  1. That dude sucks at raging. He talks a good game, but anyone with anger management issues as bad as he's pretending to have wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to make sure the TV wasn't actually harmed... controller would have been through the front of the set and the set would have been through the wall behind it... at least that's what I hear...
  2. Here's one that sounds kind of odd at first but I think it'd work.Alan Rickman as Doyle Brunson.I threw something together in Photoshop real quick to show you what I mean.Just slap a little bit of 'old guy' makeup on him and I think we have a match!
  3. Young Phil HellmuthNoah WyleCurrent day Phil... not so much.
  4. You were wrong for not rubbing it in their faces more. You should have said "Now YOUR money is MY MONEY! Seeya later, SUCKAS!" and THEN got up and left.
  5. So, are you guys trying to say you don't play in home games with friends named CIGARBANDS?When I first started reading the original post, I thought he meant it was a face-to-face game as well but in retrospect I think he may have meant "live" to mean it was a pretty loose game with people playing lots of hands.... I'd still have folded.
  6. I think that article's point is overblown, but to be honest I do think televised poker has some serious problems right now:Celebrity Poker - Not that interesting to the hardcore Poker fans anyway and calling most of the people that appear on it these days "celebrities" is becoming a bigger and bigger stretch.Poker Superstars - Ridiculous structure. Shame, really, because it has the only poker commentators on TV worth a damn trying to explain why someone is going allin every single hand.High Stakes Poker - Not bad, but I have to watch it with the sound off because I find the banter between AJ
  7. Sometimes disaster to a flopped set is unavoidable but I absolutely would have folded this one on the turn, after he went all-in. However, if I knew the guy was a loose maniac... I'd give it a couple of seconds of thought... and then still fold.
  8. 2 pair vs a set is a common occurrence... I think that is why everyone here is being so dismissive about the original story.You want a bad beat? Try a multiple-raise eventual all-in preflop, hero with Ace Club, Ace Spade, villian (loose maniac at about average chips, not big or small stack) with Ace Heart 2 Diamond.Flop is (meangingless)(diamond)(diamond), turn? diamond. river? diamond. Loose maniac scores runner-runner-runner-runner flush, 2 high on the flush....That's poker!
  9. I don't vote for cheaters and David Williams is a known Magic cheat. Got banned for a year for it.
  10. If the guy went out of his way to crane his neck or distract the guy whose cards he saw, I'd vote for cheating. If the cards were held in such a way that he could see them directly through normal line of sight by just turning his head, well that's nobody's problem but the idiot who is holding his cards for everyone to see.
  11. Usually because the story ends "the lucky f'er hit his flush and/or straight" and cracked my big pockets". The people telling these stories generally don't realize they are making huge donkey moves themselves by pushing into a maniac calling station or going allin when there are 4 or 5 unknown quantities yet to act.
  12. I don't know what planet you guys are on that would ever fold AA pre-flop. If I have the best hand, I do not fold it. Ever. No matter what.
  13. I don't think so either, but only because you picked a huge exception to the rule. Babe Ruth's long-hit power was ridiculous to the point of standing up to and exceeding modern baseball players. In the vast majority of sports and in the vast majority of individual player cases, that isn't the case. Running, tennis, football, basketball, hell even figure skating.. if you put a modern champ next to a champ of days gone by in some mystical field of dreams, the old timers will get smoked, even in their primes in the majority of cases.
  14. Evelyn is hotter, IMO. But Clonie is also attractive.It is funny how many guys there are on an Internet forum for whom one or both of these two don't live up to their high standards... and by funny I mean implausible.
  15. Thanks to the information explosion of the Internet (and forums like this, 2+2, programs like PokerStove, etc), yes, I absolutely think that the current generation of up-and-coming poker players will understand the mathematical/theoretical side of the game better than any previous generation, by far. I'm not sure this is good thing... not only because it makes the competition more difficult, but because in some ways it may make the game more boring to spectate... but we'll see.
