Andrew Black Crying?

[Bartman387]

Im just catching the replay of tonights episode right now, why was Andrew Black crying? Was he really good friends with the guy that wasn't back at the table? Did he think something had happened to him??

Maybe my robot heart can't understand these human emotions of sorrow, but I just don't understand why he was that distraught.

he didn't even lose a big pot like the other cry baby that lost with the second nut flush....

If someone competing against me for a share of a $50 million+ prize pool was passively forfeiting his chances, I'd by crying tears of joy.

I didn't get why he was crying either. Someone please elaborate.

the situation is explained in the wsop thread. one of the players wasnt back from break on time and black wanted the players to play slow until he returned. what isnt explained is why the hell he was crying.

He is a Buddist and he was upset by the other players
behaviour . More upset than the player who did not seem
to mind that he was misinformed by the floorpeople about
the break .

He shouldn't play poker. He should just pour tea and arrange petunias.

Did I hear NC right when he said something like; "It's a poker tournament, there should be no profanity and no crying." I'm thinking that he originally said; "...there should be profanity and no crying." but was forced to change it.

My guess is it was 10% the principle of the matter and 90% exhaustion.

I believe that the answer is that there is crying in poker. Andrew knowing this decide to display his true emotions so that the kids at home would understand the wide range of emotions one goes through at the poker table. I believe he is writing a book:"Whining and crying my way tthrough the WSOP ME". Should be a big seller . Most poker players can relate.
