Double Bump...
Easily the best poker show I've seen in ages, probably the best new poker show since WPT started.
FINALLY we get to see more about what these great players do, day in, day out. (Although of course, saying that, it's still edited and of course they may be playing a leedle beet different knowing the camera is on them...
)
Tonight's episode on Challenge was the last for that "day"; and of course featured that final sick hand between Farha and Greenstein.
Now, this is probably going to sound self-indulgent given that I don't play for more than $50 or so at a time, but every now and again playing online I get that "last orbit" hand, where the system decides to make me an offer I can't refuse, right when I'm nicely "up" and have decided to quit for the day - by giving me a huge hand and then giving the only other player at the table with a similar amount of money in front of them the hand that beats mine, or the flop that beats mine, or whatever.
These things happen - but sometimes it's tough not to feel victimised; it's so easy to give in to the temptation to be suspicious of online poker.
Well - once again, anything that can happen for small stakes online, happens in Vegas too. Plus, Farha and Greenstein were (at that point) two of the big winners for that day, I think they both had doubled through Negreanu at one point... so I guess it just shows you.
