Were there Vegas odds on someone named Nguyen winning?

Really. He whines, "I can't believe you put all your money in with AJo" (after hitting his ace on the flop), when he had all his in with 89h on a draw.

Then like two hands later, "I can't believe he put all his money in with JJ", when he had all his in AK.

Like double standards much, Josh?

Both hands Josh was pushing all-in, while his opponent is making a questionable call. If you don't see the difference start by reading the gap concept than read up on folding equity and go from their.

The reason poker is so popular has more to do with ESPN and the pocket cam more than Moneymaker and Raymer.

i said that it was the coincidence of Moneymaker and ESPN's coverage being so popular...
obviously the pocketcam made the tv coverage watchable

and IMO it could have been any "nobody" off the street who won the 2003 wsop, it just happened to be chris moneymaker

also, isnt it true that ESPN didnt start airing the 03 WSOP on a regular basis until they noticed the WPT ratings on the travel channel had started picking up speed? ive heard that somewhere

i'm not glorifying him btw, but years from now when we look back, i think [Moneymaker's win] will be a watershed moment

I don't want to make fun of you for being a newbie, but your post makes it apparent.

These are the years when we're looking back at Moneymaker's win as a watershed moment.

In fact, ever since about July 2003, we've been looking back at it as a watershed moment.
