I was only gonna lay a buck on a few of those guys....just for some entertainment while watching it and they get in a big pot, lol. If i bet 5 or 10 guys and lose, i lose 5 or 10 bucks....no biggie.
And yes, poker is definitely NOT a sport....that's for damn sure.
I was unaware they had the final table on PPV. Sounds cool, although I don't see myself sitting up all night watching it. I suppose I could buy it and tape it, but then again, that sorta ruins watching the rest of the shows leading up to it.
ESPN is a bunch of cocks for announcing the winner before the final show airs too. They'd be better off airing it live if they wanted ratings IMO. But then it might interrupt their weekly Yankees game they have to air, and we wouldn't want that, lol.
As far as the actual poker, I wouldn't bet a dollar on Moneymaker or Gold to win another main event if it paid 1,000,000 to 1. Both won on dumb luck, and IMO made some really really questionable plays and ended up hitting the cards. The only thing I thought Gold did half decently was use his big chip stack to his advantage decently. Typical online player type though. Keep making big bets and try to get a big stack, and either bust out in the first 5 hands, or accumulate a bunch of chips and then bet over the top of everyone who can't afford to call with a marginal hand since you have them outchipped 10/1 or alot more, and knows you'll just move them all in after the flop no matter what comes up, so you can't even call unless you hit trips or better. That's why I'm not a big fan of playing online in the first place, and I'm not a big fan of watching guys play like that on TV either.
And I hope to hell that Molina guy is the first guy out this year. He's really an annoying jackass, and plus a crybaby. Worse than Hellmuth, lol. He looks like he's 13, and acts like it too. I wanna puke every time i see him.
