Second, you said BAZWILLION. Seriously don't know how you won 100k, but I can see your 13yearold nephew outwitting you.Third, you're not even funny, and your points suck. Infact, the person you quoted has more validity then you. Who the **** would pay, when reading updates online has virtually the same effect. Link to post Share on other sites

Desslock 0 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Really looking forward to this -- watched the 2002 World Series final table under similar circumstances (produced by the pokerpages guys) and I really enjoyed it. Not seeing the hole cards doesn't take away as much as you might otherwise think -- and it's compensated by the fact that you get to see the entire final table, not just selected hands - and the chatter between the players, psychological games, etc. Link to post Share on other sites

Scott3705 0 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I don't know.... Last year listening to the cardplayer Blog and hearing the Matasow KK VS AA hand, I really wished I could have seen the aciton at that time. It seemed so exciting. I thought it was $9 tho?
