Phil is right...Blumengoat winning would be a great story for poker. No one would care, on the other hand, if another 20-something autist wins again.

So you think this'll be wrapped up in what, 20? 30 minutes?

Blinds are only 1M. I'd guess an hour and a half.

right here buddy
These two fags gotta start shoving on McKeehen and hope for the best.
No way this timid style is gunna get them back where they need to be with a mid stack to play with.
>>63483591
thanks for the quick reply
My brother's best friend's cousin is Beckley. Would be quite the comeback from this position.
Thank god, the legend folded

FEDORAMAN is the remotely likable one.
McKeenen is assburgers r us.
Beckley is a literal nothing
Beckley exploiting Blumenfield's super wide 3-bet range by jamming on him light. Smart tbqh
Shove against McKeehen he's bound to call at some point with a mid range hand
>>63483651
I've only ever seen maybe like five good poker threads on 4chan in my 8 years or so here
>>63483592
He has so many more chips though. It's easy to call them out for not playing to win, but there's a million dollars at stake for 2nd. Starting the shoving at McKeehen a million dollars richer might not be the worst strategy.
>>63483704
No chance. McKeehen will only call shoves with tier 1 hands. He doesn't want to risk doubling someone up and potentially challenging him, plus the 3-handed dynamic favors him more than heads up does.
It's 5:30 AM here, I don't think I can stay up any longer. As I slowly rip in peace, I hope Blumenfield somehow manages to win, even though I know almost for sure McMeme is gonna win this.
GG to all
Lmao look at the state of the autists momdad.
Interbreed much?
How the fuck is the autist hitting something nearly every fucking flop.
Thank fuck Beckley just hit trips.
Can he extract maximum value?
>This autism monologue
Ayyyy lmao
>>63483809
this feels like hollywooding for the cameras rather than trying to get info, I think he'd already decided he was calling regardless.
disgusting flop again
Blumemefield pls
Cold deck?
Not sure it's even possible to win when the guy with the monster chip lead is running like this.
Beckley has a shot, especially if he knocks out Blumenfield
>>63483877
Looking like our only hope so the megaautist3000 doesn't win

I'd just like to remind you this is the reason McKeehen, with all that luck, has been cruising in this tournament.

>>63483932
PH is great, whenever I rage about anything in my life, I make sure to watch one of his outbursts compilation as soon as possible and I instantly feel better about everything.
>>63483966
honestly, I'd rather McKeehen than that fucking loudmouthed crackhead
>>63483966
The hand only played out that way because Schwartz played it like a fish. If he just raises instead open limping, German guy 3-bets, McKeehen folds, Schwartz calls and would end up doubling through the German.
>>63483966
Tbqf to the autist I hated watching Schwarts as well. Shame Turyansky didn't hit a Q on that flop too then both of those fucking smelling beta fags would be out.
>>63483966
>that other guy is an even bigger autist
lel
>>63484003
He was in terrible position though. He limped for the sole purpose of hitting a set.
3 bet....Joe has the same idea...and that trailer trash looking dude looked like he was valued in. Just turned into a sick and very unlikely hand. I'm more impressed by the queens not calling the first all in jam with the higher set behind him.
Why don't the best Poker players like Phil Helmuth, Dan Negraneu, and Phil Ivey ever win the WSOP?

Yeah, that's bad poker. His limping range is literally just small and medium pairs. Good opponents will exploit that all day.

TERRIBLE shove by fedora guy..
He played it like a pair...and you have deuces. Just fold. Pick a better spot.

I miss Schwartz. Final table would be so much funnier if he was there.
Mckeehan always looking like he is trying to start a slow clap.
Lmao at Kara Scott sweating her tits off to get Niel off the air
>>63484164
I play a lot of poker and had a decent bankroll going on fulltilt before that went down.
Also, luck is a big factor here. I'm not saying don't shove with deuces...but pick your spot to where you're at least competitive.
>>63483996
>>63484025
>>63484046
Tbh Schwartz looks like your typical neckbeard basement dweller, but it's evident he just stopped giving a shit and let himself go, but on the other hand he's been through a log of shit in his life from what I've read. He's the kind of player-character/underdog I really like, that could really use the money he'd win. I kind of wanna see him win something big.
>>63484084
Bullshit, I don't get 'ALWAYS playing aggressively'. Sometimes you wanna stick long until the flop at least, you don't have to raise like crazy. McKeehen just happened to feed off the energy of playing at a boring Wednesday night in a casino, and got freakishly lucky.
And don't forget about the pressure of playing in the televised table, with all the lights and shit. Sometimes even extremely experienced players make mistakes. Schwartz is a talent, if he applies himself you'll be talking about him within 2-3 years.
>that dig at Philly's awful sports teams
I like it
That shove with deuces is literally terrible. McKeehen's 3-bet was to like 5.4M or so, Blumenfield only had 11.5 or whatever. Even if McKeehen was 3-betting light, WHICH HE HASN'T BEEN DOING, he would be priced in to call with his A5 or whatever trash. It's gonna be a flip at the very best.
Is this fucking real?
AK?
I mean fucking really?
How mad would you be if the dude you have to come from behind to win sucked out on the river a few days before.
>Flop top 2
>Again
FUCK EVERYTHING
oh fuck off joe
fuuuuuuuuck
>>63484239
Open limping small pairs is terrible. You can disagree, it just means you're bad at poker.
>>63484239
Not reading this argument drama BS, but no, Schwartz will never be a well-known player. Too many tantrums, too unkempt if not downright gross. You ever notice how all the guys who last and are well known are also decent looking?
Even when McKeehen wins this, he'll be quickly forgotten and replaced. They wanted Colman because he's a good looking guy, but he turned all the attention away.
The poker media will find another, better looking alternative to the likes of Schwartz and McKeehen because it has to.
Mckeehen is literally one of us, all this shit talk and self loathing is sad.
>>63484295
This.
McKeehen is NOT a good look for poker.
All fun and games about being autistic aside, he's arrogant and very boring to watch. No aura about him. A very good poker player nonetheless, but a horrible face of poker to showcase to the rest of the world.
Co-champions?
>>63484293
The table was boring and he was OPEN. LIMPING as much as it looked like.
I agree...you fold that shit in middle position in a cash game for sure.
>>63484319
What happened to Helmuth? Did he dieded?
dat 10m raise
>>63484335
All things considered, Hellmuth is a great face for poker. He gets emotional and steams at the table, which the average viewer can relate to, and he doesn't take it away from the table.
He's a clean-cut guy with great insight and knowledge, as well as an overall super friendly demeanor. The Poker Brat persona is just that; a face he wears at the table because it's more marketable.
>>63484335
He's literally there in the studio. Won his 14th WSOP bracelet this year
>>63484295
>>63484319
Yeah, obviously, it's all about the image for the marketing guys, but in the end, it's a poker tournament, not a beauty pageantry. I prefer seeing Schwartz in his sweatsuit and flip-flops than a faggot like Steinberg.
I mean, I could understand you dressing up semi-formally, but why the fuck are you dressing like you're walking down the catwalk for Armani? Is it even comfortable to wear suits during such long sessions?
I'd argue guys like Schwartz and McKeehen aren't necessarily 'bad looking' for the big guys. They promote the idea of being able to become a millionaire no matter who you are, which obviously can bring in more people, and is good for business, long-term.
HOW GOOD DOES THIS FUCKING GUY RUN
>>63484382
like fuckin Allah
>>63484369
They just aren't likeable. Maybe if you are also an autistic neckbeard they give u a glimmer of hope. Or maybe I'm jelous that such complete betas are millionaires and I'm not. And Steinberg was a cool cat, overall nice guy.
ITS OGRE
>>63484369
You're wrong then. A guy like Steinberg is 100x better for poker than a guy like Schwartz or McKeehen. Yes it's a tournament, and yes the best player wins, but you have to look at the bigger picture.
You can't relate to guys like Schwartz and McKeehen. The average viewer doesn't root for them because the average viewer doesn't want to put themselves next to guys like that.
The American dream aspect of poker (anyone can be a millionaire) is much better represented by Moneymaker, who was a regular guy that struck absolute gold without alienating the people who pull for him. Someone like Schwartz or McKeehen just hurts the game overall.
fuckin hate sunglasses guy
Everyone is seeing this for what it is.
This guy is running hot and just calling everyone down.
I've seen one good laydown by him and it wasn't even that strong of a hand.
THIS LARD ASS JUST SAID SUBWAY WAS HIS PREGAME MEAL LOL
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
>>63484239
Schwartz has been around forever idiot
Fuck this. This is a disgrace to poker. This guy is just fucking lucky.
Do guys usually chat this much shit?
>>63484437
.....
TBF, he did just 4-bet with 10 7 or whatever you autists
McKeehen has to be hacking
>Ace-King
Bury me, eternally.
>he plays hearthstone
This shit is just boring..watching this fucker be dealt monsters and hitting them
OH COME ON
This is unbelievable.
I play poker for hours and hours on end and will get lucky to get over 5 pocket pairs and the odd AK, KQ or strong suited connectors.
McKeehen somehow hit AK twice in a row, hits top pair every fucking time.
This is the epitome of running good.
And I hate the fat mong.
Now it could be all over with another excellent hand heads up A10.
God speed Beckley.
GG
HATERS BTFO
>>63484171
McKeehan showed courage after he got knocked out..."We need to bring back online poker", said it right in Jewboy Sheldon Alderson's casino. Of course, a lot of us hope Alderson dies in a grease fire anyway...
God must hate Beckley.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Probably the worst final table since Jamie Gold. At least Fedora was fun to watch.
Fucking luckbox piece of shit
>no celebration
Nobody has ever been this autistic before
>screaming "no runners" again
I might literally quit watching poker because of this fucking autistic rungood piece of shit.
> Wins WSOP ME 2015
> Stands there like a literal autistic piece of shit
Lmao Beckley was like get the fuck away from me you faggot.
love this guy glad he won
>>63484460
They always remove some of the smaller cards at the final table for excitement. The math just doesn't add up.
well that was atrocious, a noob could have won that with that luck. Did he have to make any decision really that wasn't automatic?
He looks like the type of guy who talks about WWE with his friends like its a real sport.
>anyone else wins
>their friends mob them on stage
>McAutist wins
>no bothers to leave their seat
THIS FUCKING FAGGOT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY FRIENDS
>>63484489
>no runners
What did he mean by this?
MOM! NO RUNNERS!! MOOOOMMM LOOK NO RUNNERS. NO RUNNERS!!!!

4chan passes
just imagine this faggot getting interviewed by Jimmy Fallon and shit
That the only people there supporting him are his nearly-dead grandparents (pretty sure one has an oxygen tank) and his alcoholic parents.
This fucking guy does not in any way deserve this money, these congratulations, this status, etc. Holy fucking shit, this sport will never come back to the United States.
>>63484524
Mountain Dew stocks
Lmao that whole presentation was autistic cringe.
'Well done on winning, eh, um, you are the winner'
>>63484395
Federico Butteroni was the best imho desu
>>63484405
But Moneymaker did it, like, 12 years ago. It was unthinkable for an 'amateur' to go head-to-head with the big boys. As the years passed, and onliners started getting event wins, I'd imagine a part of them have become more smug. Understandably, since cynicism is a pretty standard way of answering in our day and age.
Personally, I don't really care about a player being a role model or not, I'm not looking for the 'ambassador of the game' kind of guy. I can relate to literally anyone who wins good money without having much of it beforehand.
I don't care if winners are
He is literally lexplorer
Has a WSOP champion caused as much ass pain before?
>>63484433
Not as a big player
>>63484550
It's not about you though. The winner of the ME is expected to become an ambassador for the game; it was just mentioned in that final interview. McKeehen is objectively terrible for that. Poker as a whole lost tonight, whatever the autist managed to do for himself.
>That entire presentation
Well guys,
Until the next Poker thread in about 8 months time...
Take it easy and don't be as autistic as Joe McKeehen.
>>63484483
Nah... better a fat luckbox neckbeard than a total asshole like Gold was...
>>63484566
Jamie Gold by far
>>63484585
Gold was a degen asshole, but he could at least give a decent interview and act human.
My favorite winner was Greg Merson. He was a good winner
>>63484581
Amazing, isn't it?
Antonio Esfandiari makes us all look like Chads LOL
>>63484585
Saying that it was the worst since Gold DOES mean that Gold was worse.
>>63484569
I just think poker wouldn't be this big (in every term, from money prizes, to number of people playing etc) if guys like McKeehen didn't -among others, different characters- exist
>>63484659
Nobody can relate to McKeehen. He's awful for the game. Period.
I really wanted Pesh and Fedor Holz to make the 9
They were both great to watch
>>63484696
This is correct. It makes the game look more like degeneracy than it already is.
Nice poker threads guys. See you in a year. He's for hoping either Hellmuth, Ivey, or Jamie Gold makes the final table next year for top tier keks
>>63484696
Stop crying about it, Poker is part luck.
>>63484722
So? That doesn't suddenly make him a good face of poker.
He played solid.
Stay mad, neurotypicals.
>>63484719
Add Schwartz in there.
>>63484719
>Jamie Gold
Does he even play anymore? I thought he was confirmed busto.
>>63484738
Yeah but solid play doesn't get you nearly as far as hitting on every flop like he did.
>>63484567
He has been one of the best HU plo players in the world before, has won the Sunday million, etc. He doesnt need to apply himself, he's already a very very very good player and has been for 10 years
>>63484836
More 'oldschool' people like >>63484696 don't give a shit about him, that's what I essentially meant by saying he's not known and he could make a big impression on them.
>>63484743
I've heard that too, I just don't understand how.
I mean I remember there was that deal where he agreed to split the winnings with someone but he still should have walked away from the 06 main event with like $3-4 million.
How do you lose that much playing poker in <10 years?
>>63484937
He lost a million just on High Stakes Poker if I remember right. He was an addict who admitted he didn't enjoy winning. He only enjoyed bluffing.
>>63484954
Also note the capitalization. I mean the TV show, not just standard cash games.
late to the party here... but that final presentation was gross, so much cringing.
Why haven't you got any poker earnings, anon?
>>63485040
Because online players are all loose cannons.
>>63485040
>you will never be an attractive girl who throws sweaty neckbeards off their game by giving them more attention than they've ever had from a woman before
why even live to be honest
>>63484496
As someone who lives and plays poker in Las Vegas, i can tell you that you are completely wrong.
