And More love for Sammy Farha, if Omaha is ever outlawed he should just move to Hollywood and get work as playing all sorts of classy rich villains.

i was playing at binions around this time last year and sam farha was hosting his game there. a big plo game but i'm not sure what the blinds were. anyway, he ended up losing over a $200k pot and threw his cards in the dealers face pretty hard. what a dickhead.

Doyle, Lederer, and Daniel N. are probably my 3 favorites.

Though I must admit I can't help but root for Evelyn Ng on the rare occasion that she is in a televised event.

anyone else surprised at the number of people rooting FOR Hellmuth?

I mean...most of the people are listing him in their 'root for' list seem to actually be serious. I really just assumed he was universally despised with just a handful of individuals around who actually like the guy.

How can you root against Hansen?

Oh, and I usually root for Hellmuth, just to be a contrarian.
