A few quick thoughts on the show

There were a few interesting hands that didnt get shown that I was involved in but that is inevitably going to happen. Especially when the biggest douche in poker (Hellmuth) is taking up some of the table time

The hand where Mizrachi and harroch get involved in a 4 way pot where harroch overcalls flop with the Q high flush and eric has nothing and makes trips. He is of course never thinking his hand was good as the commentators were saying. I thought Chad and mccaran were funnier then usual and did an ok job of calling the hands for people who dont play this game but they were so far off on this one its worth noting. Everyone at the table including Michael knew harroch had some non-nut flush after his flop play. The turn is of course no kind of semi bluff or w/e they called it. It was a total bluff and one I thought maaaay have worked (watching the hand I was sure harroch had a flopped flush and pretty sure michael had a bluff but I didnt know what would happen on the turn). When they show me at the end saying to grinder, "I thought you were going to do it" I was kind of trying to needle him into doubt on his check behind to make him play worse later. I actually think he picked up the same tell as I did on the turn on Harroch when he check called which led to him not following through with the bluff on the river. The way they commentate that hand it sounds like grinder thinks his hand might be good which was 100% not the case.

Boy I sure am happy Hellmuth didnt win

Its kind of crazy how they can edit reality tv and make it look like you are doing things faster or different then you actually do them. I knew this already but its especially interesting when you are the person being edited. Example: both cards on the last hand I sweated with my back to the table and came back in between cards but it looks like I only did that for the river.

I can't believe chuddo didnt get a shoutout! This Espn women even asked for his name and all this other info about him via email a few weeks ago when I told her he helped me learn the game.

It was very funny how hard the Croc got trashed. All his crazy antics and stuff didn't bother me much compared to the way some other people act but I can see how most people would find him annoying. He also was stepping it up bigtime for TV which kind of bothers me. That being said I looooove to play with the Croc and I'm coming to aussie this year crocky
