Hardeep's been playing live poker for years. Yes he was out of his depth and was thrown by the fact he was playing poker 'superstars' but he could have reacted better. Like saying GFY to Laak who was obviously trying to tilt him up as you don't get to where he is without being able to handle 'bad language'. Hardeep's mistake was in trying to kiss arse and allow himself to be outsmarted/belittled.

Laak gets on his high horse when Hardeep swears. This from a player who's nicknamed himself after a bloke who killed three and injured dozens with his mail bombs.
Go figure.

Just watched it. It's all well in hindsight saying he should have just told Laak to GFH but it would have taken balls of steel to say it at the time.
Was painful watching though but Hardeep looked like he's been playing 10 minutes, not a few years. Not sure how long he lasted in the comp for but surely after half an hour or so he'd have felt better?

I meant GFY in tongue in cheek fashion. Turning the tables on Laak by suggesting he must have led a very sheltered 'poker life' to take such offense at the F word. Laak is smart and I think he'd have enjoyed/respected that 'banter' rather than the apologetic ass kissin approach Hardeep took. I just think it was a case of a rabbit being caught in the headlights as Hardeep is used to playing live albeit in a home game. On HSP Laak's good value for the side comments.

Agree completely. Hardeep bottled it. He should have hit back at Laak - who was exaggerating the offence he took from the swearing. Instead, he did end up like the proverbial rabbit in the headlights. |

He just sat down and lost just over £800 in a game with Rob Yong, S.Nowab et al and this after having lost £200 in his weekly home game!!
Doesn't sound like he deals with 'banter' very well at all. Also, wtf is he not preparing properly if he's not a pro surely some sleep might be a good idea before he sits down to play!

He should have taken his MP3 player with him... |

I was actually there and watching this guys and it wasn't at all like it came out on tv!!!.
Also as i remember it was a $1000 sng and not the stated $2000 , as i would have played as well but turned up about 10 mins after it had started.......gutted !!.
That 1 comment from Phil Laak made him look a bit of a toser, but far from it as he's a really nice guy.

I read an interview with Hardeep who said he really liked Laak aswell and they got on well enough. He also understood that Phil was taking the piss out of him a bit and judged it all to be friendly enough. |

Didn't catch the poker episode, but those backgammon players would take some beating when it comes to rudeness and disdain!
