I was actually rooting for him. He's not the best NL player (despite what he thinks) I don't think he's the best MIXED GAME player either, but from what people who've played the big mixed cash games with him have said is that he's really really improved these last 3 yrs and he's done it all just to win more bracelets, so props for that
Also he loves it, and it means loads to him so I was pretty happy for him
