A homeless nut.....

Don't care if Ellix played like a fool or fearlessly. I quite enjoyed watching him enjoying himself. I enjoyed watching him put the emotional screws to the self-appointed table tool. Above all, I agree with him that if you can get upset over winning $40K, there's something wrong with you.

The "bitch" though, is a whole new level. Total trash, and about as camera hungry and obnoxious as one could get.

Why is it when most people say someone plays "fearlessly," what I'm really hearing is, "he played like an idiot?"

[/ QUOTE ]

So true.

Fearlessly and Without ability for rational thought are utterly different things.

the goal is different for different people. If an ordinary guy makes the final table at the WSOP but doesn't win it all, I'd still call it a successs.

Ellix Powers approach threw some of the world’s finest off balance, and he played fearlessly.

Its funny how the line between fearless and idiotic is so hazy sometimes.

Please. Spare me. I am as competitive as anyone here but how many people do you think would play for 1st if they were told they only got the bracelet but no money or could take second and get a lot of money. Not many. If I won 40k in a poker tournament, Id be kissing every hairy motherfucker at that table. Id even kiss "the bitch".

More than any other, this episode of the 2004 World Series of Poker did a good job of introducing the casual viewer to the various types of degenerates and scumbags you'll find playing poker.
