heck is freezing over

my wife ballanced the checkbook

I am the favorite to win the WSOP this year

Phil Hellmuth paid someone a complimet


Only one is true.

Watching the WSOP last night - I was amazed that they actually showed Hellmuth giving respect to Raymer. almost as amazed that he actually took the time to give it.

See guys - he can be somewhat normal away from the table. Or at least not as big of a *******

I saw that too, but even the announcer noticed that Phil probably felt he wasn't getting enough TV time, and it was a good way for him to do it. It never seems to amaze me how little class he has. And Raymer keeps impressing me with how much class he DOES have.

I saw that as well and agree with Colquhoun. Raymer has a great deal of class and Phil has none. He had a smirk about him the whole time. I don't think it was sincere but rather there was something behind the scenes such as a side bet as to when Raymer was going to bust out.

Raymer does play with class, but didnt you mean that you're impressed by his luck? LOL

Poker is a game of luck.

The more often you play, the luckier you get.

That whole scene was just so contrived and insincere. I don't think anyone at the table took him seroiusly. And why does he insist on wearing those STUPID sunglasses every minute of the day whether he's playing or not. Looks like an idiot.

I think he is sponsored by Oakley and gets paid to be seen with them.

AH! That explains it. Even on the 'Learn from the pros' show he's wearing them while just sitting on a stool talking to the host.

True indeed and Raymer is very lucky.
