I'm watching the final table again right now.

Imagine the reaction of Matusow, Hellmuth, or Fat Bowling Guy if:

King 5 pushed you all-in with a 4th raise on your 2 pair.

A7 pushed you all-in against your AQ and hit trips on the flop.

Tex Barch reacted as if he's actually played this game before.

Everyone knew that Aaron was terrible. He played for his stack against Raymer with no pair or draw on the flop....

that's a definate sign of an online player...

I've had hard time making judgement calls of stacks of chips and wished more then once I just had the number on the screen.

Lol. I have played a bit of live poker as well. In fact, b/c I play only NL poker, one of my biggest concerns is stack sizes. Therefore, before every hand starts I have have a pretty good idea of what the stack sizes are like. When it comes to making a decision, I am particularly aware of who I am playing against and whether it will influence my play.

For example, am I calling a raise from a short stack opponent? Will the short stack push on any flop? All of these concerns depend on being able to accurately count the stack sizes.

Even if it was difficult to count Raymer's stack size, the coverage from ESPN indicates that she ignored direct answers to her question as she repeated herself several times and was given the same answer several times in a row.

I don't see why everyone hated Williamson so much. She just didn't have a clue how to play poker, I mean she won her ticket in a £10 tourney in London. I don't think you can hate somebody just for not really knowing how to play. For her that was a big decision, KJ is a monster for such players, so I can't really criticise her for spending a bit of time making a decision.

Likewise with A Kanter. He wasn't a bad guy, just a bad poker player. Stillman wins the a hole competition by a mile in my books.

Andy Black was the coolest guy there, and an amazing player. I have a huge amount of respect for Raymer. I liked Hachem until the 'pass the sugar' incident.

I don't understand what all the fuss is about, it's not like we'll ever see Humpty-Dumpty, uh, I mean Stillman again.

Didn't he apologize right after he did this?
