Anyone wonder how he managed to win the online slot to make it on tv? He's folded just about every decent hand dealt to him (waiting for aces??) and only played back one time in the last three episodes. And with all this he's still near the bottom of the chip stack.
Weak and super tight. When he folded the K9 the other night pre-flop I actually said out loud to the TV "WTF". Well... you know what I said. That was the third time in probably a half dozen hands where he had good cards pre-flop and dumped them.
I'm wondering if he won that spot by a drawing and not a tourney. Maybe he bought it with FPP? I have no clue... just talking out my backside.

Well, I agree that it wasn't a good hand (it might have been sooted!!! I don't recall). At any rate, it was by far the best hand he had seen at all and he mucked it like it was covered in some flesh eating bacteria or something.
I guess all I was trying to say is he's playing super tight. I agree, shellshocked might be the problem.
Only against my AA! I got knocked out of an MTT last night holding pocket rockets against a K9. The night before, I folded the exact same K9 hand and the flop came KK9, go figure.

I've been thinking the same things. I do know that FTP was running a promotion where the winner got a PAD seat and Light is wearing a FTP emblem, so I'm assuming he won the tourney. As we all know, live poker and online poker can be very different and he may not have a lot of live experience. I agree that he's playing extremely weak/tight and can only surmise that it's nerves. He said he wasn't nervous, but his demeanor indicates otherwise. He barely talks, and when he does engage someone in conversation he's obviously uncomfortable.
BTW, anyone else notice he's not the smoothest chip shuffler in the world? Not that that's a big negative, but if I wasn't really good at it, I probably wouldn't do it on national tv.
