Has anyone mentioned that Fischman played great?

[shaniac]

I know that a lot of people around here seem to dislike him, but I thought he played amazing poker during the $1,500 NL tonight.

He played solid, surprised at how quick he fold 66 pf to a MPish raise i think.

[istewart]

It seemed good but come on, we saw like 6 hands he played.

Yes but he played them really well. In each of them, he had to totally took control of really good players to win the pot. It was great NL. I understand your point about the paucity of hands we see, but Scott managed to put on a good show.

[istewart]

I can agree with that.

I didnt like the check in the turn with Alan when he has the full house.

[shaniac]

Why not?

hey does anyone know what devilfish said to him after scott folded 88 and asked him "did i fold the best hand?"

devilfish had kk reraised all in preflop and after scott's lame speech and fold devilfish went around high 5ing

i taped the show, stopped the tape, rewound it, and still couldnt figure out what the hell devilfish said to him

[sketchy1]

not to discount scott, but i didn't mention to you tonight talking about this that they pretty much selectively chose what to show. i know that's rather obvious, but scott REALLY wasn't involved in that many pots at this final table. he doubled someone up early and was just an average stack most of the time. from there he just grinded and made a few plays. you saw pretty much all of the relevant hands he was in.

liz lieu, on the other hand, got the shaft. they showed two pots and she got owned in each of them. she didn't play just insanely great, but she mixed it up a lot. there was one great call she made against allen with sixes on a board with three overs. allen checked the ace on the turn, and the river. he had made aces with something like a jack kicker and just checked it down after being called on the turn. she was pretty aggressive when she got chips, and played relatively well.

espn did a better job from what i could tell with these two episodes, but one hour is far from enough to summarize a six to seven hour (and sometimes more) final table at the WSOP. like i told you... just wait till they show your one hand and everyone has no idea the context of the play! they'll show you fold a few hands, maybe take down a small pot, then bam, you're all-in with king jack.
