Luske and Williams

[ncskiier]

I love the way Luske took that kid under his wing. I just love it. Call me sentimental but he seems like a great guy.

agreed. there's so many players to root against.

its nice to have someone like Luske to root for. Williams seems cool too.

There were a number of things that Luske did during the tourny, that if done by other people, they'd be called classless.

Luske somehow has some pass to act as loud and pull as many stunts as he wants.

Personally, I like when there are villains and heroes, old school and new, so I welcome the "unclass".

However, it seems people here with their nose in the air show their double standard when no one bats an eye at Luske's outbursts / antogonizing / etc, but cry rivers when others do the same. And Luske does it allll the time as well, when other players may only have isolated incidents.

Luske is not downright offensive. He says stuff like "You like your flush?! I still want all your chips!!!"
Matusow is like "Suck my #$%, calling with that #$#@"
Helmuth berates play and states that "if it weren't for luck, I'd win everytime"

Big difference IMO

By the way, when phil and mike bust out, they meltdown, literally crying and cursing the poker gods. Luske bows out gracefully, in an almost cartoonish "happy ending" way. Love him. Would Phil come back to coach his newfound 23 year old buddy? Yeah right

"Give me the money dammit!"

A few good points.

However, how much money did Luske walk away with compared to those other guys?

I think a few extra zero's to the paycheck would add a smile to any "losers" face.

Ummm..Phil was shown coming back to cheer on and offer support to crowd favorite Doyle Brunson...not exactly the same thing, but the same idea.

Not even close to the same idea. Phil's "support" was self-promoting, just like everything else he attempts. Have you ever seen him compliment or congratulate someone without mentioning his own accomplishments? Think about the other final table shown. "Hey buddy..5 cashes...way to go. You and me are the only ones."

Think about him with TJ last year. "He's in the top 3 all-time in earnings at the wsop. Both of us."

Even with Julian Gardner a few years ago, he mentioned being the youngest champ ever about....45 times?

He couldn't just say "Hey, good luck Doyle." He had to ham it up for the cameras and mention his own bracelet count. Hellmuth is an insecure, self-promoting jackass.

Please don't confuse that for genuine interest and concern in someone else's success.

Yeah, and he told Doyle the reason he's rooting for him to win it is because he wants a reminder that Phil can do it aswell.

Sure he would.
