    ROFLMFAO :mrgreen::mrgreen:

    that's PRICELESS :mrgreen:
  • There is an interview with Annie on gutshot. It's funny... she just WHINES and WHINES about how BAD all the players are this year... uh huh. Whatever.

    So, she mentions a number of key hands as she complains about her experience, but does not (to the best of my knowledge) talk about the hand with Dave that must have CRIPPLED her. Interesting omission... maybe she actually got outplayed? Nooooo, couldn't be that....

    :wink:
  • Another good pic of Dave can be found on ultimatebet software.
    on the mainscreen at the top theres a link to wsop coverage, youll see him there.
    Lookin good Dave. Say hi to greatbrit for me and watch out for him.

    HaHa :lol::lol::lol: she say "f**k you" to all the BAD players, and then "f**k you too" to all the dealers LMFAO...that would be PRICELESS :mrgreen:

    Annie Duke, Phi Hellmuth Jr and the rest ALL MANIACs at the table will drive these 2 insane, perhaps LOL :mrgreen:
  • I didn't notice at first, but Dave might have actually been a small favorite in that particular hand (with Qs 8s) bottom pair and flush draw.

    When he says he showed his pair of 8's, I wonder if he showed both cards, or flashed the 8 only. 8)

    I do agree with all_aces' general point though. Complaining about other players playing badly doesn't even come *close* to making sense.

  • I agree. I love Annie Duke and all, but come on. She sounds so conceited and cocky in that interview it is ridiculous. I love the Phil Hellmuth interview and also gained a lot of respect for Dutch Boyd in his interview :shock:

    guess she'll just have to blame it on all them BAD players :shock: :shock: what? :shock:
  • LOL, oh yeah. When there are 2600 total players and you get down to around 300, the skill level there is pathetic. :roll: :lol:

    Agreed, and agreed. Sad but true.

    ScottyZ, do we know what Annie had? I'm going to assume an ace, at least. If that's the case, I believe you're right... it's about a coin toss, assuming she didn't have A Q, taking away 3 of Dave's outs...

  • I think the reason why I gained a lot of respect for Dutch Boyd was because he handled the loss so well and wasn't crying or whining, as we saw with Annie Duke. Boyd handled the situation with PokerSpot great IMHO and I felt pretty bad for him when he said that he is paying for people out of his own pocket, especially when he has no legal right to do so. He also gave a lot of support to his crew and acknowledged their accomplishments this year. Anyway I really like how Boyd handled himself.

    Hellmuth was just entertaining and great as always. I he really didn't whine at all, but did say he was unlucky a little bit. Hard to be bitter when your book sells 150,000 copies in 1 year :shock:

    I can't wait for Dave's update for us! 8)

    I'm not sure what Annie had, but I doubt she would be laying down a set (or two pair) at that point. I think you're right that AQ would push the Q8s to being a sizable dog.

    I'm going to take a wild stab and say she had Kings, but I could imagine a wide variety of hands that might have gone down like that.

  • Its too bad we will never know, unless Dave can tell us :D

    I wanna see what her reaction was to seeing low pair.
  • http://www.gutshot.co.uk/wsopintro.php..
    this is the annie duke interview link....
    wahhh
    wahhh :cry:
    enjoy.
  • Annie wrote a written 'explanation' on recpoker just now... recpoker.com, I think it's still on the first page. She basically says the opposite of what she said in the gutshot interview. Someone there took the time to transcribe what she said, to do a little side by side comparison...:


    In a response posted today at this site by Annie Duke, reacting to a
    negative blacklash by some posters here at recpoker.com, she can be quoted
    as saying "I DID NOT say that the player who called me was a bad player.
    I never said that. I said I was surprised by this call..."

    http://www.premierleaguepoker/anniedukedsl.wmv

    Well here's the portion of what was actually said to gutshot that caused
    the negative reaction by poker fans:

    (Annie Duke to Gusthot.co.uk - Tuesday May 25, 2004)

    "...I moved in on the river for $28,000, into a pot that had about
    $14,000 in it, and I got called by ACE HIGH - which was very strange.

    But, you know, this tournament is really weird because, I mean
    there is a lot of people now who...I mean, any good player would not have
    called me there. And I was walking out with my friend (Paul), he's like,
    "I can't believe you got called! That was such a good bluff!"

    You know the thing is, I don't mind going out of a tournament
    bluffing because - you have to bluff..."

    (Moments later in the interview):

    "The problem is that, um, you know, normally when you get down
    deep in a tournament, you're against players who really know what they're
    doing, and you can make moves on them based on having some predictability,
    that, you know, they're good players and they're gonna lay hands down, and
    things like that. But, there's a lot of players who are just
    inexperienced and they don't understand the pot odds and they don't know
    when to lay hands down. It does make it a little bit difficult to wade
    through all of them and you really do have to hold some hands at some
    point..."


    I seem to recall her mentioning a player who called her with a jack-high straight draw. Think this was Dave? Gooooooooooooo Dave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Whats the site for gunshot?
  • gutshot.co.uk
  • Tilter:

    I pieced it all together and posted it in 'Ask Dave Scharf' titled 'Annie talks about Dave'. If you haven't seen it yet, you might want to check it out. Classic stuff is happening in and around this year's WSOP, and Dave seems to be close to the centre of it.
