WSOP began last night and the Brit who won the first tourney couldn't have been luckier. He played terribly. I honestly think I'm a better player than him. Granted, he's 24 and has little experience, but he was calling and checking at all of the wrong times.

On Celebrity Poker they HAVE to tell you what a player should do because some of the "celebrities" suck so bad that they do stupid shit...

I did see the end of the WSOP episode last night ($2,000 buy-in no limit Hold 'Em) and, while the Brit did get lucky, the other guy blew it as well. Gave away a $250,000 chip lead and then busted out basically in two hands (probably more but it looked that way due to editing).
Who goes all-in when playing heads-up with a chip lead at the WSOP with a pair of 4's? He may play in Amarillo Slim's home game back in Texas, but he didn't learn that from Slim.
Also, I like the new innovation of the Rabbit Cam, where the dealer can now show the TV audience what card would have hit the board next if a player had not folded to end the hand...
