The boobs of poker

[toots]

Here's a game I'd pay a buck not to see:

The World Poker Tour "ADHD and Personality Disorder" Grand Finale, final table

1) Mathias "Daaaaaa!" Andersson running in circles, screaming
2) Phil "The Unabomber" Laak doing pushups, crawling under the deck, shouting at the dealer
3) Antonio "The Magician" Esfandiari doing the Poker Wave
4) "Dumba**" Fischman laying on the table, emulating a siezure
5) Phil "I'd win every time if it weren't for luck" Hellmuth throwing a temper tantrum
6) Mike "The Mouth" Mattusow, yammering away, as usual

Commentary by Vince Van Patten, Jesse May and Dave Foley

... and who says poker's being dumbed down?

I was hoping for some links to boobies.

I'd substitute Jesse Ventura for Jesse May.

In addition ...

Michael "I can pick up tells on the greatest players of the world but am stuck here on commentary not telling you what they are" Konik

Would you rather watch Celebrity Poker?

*shivers*

god I hate that show. and Mike and Vince aren't CLOSE to as bad as the CP ones...

[toots]

Actually, they're worse.

I mean, the play on CP sucks, and Foley's an idiot, but Phil Gordon singlehandedly outdoes both VVP and MS combined, if for no other reason that he has more than a dozen canned lines to utter.

I thought this thing would've been said already, but the tell he picked up was the posture change in Chan when he made the bet. It's been so long that I can't remember if he was buffing or not, but he either leaned up (that usually indicates a bluff) or leaned back (to indicate a made hand).

Actually, while the poker is almost always horrible, the commentary by Phil Gordon is informative. Dave Foley is a host -- I find most of what he says to be stupid, but harmless.

VVP is awful and Sexton is getting very annoying. They can't call the hand straight -- their irrational (and phony) excitement is unwatchable.

VVP can live off of the credit he got with me after referring to that one Indian dude as "The Calcutta Cardsmith."
