I enjoyed the show to.

Did you notice the big hands early on that clashed against each other, like J J vs K K, AA vs KK when Sexton folded A 10? A number of the players were saying what the heck is going on with these big hands running into each other.

I found it kind of funny because if you play online its this way all the friggin time.

How about the brilliant play by the donk who reraised Mike Sexton's ep raise with 9 4 off only to find out Sexton puts him all in with pocket Queens? Ooops. Guess it would be good if the 9 4 donk had taken a moment to consider who had raised from ep. Or does knowing your players not come to mind for some of these moron's?

Sexton is well known for being a tight but solid player and is definately NOT the type of player who's going to raise from ep or any possition without having some sort of hand. Yet our fearless donk, (fearless in this case = moronic idiot) never hesitates to call off another 100k in chips, which put him all in, when Sexton reraises the donk's raise.

I loved it when the entire table said, "Ooop's" upon seeing donkey boy turn over 9 4, and laughed at poor idiot donkey boy.

An equally classic comment came from a fellow donk at the table when he said, hey it's not over donkey boy is well known online for pulling out hands like this then going on to win tournaments.

But much to the two donks amazement no miracle straight hit him on the flop. No runner runner suck out came to save him and his 9 4 off, No four card flush hit the board to bail him out and send him on to the win. In fact NO help at all came for donkey boy as he had to tuck his tale and leave busting out in 9th place after pushing all in with 9 4 off.

Damn there's definately something wrong with live poker when 9 4 off cant beat pocket Queens.

Another great and classic comment came from Patrick Antonious when the crowd and table gave donkey boy a round of applause to send him off. Patrick gave two weak claps then said, "There's no way that kid deserves applause for that horrible play".

A satelite is a low buy in tournament where the winner/s win an entry into a bigger money buy in tournament. Most larger sites have some sort of satelite for the wsopk, and wpt, and ept and so on, as well as satelites for their own major tournaments.

For example if you play at pokerstars you can bring up the Sunday Million tourney and click on satelites for this tourney and enter one of those. You can also go to the main lobby and click on tournaments then click on satelites and this will show you several satelite tournaments for various mtt the sites are running. Also click on the "special" section of the tournaments loby to see the various special events a site is having satelites for.

It just takes a bit of looking.
