Live blogging a repeat
Fox Sports Network ran what I think is a re-run of of Full Tilt Poker’s “Learn From The Pros” this evening. I never saw it the first time around, but I recognize Chris Rose and Howard Lederer’s suits. They wore the same suits every show that first season.
Here’s a summary of the episode: Aggression is good.
Ok, you need more?
Phil Gordon: “If you’re not an aggressive poker player, you’re a broke poker player.” Glad I tuned in.
According to the commercial during the first break, I need to get my free credit report. Excuse me a moment…
I’m back. Yeah, it’s an old one. Daniel is still working at the Wynn. Hellmuth supposedly demanded to be introduced as a “poker icon.” Today he demands to be introduced as ”poker legend.”
They’re talking about having to make adjustments because of the aggressive nature of the latest round of amateurs. Hellmuth is mostly saying “Yeah, me too,” so he can brag about being on the TV table for 12 hours.
Brilliant point of the show: Be passive and trap against aggressive opponents, be aggressive and bluff against passive players.
Thanks guys, now can have that 15 minutes of my life back?
According to the commercial during the second break, I need to go get some Valtrex. Excuse me a moment…
I’m back. Did you know that when you play passively, bad things can happen?
Damn, that was a quick segment, we’re back to commercial. Let’s see if there’s anything I need to take care of… trips to Vail, new Ford truck, … nah, can’t afford any of that. Maybe I should learn to play poker better.
We’re watching Daniel and the Mouth argue over the “Showdown at the Sands”. Each is trying to explain why they both played the same shitty cards in shitty position. They’re arguing all the way into the commercial break.
According to the commercial break, the psychic can tell what you did in Vegas by looking at some dice or tiles or some crap like that. I’ll wait while you go make sure that skeleton is still buried…
You back? Good. Did you know the Panthers are primed and ready to take on the NHL?
Yeah, me neither. Nobody cares about hockey.
Ok, just closing it out with some crap about how Matusow is down 2-19 vs. Daniel heads-up. But, he beat him for a world championship in O8, so he thinks he’s ahead. He may be, if you value the bracelet more than money. I think he has a debatable point.
Well, Idol is on, and I really need to check out how Antonella Barba does after this week’s nekkid photo revelations.
BSN out!
