Our own SHANIAC on TV tonight. Hopefully he gets some good air time!
 

Shane's expert profile

First of many appearances obv

Re: Our own SHANIAC on TV tonight. Hopefully he gets some good air ti
 

His finishing position unfortunately sets him up to get minimal coverage. I'd expect Shane's exit to be the hand they show "in progress" after the 2nd commercial break.

I'd make a funny comment about his looks, but he may very well be the best looking male yet to appear at a final table this year on TV! Quite a motley crew thus far.

Best I could come up with was some kinda horseshack reference anyways, pretty weak. I expect better from the lot of you.

GL tonight. I'll be rooting for you to come in 4th! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Horshack works--when I let the Jewfro grow in, I alternately get that or a "young Bob Dylan."

I could very well get no airtime, but hey at least if I do, it's doubtful I'll come across as bad as Dan Druff, so it's sort of a freeroll. Kind of like how Frank Zappa used to have Tom Waits open for him, since all of Zappa's fans hated Waits and were especially grateful by the time Frank got on stage.

I think sirio will be on tonight also, as well as my buddy Steve Hudak who finished 2nd in that event, he posts on here (rarely) as ezcheeze (i think)

Re: Our own SHANIAC on TV tonight. Hopefully he gets some good air ti

You couldn't have picked a cooler analogy.

Is this the rebuy event? How many times did you rebuy?

our own shaniac lost $100 to phil gordon in a best of three series 2-1. he was out of his league

Re: Our own SHANIAC on TV tonight. Hopefully he gets some good air ti
 

cant believe Graz made that call.

gg Shane

Re: Our own SHANIAC on TV tonight. Hopefully he gets some good air ti
 

nice call by gracz.

why no flop continuation bet? it musta looked fishy to him with the flop check and the turn overbet all in -- of course i wasnt there but thats what i got from the coverage.

Re: Our own SHANIAC on TV tonight. Hopefully he gets some good air ti
 

I think you came off pretty well, actually. Little bit of Farha or something.

Seemed like a good ride. Have you posted your thoughts on your KJ hand? Obviously you figured you could push him off a hand like AT (???) -- did you just put him on a weak ace or worse?

The look on Gracz' face was pretty obvious that he smelled it right away. Still quite a call.

Nice run Shane.

Re: Our own SHANIAC on TV tonight. Hopefully he gets some good air ti
 

gracz is actually impressing me on the few hands ive seen. i really liked his 78 hand vs. pham.

A continuation bet on the flop probably would have been the way to win the hand, but I made a mistake. I made the push because I really didn't think he could call with ace-high (and didn't sense he was much stronger than that) given the stack-sizes. I'm pretty sure the blinds were 6K/12K at the time, putting about 80K in the pot. I had about 120K behind and I think Gracz had about 170K. Even if he reads me for a bluff, most of the hands I'll be bluffing with will notch AT. It's also possible I have a tell. In any case, I'll give him credit for making a great call, and I saw some interesting similiraties between it and the 22 call he made vs Law. Also, I'm 80% sure that the blown-kiss they showed in that hand was spliced in from a different hand, where I blew a kiss at CT Law.

Other thoughts on the show: I think ESPN deserves credit for doing the best with the material and the time that they can. And for bringing in Oliver Stone to produce the Pham segment. They obviously don't paint a complete picture (notice how Pham mysteriously went from chip-leader to short-stack over commercial break) but they do a good job with many of the elements of that picture.

Was fun to watch in any case, and Norman Chad's quip upon Pasquale Perrault's exit was kind of hilarious. I was wondering where PP had been the whole broadcast.

Congrats Shane. I was watching and rooting for you and I thought you came off very well.

I was listening and glancing while I made dinner, I sat down to eat when they showed him busting out I didn't even realize he was on the table with you guys. At least you didn't get his kinda airtime.

Bah. Where are my manners, congratulations as well.

Re: Our own SHANIAC on TV tonight. Hopefully he gets some good air time!
 

dont know about the rest of you but im fascinated by the fact that people from this forum are actually on tv and will be in the reruns on ESPN for the entire year...

Re: Our own SHANIAC on TV tonight. Hopefully he gets some good air time!
 

wow congrats on making the final table and getting on espn. but i'm sorry about that hand you pushed on man. i mean it is hard to call with a10 there but the turn pairing the board def didn't help u. gotta admit though gracz was pretty impressive
