The episode of the WPT today made me want to quit playing poker forever.

It was the wildest WPT final table ever, so wild that it tightened Gus up considerably! /images/graemlins/wink.gif

This is the first time I have ever been angry after watching poker on TV.

I enjoyed watching the first hour and 50 minutes with Gus. He put on a clinic, as usual. I'm always impressed with his ability to get money in the pot as a favorite and keep it out when he's behind.

No, the real reason Gus tightened up is because he owes Shana Hiatt $950k. And there is also speculation that he owes Vince Van Patten $500.

I agree. I think if I ever see that guy, I have to punch him in the face.

Really? You must not watch the same Gus that I watch....Like the time he sucked out on Freddy Deeb...or the 10,8 vs Antonio's pocket sevens...or virtually every hand on Poker Superstars I.

Not discrediting his play, just saying your statement is more than inaccurate.

OK, I'll bite (I've re-read the post, and if there's a jopke there, it flew right over). According to PokerStove, T8 is not a favorite over 77 pre-flop.

The only two non-pair hands better than 77 pre-flop are JTs & QJs (regardless whether they share a suit with one of the 7's or not -- very close at 49.45% to 50.55%).

BTW, does anyone play at the Garden City in SJC? That's where Danny is a dealer, right? (I think I've seen him there before).

I was referring more to his WPT final tables. I don't know why but he seems to take them more seriously than he did Poker Superstars (which he won, btw!). He makes so many brilliant calls, folds, bluffs, river checks, etc. He does have a tendancy to hit every flop that comes down, but his postflop play is flawless 90% of the time.

NITS!

This was easily the most entertaining episode of the WPT ever.

As usual Dynasty is correct.

Danny? I was always happy to see him sit down at my table with chips to burn. WTF do you have against him?

I used to play there all the time in 2002-2004. He dealt and he played a lot of 6-12, 8-16 and sometimes 20-40. I heard he has taken some time off, and he was seen in Vegas this past week. No surprise.
