Give Arieh a Break

[MRBAA]

No, I meant the JJ hand someone else had where Arieh was caught criticizing.

Look, everyone is burning when they lose a hand. Having someone screaming "Ja, ja, ja" is going to make just about anyone mad. So if you knowingly do that again and again to "give yourself an edge" -- which is about what he said in his espn interview segment, you are deciding it's okay to rub it in your opponents faces when you win again and again. I think that is pretty disrespectful. Compare it with Raymer, for example, or many other players, who will give a short fist pump or say "yeah" or whatever -- that to me is a much more appropriate way to release tension/celebrate winning a hand than Andersson's antics.

As for Luske, if you'd like to be at a table with this guy be my guest. For someone to do that much material, they'd have to be Larry David or the vintage Richard Pryor for it to be worth hearing.
