Re: No F-Word at WSOP
Actually Freddy Deeb and Sam Grizzle can get some good high limit headup action while there both in the penaly box!

Out of 6600 players there will be 6599 who get eliminated at some point. [/ QUOTE ] This is the kind of rough estimate that many get wrong so don't feel bad. What are the chances of only ONE guy out of that many NOT getting knocked out? Gotta be 6599-1 or so. I'll take that bet....

If you pay $10,000 into the Main Event and lose a pot with the best hand, to some amateur, the last thing you need after that depressing blow is some official giving you the equivalent of a football "yellow card". [/ QUOTE ] I always thought the best hand wins the pot. Or were all those 2+2 books lying to me? You do realize there's a difference between the best starting hand and the best hand, right? God, I hate amateurs.

Re: No F-Word at WSOP

Main-streaming the game is good. Letting the Hellmuth-babies act like little whiny-pricks is bad. [/ QUOTE ] On the other hand, ratings in tennis were always better when John McEnroe played. As far as maintstreaming goes, the mainstream likes to be entertained and seeing people lose their cool is more entertaining than a bunch of silent stone faced robots. Me, I like an anti-abuse rule, if somebody is being abusive then a penalty can be imposed. Sure its harder than a bright line rule, and I can see why some people like a bright line rule, because there's no subjectivity to it. But I think context is important, and I also believe that its an adult game played (at least at the WSOP) by adults. And F ck is such a short pithy way to express strong emotion. Now if you want to put pretty much everybody in the penalty box at some point during the tournament? Ban Damn and Shyt. --Zetack

Re: No F-Word at WSOP
I think there should be a 30 minute penalty assessed when a player lays a beat on someone and then shouts "VINDICATION".

Whatya mean? [/ QUOTE ] I hear Grizzle's BR is pretty bad as of late, if not nonexistent. Also, doesn't grizzle usually not venture above 10-20 NL? I don't think Deeb would play that low on a bet. But I could be wrong. I do understand however your inference that they are both action players. Addendum: Witness
