He is a strange individual and very hard to like. Pretty uncomfortable watching all in all.

And meat solvauki for main

Wow, Feldman should forget calling for water and just come prepared with a bottle of his mother's breast milk. Painful to watch him wetting his trousers when the flop came down. Matusow is different because he is bonkers and likely high on meth.

meh, the guy gets a lot or bad press, or used to. Think a tonne of it was misdirected and as usual stories get so twisted in poker, hes always seemed like a decent person irl to me (but freinds who used to play w him on betfair said he was ridic out of line fairly often). .  That video does make him look like a spoilt brat when hes asking for water and sweating the allin horribly, but fkit everyone has an off day.

Surprised you didn't play him back in the day.  Can confirm he was ridic out of line reasonably often and I didn't even play that high that often.  Some of the old tricks have become so standard these days, eg sitting at heads up tables only playing fish, insta sitting out when the fish leaves.  Pretty much everyone game selects to an extent, so a lot of this stuff may be where you draw the line.  I don't play much cash anymore, but expect hanging around the ring games trying to drag the fish to your table ever became standard?  Though this wasn't even a unique strategy back then.

But I also remember him giving away half of his winnings to charity when he won a GUKPT main.  To be honest, I can't see me doing that anytime soon, and that kind of makes up for a lot of the above.

Saw this and thought of you Cos (skip ahead 10 mins)

Why can't the commentators be quiet when the players are talking?

easy to make grand gestures when you're loaded through having made easy money in unethical ways.

I tried my best to not comment until this point.

As it goes, I get on with him irl and we now always exchange pleasantries when we see each other but I don't know whether that's just because I've been vocal about him in the past.

are u still talkin bout feldman? When's he ever won a comp? Defo not won a GUKPT. That's what makes the reaction so laughable, it's just some 3 table tv sit n go, wonder how he'd take losing hu for a bracelet?

Didn't that guy at the WSOP who got outdrawn by Duhamel with like 15 left have some breakdown. He was found hours later sobbing in a cooridor at the Rio. But at least that was to be in pole position to be world champ and win 8milly, not a tv crap shoot

I dunno about hours later jeff , but yeah he did lose it a bit ,his chin got a quiver on ,tears appeared ,and he left the room quickly , kicked a bin , screwed his hat up leant on the wall and had a sob , but did return to wish all well but obv gutted
Matt Damon I think, it was in my opinion one of the biggest pots on a par with darvin moons Queen jack diamonds and Billy kops/ or gazes 23 diamond hand ,and darvin moons set of v Kevin schafel s aces in wsop 2 year before

It was the 2011 GUKPT Luton where he came third. Gave £12.5k to charity apparently.

If you don't like Feldman you may be punching things by the end of the first paragraph.

I didn't intend to mislead, just a bad memory that is all.

It is too long to hold a grudge, so didn't just want to post negative stuff.  Even if it is easy to make grand gestures with other people's money, he could just have easily kept the dough.
