Since you are so astute, what exactly is Phil Gordon's professional Poker record, not his commentating record, but his pro record. What tourney's has he won, what final tables, etc? Go ahead do a search douchebag.

Dang I guess you are a Phil fan!

His has won some events, but on the show---he misses so much.

Player 1 had KJ
Player 2 had 99

board was 9 T Q

Phil says player 2 had the second best possible hand!

I say, "what?"

What about QQ, TT, J8?

Unreal. His record or not----that comment was awful.

I think that was worse than the 8 and 9 full from tilt.

I think he's just fed up with the crap play on that show. No one here folds 99 on that flop, at least I hope not.

Ah, the ever-popular strategy of taking a single comment from someone, misinterpreting it, claiming it's obviously wrong and then trumpeting your superiority. It's like it's the twoplustwo mission statement.

In your example, a straight is the best possible hand and a set is the second best possible hand. Thus, a set of 9s is the second best possible hand. Being unwilling to see this is like hearing someone say "I call" and answering "You call who? Where is your phone? Boy, are you stupid!"

A fan, sort of. I mean honestly, what's not to like about Phil Gordon. I mean he's certainly not my most favorite player or a guy I want to see at every WPT final table, but the guy is likeable. My point was that commentating has little or nothing to do with his playing skills and those are two distinct separate things. I didn't see the episode you are referring to as I no longer watch Celebrity Poker Showdown, so I can't comment on it. But, whether he said soemthing erroneous or it got taken out of context, that has little to do with his playing skills.

He wrote a pretty good book too. Sure it is for begginers but there are a lot of begginers out there to buy books.

The only reason I even watch the show is because of Phil, i think his commentary makes the show.
