The new TOC

I havent seen anyone post about this torney yet, saw most of it last night. 1st thing I got to say is Hellmuth and Madasow at the same table omg. This was some of the most fun TV I have seen in awhile.

Steve Danaman going off on Hellmuth was classic "no one should buy your book or watch youre dvd because you are a punk". Wow where did that come from, do you think he should of gotten had to sit out for that? do you think hellmuth was slowing up the game? I dont think so but thought it was funny as hell. I loved how the cowboy wore earplugs the whole time.

I thought it was really funny because Dannennman said "Nobody should by your books or CDs." CD's???? We know he meant DVD's, but still.

I really don't like how Hellmuth thinks he's above normal poker rules, like stacking chips, or showing down cards if asked. He's an elite poker player, but to expect people to bend the rules for you is wrong.

I caught most of this, and thought it was very entertaining. Great players, good poker, and good tv.

And yeah, the chat was pretty good too.

Once again, the more I watch Hellmuth, the less I respect him. He's a great player - don't get me wrong - but he acts like a spoiler brat. I know part of that is his schtick, but you can tell that most of it is just who he is.

Gotta say you were right and I was wrong TP, the more I watch Mike the Mouth, the more I'm starting to like him. Loved when he pushed all-in w/rags against Hellmuth's PFR w/A8, priceless... you could practically see the steam coming out of Phil's ears after that hand. Great TV.

Yeah, that was good, but I still like Hellmuth.

Matusow's verbal jabs would've have a lot more behind them if he could get them out with out stammering and stuttering. It seems like I've seen him marblemouth it a few times when trying to be coy.

He sounds like a GED education.

Yeah, he'd definitely benefit from a few days at Camp Shabi.
