Have I told you already I love the Main Event? Now I don’t have that much time to watch it at the moment (ánd write a post about it), but I saw the second episode just a couple of minutes ago. And I saw a phenom I simply múst show you.

What makes the Main Event so big? Everybody can win? No, that’s not really true. Sure, everybody can get lucky, but some people are so bad at this game which makes that there’s absolutely no chance for them of winning the whole thing. Some people like John Dodge for example. I mean, what’s the problem of some of these amateurs? OK, you’re playing against some pros in the field (Mike Matusow in this example) and they probably play better than you, but WHY TELL THEM YOUR HAND? Just watch, it begins right from the start:

So Dodge hits Aces up, gives Mike the worst speech in the entire history of poker and then throws in 10k as a really tough guy. How confident can somebody act? I love the Main Event.
