to post Share on other sites

He's in way over his head in this. He's looking for any excuse to fold his cards. I have nothing against Laak at all....but I also saw him fold a big pocket pair last week where he was clearly ahead. In the few weeks I've seen him play, he's gotten a TON of premium hands....that's the only reason he's up. Link to post Share on other sites

Anyways the big game cap is capped at a 100k and she bought in for that much. I am sure she has lost a capped pot in the big game before so I dont think was playing tight because of being scared. Tight because of the camera's and not wanting to look like an idiot on tv and that made her look scared but I dont think it was because of the stakes Link to post Share on other sites

I think the hand with antonio, he laid it down, partially because of his relationship with antonio and partially because with jacks its hard to know where your at in a hand when someone reraises you, antonio very well coulda had qq or better but he put him on a bluff and just didnt feel like playing a big pot and possibly being wrong.

Did you see the episode where he fired 35k into a 60k+ pot on the river into 2 opponents, Alaei and DN, with 10 high! He obviously was not playing scared. I thought he played tight, but he played well. He only made a misread in that one hand against Antonio, but it was near the end of his session and i think he was just "sitting on the ball" protecting his winnings. Pros do it all the time in cash games. Also, I believe Laak regularly plays 100-200 NL. This was about 3 times as high, but still he obviously has some game to be playing at those limits.

NoSup4U 0 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Tight? He looks physically ill on every hand. He's in way over his head in this. He's looking for any excuse to fold his cards. I have nothing against Laak at all....but I also saw him fold a big pocket pair last week where he was clearly ahead. In the few weeks I've seen him play, he's gotten a TON of premium hands....that's the only reason he's up.Sometimes I wonder if you guys even play poker... j/kHe made a great read on Daniel once after raising pf with AQ, flopping QTr, and folding to Daniel's 2 pair. He even talked the hand out and explained exactly why he thought he was beat. He also made a sick bluff into that JJ paired board pot with 2 other players in the hand.I believe he left the game up almost $200K.That being said, for sure he's playing over his head. He wrote an article in Bluff last month talking about how he's really just a $20/$40 grinder but he couldn't pass up the chance to play in this game, as it would in his estimation the funnest thing you could give him a chance to do. Clearly the money meant a lot more to him than probably anyone else there, but in my eyes, you could tell he was enjoying himself and he played great. It seems like you all want to skewer him because he laid down those jacks to Antonio. So kill the guy for being conservative. Before the flop, he came right out and said either Antonio had aces, or was on a straight T5 bluff again. One wrong decision doesn't make his whole body of work on that show bad.As a side note: Do you Laak haters all think Farha played great then? He was in every pot, wasn't playing over his head, was never scared....and almost always got his money in with the worst hand :)Mark Link to post Share on other sites
AceJackOffS 0 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 there is an article by Phil laak in bluff either this month or last month (brunson on cover) where he says that 300-600 100 is the highest he has ever played. He said he normally plays 50-100 or 100-200. He was genuinely excited to play against these guys and recorded his largest win ever at over $288,000. Link to post Share on other sites

You even hear DN say something about Mike being broke or playing with someone elses moneyBut I reallly enjoy HSP bc of hearing the players talk and stuffI was watching PPT i think it was last week and the announcers just talk over the players but i think its interesting sometimes to listen to them Link to post Share on other sites
jjdylan 0 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 i thought laak played well, a little conservative at times, but theres nothing wrong with that. Matasow is just a moron, with so much great poker going on in the show they dont need him around for his talking and 'entertainment value'. The player ive been most impressed with on the show though is Antonio i think from what we've seen he's been playing some really good poker. Link to post Share on other sites
