Pic of Greg & Matusow After Play Ended - Page 3

Matusow is a great NL tournament player, he's funny, and he's very entertaining to watch. I really get the impression that he occasionally can't help himself from speaking without thinking first, in the heat of competition - but for the most part he seems like a good guy.

Matusow, Raymer, and Ivey as the Final 3 would be almost too much for a poker fan to hope for.

Huh? Sure, Paul Phillips seems pretty egotistical, but I'd say he has a much better sense of humor than Hellmuth.

Paul wore a freaking Phil Hellmuth jersey and used a Phil Hellmuth chip cover for their heads up match... I'd say he has a pretty good sense of humor. Sure he has a big ego, but he doesn't belittle the play of others like Arieh does. "He calls $500,000 with a pair of fives, what a joke! Waaaah waaaah wahhhhhh waaaaaahhhh!!!! Someone get me a tampon!"

Does typing out the word "aggressive" cause cancer or something? Every time someone types aggro all I get are visions of Mike O'Malley screaming into a microphone.

ESPN assigning him the roll of the bad guy.

I don't buy that. While I'm sure ESPN goes out of its way to highlight confrontations, Arieh said what he said and acted how he acted througout the main event. They didn't dub that in. And while he may be a great guy in real life, his own behavior, not ESPN, convinced a lot of us that he can be a real ass.

At least he's not as big a jerk as Assfandiari.

Phil will atleast laugh at himself and self-deficate himself when he's not in the heat of battle.

Paul Phillips is Lord Poker 24/7, On or Off the table.

Does Phil have IBS? I did not know this.

Thank you, sekrah.

I dunno, being a jerk 1% of the time is human; I would be upset if I was forced to put all my chips in as a 43% dog in the final few tables at the WSOP because the guy on my right played a hand badly. I mean, the only thing Demetriou was ahead of in Josh Arieh's entire range of hands was the hand he had.

Not all of us are gentlemen virtually all the time like Fossilman.

What can a hyper aggressive player like Arieh expect?

He's stunned to see people making calls with less than premium hands against him??

Arieh is a punk-ass bitch. If he ever talked to me like that he'd get his teeth scattered throughout the poker room.

Gimme a break. Do you think Arieh was only playing AA-QQ, AK-AQ? Josh plays extremely aggressively and pushes a lot of draws. Demtetriou called him on it, Josh got lucky, and he still acted like a jerk.
