Paul Phillips on the WSOP

I don't get this. Is PP comparing himself to a Monkey when he states" Monkey....ME"? If so I think that the Monkey is a -EV. But I need more of the quote to be sure.

Nah not really. He plays like a dope i think no offense.

Yeah remember that great move with 27 off to a raise and reraise lol. I don't think the objective was to make money it was to show how big a man he his. But turned out to show how big a dope maybe.

get a grip...it was just a joke...and has Tyler pointed out, not a very good one.


I do think that Paul's comment that the system actually would be +EV at the WSOP ME is interesting.
Curious if DS would agree on that since it is his system afterall. Paul should be more familiar with the general caliber of competition at the WSOP than David though.

Actually, I thought it was pretty damn funny.

In that case I think I'll take the Monkey over Paul.

Mike is a better player than just about everyone on 2+2. got that Slick!!!

Tell that to Greg Raymer and a few others that post here that I'm sure Mike M. would rather see playing at another table. Unless of course he's just plain stupid.

Hate to say this, but Mike is almost assuredly a better player than Greg is, and I think a TON of Greg's game and very little about mike as a person. But that guy can flat-out play.

The dope has 2 Bracelets, I believe. If he could control his blowups, he'd very likely be a top 20 player, and may be anyways.

I am guessing Paul Phillips was serious when he said the system would be +EV. However, all that means is that if there are 5,000 people in the ME, then someone playing the system would have a greater than 1 in 5,000 chance of winning. However, most of the good NL pro's would have an even greater chance of winning the main event than the system. However, just because the system is +EV, does not mean it will ever by actualized. A person could go there whole life playing +EV in the main event, and still never even make the $$, much less win the damn thing. It is sort of like a hypothetical situation where you are playing the lottery when the jackpot is so big you are getting the correct odds to play it.

How many world series events had he played? He plays most or all of them every year. 2 isnt the most amazing accomplishment. Sometimes he does something very stupid and gives all his chip away in one hand when necessary. See wsop nl table with phillips and dan n. last year.
