Agreed. Especially seeing the actual TV footage, it came off as funny. They have had Antonio Esfandiari out there doing card tricks and other antics of the like. It was funny to me, to those that watched it with me this evening, and the only thing that would concern me is whether Lee appreciated it or not, because if the guy getting joked on doesn't like it, well, then it's out of place. But, apparently he was cool about it, so.... bravo.

it was kind of funny

i'm sure that if i was lee i wouldn't be appreciating it after doubling doyle up and having to deal with a super aggressive legend with an equal amount of chips.

My guess is that most of the voters for this category would answer any question about Paul Phillips in a similar manner. Paul's mistake wasn't giving the book to Lee, it was getting so rich while still so young.

At first I hated him, just seemed like a guy that you would love to hate. But man, the guy is funny. Just go through his posts here, he'll grow on you. And the Phil Hellmuth jersey pic was just fantastic. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I thought it was funny. Better than listening to VVP.

i found it childishly funny. at the time of watching it i thought that it was slightly in bad taste by PP, as it was a terrible hand for lee and he might have been morning over his decisions, only to be the butt of someone's joke. lee obviously didn't have a problem with it though so it was all in good taste. paul could have chosen a better time for it though, in a smaller pot. either way, it was good tv.

No big deal at all, IMO.

What annoyed me is the overuse of flashing lights, scrolling web links, and graphics, that while fancier, are now harder than ever to see.

I voted for harmless...

when I first watched WPT, I really disliked Paul because he seemed such the intellectual-cocky-got-lucky-but-very-smart-and-knows-it guy. I have to say I root for him now...

kind of same thing with Mark Cuban... a decent guy who is living a sweet life...

His antics were completely bush. If you had a huge chip lead on a player like Doyle Brunson, how would you feel about doubling him up? I'm guessing you'd be a little upset. Then, some jerk comes out of the audience with a "How to" poker book and brings it up to you. If I were Lee, I'd have punched PP right in the face. COMLETELY BUSH PAUL!
