Annoying famous players..

[tetsuo]

Phil Hellmuth Jr. is on your left. He's "frustrated" that his bluffs aren't working ("how can you call me with that?"), he's pacing around, he's lying on the floor groaning. He's whining like a brat.

Mike Matusow is on your right. He either saying how unlucky he is and moping, or in your face BABY. Fist-pumpingly in your face. Ugh.

Phil Laak is opposite you. He has been all-in on you a few times and you suspected he had bupkis, but you just can't get a read on this guy, what with his hooded top pulled all the way over his head. What's worse is the crowd seem to like him..

You've just had your wired aces cracked by another player at the table who caught a miracle card on the river. Your dreams of winning the big one are slipping away..

All of a sudden, all three 'faces' start yapping and doing 'their thing'. Hellmuth tells you you should've known you were beat (!), Matusow is saying 'this is MY year baby', and Laak is behaving like a mental case.

You reckon you have one punch in you before security can restrain you..

Antonio Esfandiari, assuming I spelled that right. That guy seems more annoying than all the others...and I guess sitting near him watching a WSOP final table as he helped a friend of his didn't help my opinion of him.

Matasow, Hellmuth, they are loud, and I am loud. I can handle that. Laak wears a hooded sweatshit...so, I like him.

Irrational? Yes, of course...

Esfandiari is annoying at times, but other times he has alot of class. Laak needs to keep that hood on. He's one geeky looking dude.

Esfandiari annoys me, but I love him because of that WPT event (can't remember which one, but it was series one) where if Phil Hellmuth raised he came right over the top of him absolutely every time. I think he also moved Phil of the best hand (by far) on the river a few times..

Cracking entertainment. They're all great , although "quack quack" X-22 I could probably live without seeing again.

[Mad Genius]

As much as I have respect for Mr. Helmuth's play, I just can't stand the fact that he is constantly in your face about your inadequate play. If he starts yapping about my play too much (and more importantly the play of the big idiots) I think I would have to knock him out cold.
