Annie and \"play poker like the pros\"
If i am not mistaken, Annie wrote the omaha 8/b section of Hellmuth's book; this must indicate that Hellmuth, who didn't show annie much respect, and annie, who didn't show ole' phil much respect, must really actually be fans of one another...

Actually, I have the E-Book of that right now. During the book, Phil actually notes that Annie is his editor when he writes it.

[/ QUOTE ] Perhaps you missed the part where Phil consoled her when she was clearly emotional after busting Howard out? Or when they hugged at the end? Just because you go to war at the poker table, doesn't mean you can't be friends in "real life". |

Re: Annie and \"play poker like the pros\"
yah she was the editor, checking the odds and stuff. he even said that they disagreed about the best starting hand. i think phil likes a a 2 3 double suited and annie likes something like a a j 10 (i forgot where i read that) or a 2 3 x

Re: Annie and \"play poker like the pros\"
Firstly, congrats to Annie, she made an impressive run from low stack many times, and made the most of the break she got, unlike Hellmuth. Two points, however...
1) The deck really did seem to hurt Phil heads up from what I saw. I give Phil a good amount of credit for getting away from some hands, Annie cagely limped with good heads up holdings and had a couple positions a lesser player would have went home. He did well to stretch it out as long as he did. 2) I would really like to know how Annie felt after seeing Phil say that she had to be 30-1 to win this thing. This really stuck out at me. I'd honestly venture to say a lot of 2+2ers would have been between 30-1 and 50-1 at that table. Giving Annie only credit under 67k in equity at this event was a huge insult. Anybody against Phil heads up has a great shot, just let him maryter himself out of chips [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. |

Re: Annie and \"play poker like the pros\"
I said this in another post but will repeat it here. When Phil doubled through me with the 333 against my 333 he had a chip lead of about 2 to 1. I got the lead back without ever showing down a hand--check raising him out of the BB on bluffs and semi bluffs about 4 hands in a row (that is what Phil was ranting about at the end of the show). Then the K9 happened and when he called my check raise I was pretty sure he had top pair and was thinking he was pretty frustrated by all my check-raises. That was the reason I moved in on the turn. Phil made an amazing laydown considering the way I had been playing.
I don't really care what Phil thought my odds were. I knew I wasn't the best player at the table but obviously 30-1 is beyond ridiculous. But that's Phil--ya gotta love him! Annie |

Re: Annie and \"play poker like the pros\"
Thanks for the info Annie, with that information I tip my cap to you even more. You handled youself with a lot of class winning IMO, Raymer and yourself winning the ESPN featured events can only propel poker to further heights. Congrats on an even more impressive win.
And yes, you do gotta love Phil. He's good for poker, a black sheep that nobody can really get too angry at...hard to ask for a better person to put the bad face of the game on. Phil reminds me of the words of Douglas Adams, "Mostly Harmless." |

Re: Annie and \"play poker like the pros\"
There is way too much handjobbing on 2+2 recently..although in this case maybe the term isnt quite apropos.

Re: Annie and \"play poker like the pros\"
Wow! I just saw this on ESPN.. You played him like a bitch (him being the bitch of course) and I loved every second of it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
I loved it when you just showed him the 9, I thought his head was going to explode! "I thought I had the nuts" |
