I could not agree more. If I'm ever fortunate enough to final table at any wsop event, my rail will have strict instructions not to cheer at all.

Farber is the chip leader.....gotta be exciting to be on top of all those pros at the biggest poker table in the world. If I was in that seat I would be shaking like a dog ****ting a peach pit.

This is sure exciting! It is my first time watching the World Series. I can not think what it would be like for these guys. I get nervous when it is on the money bubble in a Cardschat freeroll and I could never be able to handle this sorta pressure. It has been an amazing game!
I just upgraded my cable this week and I am able to see it on tv right now. I am even skipping watching TheVoice tonight for this roflmao

Well, of course everyone's entitled to their opinion and I respect yours, but perhaps instead of jumping the gun and "already imagining" what my essay was about and what I probably said, you should've read it and then commented.
It just so happens that my reason has nothing to do with the fact he's American and nothing to do whatsoever with any sort of fallout as to whether poker will boom or not as a result of him potentially winning.
In short, you would've seen that my reason for rooting for Jay Farber was not at all what you opined about. I do think you'll actually agree and respect my point of view as to why all of us recreational players here at CardsChat should have Jay's back.
And Dakota - thanks for reading and for your supportive feedback
Jay's currently in 2nd place.... LET'S GO JAY!!!

With Farber in the lead going into heads-up play tomorrow, it looks like my words may have been prophetic!

Another reason to root for Farber: if he wins and reignites another surge of interest in poker like Moneymaker did, this may very well cause enough momentum to get OLP legalized nationwide.

I couldn't hang in much past McLauglins demise.
Thanks for that easy update link lulu.
IMHO, the blind structure at the FT needs changing, like instead of relatively small incremental increases in the blinds, they should change to a much faster structure.
5 hours of 6 handed play is absurd. It mirrors nothing that most players will find anywhere else in the world.
Personally from a TV viewers POV, I did not like the loud rail, since I watched it alone, and had to be concerned with Mrs DJ and her hearing issues (she can complain about the TV accross the street! ) I had to keep the volume almost too low for me to hear. However, I can see the value of a loud active rail for the players. That rail often looked to be a catalyst to wake up the players.
Pretty sure Loosli was nodding most of that 6 handed marathon.
I would also prefer seeing the cards in play during the hand rather than after the hand. There was a (I thought I heard Lon say 15 minute) delay and that should have been enough to protect the action during any particular hand.
However, these are just my petty dislikes of what is obviously a huge event which I watched till my brain couldn't process anything else for the night.

I think you can watch it if you can get WATCH ESPN online. They had the replay available for viewing early. Better start now if you want to see it all before tonight starts it is that long. I think you have to be a paid cable subscriber that has ESPN on your cable TV to get it online.
