Wow, and here I am thinking playing good poker is all about strategy and odds and selective aggression. Turns out it's all about bluffing and tells. Boy, I really need to rethink my game.

What kind of hat and sunglasses should I get guys?

Saw it. Thought it was pretty decent. At least it didn't bash poker, it actually glorified it. The moneymaker piece on Farha was great. I had no idea he was picking up such big tells on farha.

Must be nice to make 5k every night in high stakes hold em games. She has obviously read my posts on how animal sacrifice reduces variance.

Yeah, it really did glorify it. No shots of wild eyed five year olds gambling their milk money away and interviews with their hand wringing parents.

Well when he Suggested what was in the poker players kit? Wild turkey and 2 cigars it was kind of a shot at poker players, but I still think the piece was good for poker....better check numbers on Party and Stars tonight they'll probably spike.

The broadcast has apparently had no impact on Party user numbers, which are actually lower than they were last night.

something along the lines of chips in his right hand = bet and call (strength) and left was weak.

csuf_gambler 04-20-2005 11:57 PM

Re: 60 minutes II on poker is on right now
 
this is absurd. moneymaker is an idiot

ok, he says that if farha is shuffling with his right hand then that means his strong, he will bet or call your bet. and if he shuffles with his left, he is weak and will fold.
so they are talking about that key hand where farha had top pair 9 and moneymaker had nothing and went all in on the river. they call it "the bluff of the century". the thing is, farha was shuffling with his RIGHT hand during that hand, so according to moneymakers "tell", farha was strong and was going to call any bet moneymaker made, yet he still decides to go all in with nothing. what the fuk? why the hell would he go all in with nothing if he got a tell saying farha was strong and would call his bet. pure retardness.

i also remember chris's dad saying the same thing in audience during the wsop broadcast. im sure a pro like farha wouldn't have such a monster tell.

The tables are nice tonight. I wonder if this has anything to do with it.

Re: 60 minutes II on poker is on right now
 
While I dont remember which hand it was make sure you took into account that your right would not be Farha's right hand when looking at him straight on lol

Re: 60 minutes II on poker is on right now
 
(Chris in deep thought, during a crucial stare down): Which hand is right?.

(Enlightment): Oh, yes. The one I make love to every night.

(After he pushes all in): Mmmmm, is my right hand the same as Sammy's left or the other way around?. It doesn't matter. I have outs.

MaxPower 04-21-2005 10:22 AM

Re: 60 minutes II on poker is on right now
 
The stupid thing in the broadcast was that they were looking at tape of Farha AFTER Moneymaker had already bluffed all-in. There is not much point in picking up any tells at that point. If he picked something up before the bluff they should have shown that.
