Re: Josh\'s apology
 

Are we even sure it is Josh Aplogizing? I could go on there saying I was Doyle Brunson if I wanted.

I don't think there is any reason to act the way he did after that pot. No class.

This was my impression as well.

Good points. Unless his apology is followed up with appropriate behaviour then it's meaningless.

My father-in-law, who doesn't even play or follow poker, was hanging out on the sofa last night. His comment after the Arieh interview, "That boy sure is full of himself. I don't see that Jesus guy bragging and the announcers say he's real good."

Perceptive, even if he is an in-law

Re: Josh\'s apology
 

I don't recall which episode we first saw Josh, but he has rubbed me the wrong way ever since. Last night was a vindication of my people reading skills- he acted EXACTLY as I would have expected him to. His apology is half-hearted at best; he shouldn't explain the hand. He should apologize for acting like a c**k and be done with it.

I was happy to see that both Demetriou and Norman Chad called him on his boorish behavior.

And don't even get me started on Mattias Andersson...

Josh was splashing around a lot of pots in this tourney. Harry made a stand with top pair. If you can't make a stand against an uber-aggresso like Arieh with top pair, even on a scary board like that, then you're just going to let him take every damn pot against you.

Also in defense of Harry's play, his gutshot gave him ~15% equity against most hands he's behind.

He's a dink with or without the apology.

my opinion of him improved after reading this

Not mine? He shoulda realized what an ass he was back in May and not after seeing himself on TV. Spin control in my opinion and not a very good job of it at that. Once a dick, always a dick until proven otherwise and this lame apology doesn't prove a thing to me.

Right on the money. Human nature is revealed under stress - the veneer is washed clean: Josh A? Dick.

Re: Josh\'s apology
 

Oh well, we can sit here and whine about his childish behavior, but in the end he's still laughing all the way to the bank. At least he took the liberty to finish Harry off after the AJ hand.
