Bathrooms come to mind with the term snap off. At least in my depraved mind.

Gabe is a great commentator. He knows the game better then most but has a good sense of humor.

I like Mike Sexton too. I think the two worst are chad Norman and that other idiot. There is ablsolutely NO technical commentation about play. It’s just annoying banter and suspense building. Blah.

Snapping off…right term, wrong place for it. I don’t think you so much snap off a good hand as you do snap off a huge chuck of someone’s stack. Just an observation.

oh come on, dude, you never SNAPPED OFF a set of deuces? duckets?

poker commentating is gross almost all around. gabe kaplan and his cohost on high stakes are the ones i think who actually add.

the guy on POKER AFTER DARK is the absolute worst.

Great play going on in this vid. The announcer annoyed me though with his “snap off” comments.

WTF does snapping off a set of 2s mean? He was just making words up.

In my first comment I meant PHIL Hellmuth.

In second, PHIL Ivey.

Too many damn poker Phils.

Phil is strange in cash games. He makes a lot of weird plays. Like that episode of High Stakes where he folds a king high flush draw for a really small bet against two players. Then he turns around and makes huge bets with crap into huge hands and dudes fold. He just knows.

Jason, haha yeah “Donkey stuff.” You got it on that.

Yeah Phil would have lost at least twice as much, particularly on the flop bet.

Whilst everyone thinks its a great laydown, he’s just thinking to himself “even if I win I can’t win. It’s Phil fucking Ivey.” Must Fold.

Not to mention if it was Phil Hellmuth instead of Cunningham the following would have happened:

IVEY bets 15K on flop
HELLMUTH: I re-raise. Make it 45K.
IVEY calls
turn card comes
IVEY bets 45K
HELLMUTH: I re-raise. Make it 135K
river card comes
IVEY bets 100K, making same value gestures he made on CUNNINGHAM
HELLMUTH goes in the tank for awhile
HELLMUTH: I’m all in for my last 250K
IVEY insta calls and flips over 2-2
HELLMUTH: This donkey crap is for the birds. That #$%$#@% idiot called my raise with 2-2. I raised to show you I had a hand. You are the luckiest donkey in the history of the world
GUS HANSEN: Uh, it’s Phil freaking Ivey.
HELLMUTH: And he’s too stupid to spell poker.
