I feel... a little sorry for the "loose cannon"... clearly very fishy. But even if not... they've sort of stitched him up with his seat... Helmuth on his right, three "hyper-aggro internet punks" on his left...

I'd change tables if I were you pal...


He prob got the best seat at the table...

Guys its Donny not Dani, they have it wrong in the graphic. 2m2m guy in tutu, Donny. aka Ansky aka Horse Penis. There is no dani.



What?

This is from the DC page for Ansky's coaching:

Dani stars on G4's 2 Months 2 Million with his friends and fellow DeucesCracked instructors Jay Rosenkrantz, Emil Patel, and Brian "flawless_victory" Roberts. He placed 4th in the $40K NL event in the 2009 World Series of poker, winning $548k in what has been described as the toughest live poker tournament in history.

Yea but I heard a commentator on one of the shows incorrectly explain VPIP, I cant remember exactly what it was but he screwed up the V part and the explanation. He made it something like checking your BB added to your VPIP or something. Think he said IP (the IP of VPIP) had something to do with position as well.

Wish I remember the clip... I had a good chuckle at it though.

But back on topic. Blazer?



Yea but what is funny is the whole problem of sample size in a live game rear's its head sooo often when they look at these stats. "Wow in the first 12 hands Hellmuth has a VPIP of 54%" or even more useless is when its like "yep in 20 hands he has won at showdown 75% of the time" - that stat takes forever to converge.

I think the color man, cant remember the guy with Rose, said that the stats were useless... Actually that guy is pretty good... I should look him up. Not Rose. Obv - which is what the other guy said once in commentary, which was a nice throw to the internet players.

When he tells the Loose Cannon to bluff Helmuth, but not try to bluff the internet guys... Dani sort of shakes his head... like "shut up Negreanu!!! I'm workin' here!"

I just realized that coat/blazer/whatever was real -EV for Ansky....

If I could get on the show I think I would wear a full blown tweed blazer with the suede patches and an Ansky logo.

Ya, Ansky really kind of won that argument, and came out looking more reasonable than good ole Hellmuth, which is unsuprising.

Everyone knows Hellmuth, for all his good qualities, just cant handle the big losses. Its like he is two years old at these moments. Donny was sort of laughing it up in his face, but Prahalad and Daniel were egging it on for sure, and everyone was more laughing at the archtypical Hellmuth blow up than at the fact that Hellmuth lost the hand.
