It really looked like they were colluding. So they changed the rule New rule is disappointing. I loved that year Jamie won. It was entertaining. | ||

Each blind level is 2 hours, dinner break is 2 hours, and they started at 3 pm EST, so they will be playing until 1 am or 3 am EST. | ||

It's like finding out your opponent had a hidden expansion the whole time and they crush your attack Or you attack and you don't see them dropping your min lines while flanking your main army and get demolished. | ||

Phil Helmuth has 11 bracelets with 45 final tables appearances. That's not luck. This is an accurate description. Poker is a game based around your ability to keep track and calculate probabilities, and use that knowledge to make the appropriate decision. There is no small amount of luck involved, but someone who knows what he is doing with regards to the statistics will have a huge edge. | ||

I'm not sure if he's doing it on purpose or not but I think its awesome for people like me who don't take poker seriously. I had no idea what float meant. Very helpful to have him have Esfandiari clarify some of these more obscure terms. | ||

Not really, b/c until you get rivered in poker, you are actually that far ahead. If they have a hidden base or something, you're not really ahead at all. Poker takes skill, but luck has a far larger role in it than in starcraft. For example, I could never beat MC, but even against Doyle Brunson I could knock him out on a 2 outer. | ||
