Creepiest Moment In WPT History.......
 

Phil Gordon putting the back of his hand on Scott Wilson's neck during a hand. What the hell was that?!!!!!!!!!

If it were me, I'd be more than a little creeped out.

Phil was checking Scott's pulse. It was just a joke. I thought it was pretty funny.

Phil Laak checked Joe Cassidy's pulse last week, except that at the time Phil Laak did it, he still had a decision to make. So it was arguably unethical in that case. Man, that guy is a jackass.

I knew what he was doing but it weirded me out also. I don't think Phil Gordon is funny. I think he's a dork. You can take that to the bank and cash it.

His humor is very "geeky" but I think he's great with his props and stuff (binoculars, the random "poker hand value" chart last year, etc).

I'm easily amused.

The creepiest Phil Gordon moment took place during a Celebrity Poker Showdown episode on Bravo. I'm not sure how many people even watch that crap, or if they saw this one, but this is how it went.
Nichole Sullivan (from Mad TV) was faced with a semi-tough decision and called out, "Phiiiil," like she needed his pro opinion on what to do. Well, Gordon, backstage, with his strange smile said, "I love hearing her call my name like that." He then continued to chuckle on at his joke with his even more strange kind of forced-like laugh he has. I just found the whole thing quite disturbing.

I'm with you on this one. The worst part was that he just kept laughing about it and then staring off in her direction. This one's #1, the pulse-check from WPT's Shooting Stars #2.

If someone did that to me while I was still in a hand, I'd have no problem going Nolan vs. Ventura on their ass, TV be damned. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Maybe. I use an official AL baseball as my card capper after all... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I think he means use Phil as a speedbag. That was my nickname for Ventura ever since that fight.

Personally, I think some of the creepiest moments in WPT history are all the whingefests that happen around here from all the humorless gits, the morning after the show airs.

I think I've got a great sense of humor. But I would fail to see the humor in some dumbass invading my space in front of a live audience and with television cameras rolling by laying the back of his hand on my throat while my tournament is on the line. But maybe people in NH feel different about such things than we do in MA. Too each his own.

I think everybody is entitled to their opinion but if you don't like people commenting about the show the morning after, what the hell are you doing reading, and posting on the WPT forum?

Go troll some place else.

Re: Creepiest Moment In WPT History.......
 

is it surprising that i knew exactly what this thread was going to be about just based on the title of the post.

agreed....and then some.

that was just plain weird.
even moreso i think by the fact that Phil looks to be about 6'6" or so.

Re: Creepiest Moment In WPT History.......
 

And a fantastic demonstration of that finely honed sense of humor that was, too.

Re: Creepiest Moment In WPT History.......
 

I thought the creepiest moment was after he folded the 99. It was disturbing to see the usually pleasant Phil Gordon so furious...

borderline _yelling_ at Moneymaker (Moneymaker was like WTF?) and as the hand played out, the look on his face as he was sitting there suggested he was plotting how to burn down the casino with everyone in it. Man if looks could kill..
