Re: Phil Gordon is
I am not a Pro. I havent played him before so who knows. Maybe I would get good cards.
I dislike him. I dont think he is as good as everyone thinks. That said, he has some impressive tournment wins and finishes. Everyone hates on Phil Hellmuth, but I like him a lot better than Gordon. One question I have---if he is so good as a pro while not play poker instead of butchering the show. SWUSC

Re: Phil Gordon is
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Phil says player 2 had the second best possible hand! I say, "what?" What about QQ, TT, J8? Unreal. His record or not----that comment was awful. [/ QUOTE ] Ah, the ever-popular strategy of taking a single comment from someone, misinterpreting it, claiming it's obviously wrong and then trumpeting your superiority. It's like it's the twoplustwo mission statement. In your example, a straight is the best possible hand and a set is the second best possible hand. Thus, a set of 9s is the second best possible hand. Being unwilling to see this is like hearing someone say "I call" and answering "You call who? Where is your phone? Boy, are you stupid!" [/ QUOTE ] Good post........ Actually this is the first thing that came into my mind - shallow brains are too literal. Phil G. is a class act (of course this is relative to other poker players), I have never met him personally, but he used to play on UB a lot, and even hit some $50 SnGs. I also played him on FTP and he was very nice, chatty, funny and didnt mind a little ribbing. (A-2 = ALL-IN) He was always great and chatty even when heads-up.

Re: Phil Gordon is
How old are you?
So many of you numbnuts come here posting I hate him or I hate her, it's [censored] immature. I really don't understand. You sit there all day pondering your next post and this is what you come up with? How about next time you start a thread on the call itself and not "I hate Phil Gordon". Now go, your mothers calling.

Phil Gordon has earned over $1,200,000 in poker winnings including a 4th place finish at the 2001 World Series of Poker. His success at poker speaks for himself.

Re: Phil Gordon is
Before the thread dies, I would like to point out that, in addition to being a pretty good poker player, Phil has done quite a bit in recent years to raise money for charity. Check out tiltboys.com for tales of some of his exploits and a link to his "Greatest Sports Adventure" site. He may or may not misspeak once in a while on Celebrity Poker, but, all in all, he seems to do more good than harm.

Re: Phil Gordon is
Actually I find his commentary quite useful. I'm a newbie tournament player, so i really like some of the gems he drops.
His comments seem to have some thought and you can tell he's been "in the trenches" I cut him some slack because, as much as he'd like to, he really can't trash on the Celebs that come and play, no matter how bad they are. They would never get Celebs to come on if they knew they were going to be portrayed as poker nit wits. Now Dave Foley good god, he's awful. Sarge[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
