Like the my best hand program on ESPN
 

Seems to be interesting, but accessable to a general audience.

Liked Brunson's hand from 1958 where he called Moss' overbet on the river with jack high, reading that Moss had a lower busted straight and the other guy would fold his pair to that much action.

Also Arieh's fold of the flush against Murphy and Harrington's check/call of the overbet push with TPNK to win the WSOP.

I wonder if Greg Raymer knows of his tell that Annie Duke says she picked up on.

Probably the one Harrington mentioned that his glasses turn a different color when he is bluffing.

Re: Like the my best hand program on ESPN
 

Maybe the tell she was talking about was that after getting re-raised he only re-re-raises with a bigger pair then 10's.

Re: Like the my best hand program on ESPN
 

I picked up on an incredibly usable tell on Greg Raymer.

When he gets involved in a hand/pot, he takes his glasses from the table and puts them over his eyes.

Re: Like the my best hand program on ESPN
 

All of the hands they're using in that series are from 'The Best Hand I Ever Played' by Steve Rosenbloom. It's an excellent read and definately worth picking up.

which episode was that on?

Re: Like the my best hand program on ESPN
 

Have I missed something or is it "The best hand I ever played that was filmed by ESPN?"

I'd hate to be the pro that played their best hand on FSN or Travel Channel.

Re: Like the my best hand program on ESPN
 

True .. They will only show it if it was on ESPN or never televised at all(i.e.: Brunson's hand).

Re: Like the my best hand program on ESPN
 

I didn't think the hand they showed from that Gavin kid was anything special, he limped on the button, and took down a small pot with nothing when neither of his opponents had top pair, I'm sure he's played better hands with bigger pots.
Arieh's laydown was nice.

Re: Like the my best hand program on ESPN
 

I think they should use actors to recreate the hands. For Phil Hellmuth, I want Christoper Walken.

Donkeys alwasy draw in a Walken accent would be priceless

Well that'd be incorrect then. I've seen him 3 bet preflop with AK [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I like the program too and it demonstrates more poker knowledge from Chad than I think most people give him credit for having.

It's a weird cross-marketing with the book which I also liked (did a post on it in books/publications).

The best hand for Gus Hansen was on the WPT. I'm sure they use any footage that they can. For the Brunson one, there was a dramatic reenactment (which I found a bit dull, but conveyed the point better than just verbalizing what happened).

Re: Like the my best hand program on ESPN
 

I think they should pick some random Joe Schmo from the WSOP floor and interview him, it might go something like...

"Dude, after I qualified in a $40 satellite, I was stoked! So, the very first hand I get in the Main Event, I look down and see 74 offsuit. I see a bunch of pros at my table, so I decide to mess with their heads, and I push it all in. Johnny Chan calls me and turns over AA! Then the flop comes with a 7 and a 4, and you should have seen the look on his face! Dude, my best hand ever!"
