Can we at least agree that Josh Arieh was acting like a complete ass at the WSOP? Oh and I almost forgot Tony G, he makes everyone else look like a saint.

If someone called a third of their stack w/ 55 and checked in the dark and hits his set i would act like a complete ass too. But then again Arieh is far more of a badass than I, so I wouldnt even have been in that situation

It's not just that incident. It's also his berating of Harry Demetriou after Demetriou flopped top pair while holding AJ on a AKQ board and reraised Arieh all in. When Arieh hit his flush, he continued to jaw at Demetriou instead of just being happy to double up.

And it's also his "bust this motherf*cker out" comment to Williams right after Raymer just shook Arieh's hand after busting him out and complimented Arieh on what a tough player he was.

Dutch Boyd had a run at the WSOP, but besides that, has he actually been successful at poker? Is he even a winning player?

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't have a clue but from reading his blog once I think he was sleeping in like a friends hallway. So unless he likes to live that way I'd say he's not been very successful.

Fischman - He won a couple of events...is a good player...and keeps getting ripped on the boards..why?


[/ QUOTE ]

From what I've seen, Fischman is a very good player, but totally acted like a dickhead to Doyle during the WSOP ME and to Joe Awada during one of his wins (the one that he didn't really "deserve"). Lying down on the poker table was just classless.

Since then, I've heard that Fischman has behaved a little better. Let's hope so.

You want to see class? Look at Greg Raymer or Gavin Griffin from these boards.
