Check out the Most Losses/Appearences ratio stats.

Mike Matusow has been on 5 times and never won.

i was not aware that Shanna Hiatt left. That’s a shame. I liked her. She actually had some personality to her.

Anyone see how that week ended? Who won?

The final show started late so my DVR stopped on what seemed like the last hand which was a three way pot with the amateur and harmon both all in against hellmuth.

yeah i don’t know why i liked hellmuth and not gold. i think it’s mainly because i don’t respect gold’s game at all. hellmuth was cool back in the day before poker got too big. he just played and complained when he lost to bad beats, but didn’t act like he’s a rock star. the fame went to his head. i also like watching people put plays on him. that’s the best.

I am really surprised that you like Helmuth and dislike Jamie Gold.

I mean REALLY REALLY surprised. Helmuth is the biggest self-agrandizing, whiney little baby in the game but he can play tournemant holdem like no one else.

I’ll give him credit for his tourney skills hand down but he has the personality of a cockatiel mugging/singing to itself in a mirror.

I have never seen Jamie Gold lament, complian, tantrum, etc. when he gets outplayed, sucked out, etc. He takes it like an normal, adult male.

Helmuth is disgusting on any PAD because a.) there is no commentating
b.) plenty of tv time because there is only one 6 handed table being featured.
c.) extreme relaxation because it is a 6 handed freeze out with a bunch of other pros that he is very familiar with.

A, B and C lead to him constantly posturing (just about every hand) and professing how he’s the greatest.

I really only enjoy watching him on PAD when Gus or Doyle play. They run over him all the time with horrible hands.

But of course that leads to more of his self-masturbatory mouth running.

But at least the guy can play.

Some of these new kids posture like Helmuth but have mediocre game to back it up.
