RasZi did you feel awkward standing there at the end when Amanda for some reason said 'Do you wish your brother was here?'
I mean seriously who even thinks about saying that to someone that just lost his brother and is currently on air on international television.. christ...
apparently u don't watch tv... thats like the oldest trick in the book
Holy shit retards she said, "Do you believe your brother Joe was here with you?". Like watching over him play poker poker etc not "Do you wish he was here". One is standard and everyone asks it and one makes no sense to ask someone. Language barrier FTW I guess.

I knew she didn't say exactly what I wrote but mentioning his brother not being alive in any way is just asinine to me, what the hell @ doing that at what should have been a happy moment.

Amanda has a hard job. Sitting there in a freezing studio when she is like 90 lbs and half naked and having to make up stupid small chat at the start and end of each show. Maybe she has an earpiece that she gets her lines fed to her.. but it's still awkward to try to do closing interviews with an entire table of players in under 30 seconds. Last week after Daniel split a pot with Hachem with AA vs TT he said "ive never been so excited to get half my money back with AA" then Amanda walks up and says "Daniel, have you ever been so happy to get half your money back with AA?" They just need to cut all the bullshit talking parts from t.v. episodes. It's supposed to be a 1 hour program and we only get 30 minutes of poker..
Actually what she said was perfectly, fine, the old guy was ranting about his brother for minutes, even pulled out that random lottery ticket. Then started saying that his brother must be here now since he fucked up the lottery ticket, now his brother is helping him win this pokerstars thing. Asking him at the end, ,do you think he was? is not asinine, it is meaningful to what the old dude was already talking about/thinking
I have learned from poker that being at the table is not a grind, the grind is living and poker is how I pass the time

I agree, I wouldn't be able to do her job, it must be very annoying and she probably feels like she needs a more challenging job... I lol when theres a big pot going between two guys (remember the Ansky vs Hellmuth's KKvsQQ?) and the 4 other guys at the table run to Amanda and they all so excited start to tell her "omg I think he has XX, the way he played it and the way he bet, i think it has to be that or XX,XX,XX but I don't see how is he bluffing there"... etc, pretty much she is the person everybody goes and whines or brags to and she can't do anything about it lol

Exactly, at least someone gets it.

You don't think it makes people happy to believe that their loved ones are watching over them?
He brought it up (his brother) in the most random, out of nowhere way. He obviously wanted/or believed his brother to be a part of what will probably be a life changing moment. It's like when Tiger Woods father passed away and everyone says crap like, "Do you think he was out there watching on the course with you today?". It happens all the time.

The KK vs AA hand was pretty weird, I guess Jetten didnt know exactly how much was Bob up... He probably thought that he had around 25-30k in profit and I would definitely think Bob would do the same thing with QQ/JJ because if he had one of these hands and with only 6 hands more to go he would probably think there is not going to be a better spot to double or win big money, im not sure if he will do that with tens, probably not but AKs i think he would play it the same way...
I think he is committed to any hand he 3bets with. After the 3bet he has 30k in profit and he is risking it to win 180k in cash + the 50k passport. That's still great equity even if he is a 4 to 1 dog. Unless the money means a lot to him or he thinks he can find a better spot. He also made a pot sized 3bet a few hands earlier with TT and I don't think he would fold to a 4bet there either.
Anyways no more talking to the emotional retarded, Now that this show is over I actually feel like emailing Pokerstars and telling them that this Show was the best poker related, Non Strip poker, show that I've seen produced. I hope they do it again.

yes his range is only AA there, i dont think he commits with something like TT tho, he doesnt seems stationary, he hesitated before calling elky with trips and hellmuth with AK a lot.
Probably the best way to play KK there was to see a flop, not to fold vs AA just to not scare worst hands.
Regarding amanda, she is ok, she isnt the most gracious girl in the world and many she seems tired when somebody randomly talks to her and the camera switches to her however she is the poker show host ive seen more involved unlike that woman in PAD that is like totally detached from the game.

Don't forget he decided to run it once with 180k profit on the line i think he was willing to gamble. Of all the loose cannons i thought this guy was by far the better player he deserved it congrats to him.

oh i meant his range ISNT only AA there when he pots it preflop however the KK might force him to fold a hand like JJ-QQ, he should have seen a flop to maximize value.

wow hellmuths call in that hand just stunned me
how many people on this forum would call here?
I usually argue that internet players overexaggerate when they talk about how bad live pros are but holy shit thats crazy... and the sickest thing is this can only come up in live poker
that is nothing, havent you seen his call with A9 on KKx ?, insane shit
The list is endless with Hellmuth bad calls
LOL.
