I think the speech about playing perfect for three days was for the cameras. [/ QUOTE ] agree with you on that one ... it was quite Hellmuthian.

"You can act like a man! What's the matter with you? Is this how you turned out? A Hollywood finocchio that ah cries like a woman?" - VITO CORLEONE [/ QUOTE ] I never understood what the Don was saying when he said "finocchio". It just sounded like mumbled words to me. Recently, I learned that's it's an Italian word which basically means "homosexual".

He went to IU, I Had some classes with him. He ranted about a bad beat for over 30 minutes at the 1k Derby Clash at Caesars Indiana a few months ago. Every single person in the tourney heard about it. [/ QUOTE ] Assuming this story and the way his hand on TV were portrayed are both accurate, it appears this kid is not emotionally suited to playing poker. And to say you played perfect for 3 days ..., well, I'm sorry, nobody plays perfect for 3 days, not even Hellmuth or Matusow, no matter how much they say they do. Anybody who honestly thinks they're playing perfect for more than a few hands, has no real comprehension of poker. You can play great every time you play, or almost, but perfect will never happen for more than a hand or two. Later, Greg Raymer (FossilMan)

I didn't laugh, but I couldn't watch. It was embarrassing, especially considering that he was already in the money. What do the other 5000 losers do? Marry Oprah?

Re: The dude who cried when his K high flush lost
on another note, what about the guy who seemed to get friendly with phil ivey? the second in chips youngn? he seemed extremely down to earth, until he said "college kids will want to be the next me"... but I'll give him a mulligan, I mean, if I ever make it on camera, I might ham it up.
