No doubtng he"s a talent at the tables but he comes across as a cocky twat. Thing is even if he didn"t have the success and money, was hanging round street corners wid his homeyzhed atoll be acting in the same manner being loud and obnoxious. If I had his money and success at such a young age I"d be a cock too.

I can understand the cap thong though. You think they"d tell hellmuth to remove his cap or Doyle to take his Stetson off. Unless it had something offensive on it which is more than likely

Like most other kids like  him i"m sure he"ll grow out of it.

Perhaps he can play heads-up at home with Scouse until next season.

His interview in Poker Player Magazine made me cringe to be honest, not a very nice person at all

Am I the only one that thinks he says 90% of what he does for effect rather than actually meaning it? Yes hes is a bit of a plum but hes just cultivating an image to market. Lets face it there is always a market for a villain and as much of a plum as he maybe the fact he has people talking about him, over and above players who maybe better or more successfull than him just shows what he is doing is working.

Everyone loves a villian, Hellmuth, Tony G etc,

However i think that there is a big difference between those guys and schwartz as they appear to be generally nice guys away from the felt, where as Mr Schwartz appears to be a A*** away from the tables aswell, regardless if it is all an act

He did come across as a bit of a bell on full tilt poker late night on Channel 4 tonight. But quite a likeable on this showing imo, seemed quite polite (by his standards) to an internet qualifier when he induced her to go all in with 86s v his Q rag blind on blind. Think most of us would expect some bullcrap out of him in this scenario so fair do"s to him.

The rest of it was cringe worthy but i say gg to him sir

He gave his opponents so much information with his poor speech play he might as well have put his cards open for all to see. He just seemed like an imature fish running good with the sharks, but then maybe thats an act to get his edge. Was good to see a heads up that meant more than the game itself on Late Night Poker, although still hoped Andy would knock him out. lol.

I think dave figured he was priced in even if he did have his A dominated or he only had one overcard. You have to remember that the structure of these tournies means that late on, once you have raised, its very difficult to get away from any hands, even marginal ones.

Yeah i agree but if thats the case i wouldnt have expected dave to think as long as he did, wouldnt have looked as bad if hed called fairly quickly but after luke bascally told him what he had i think he could/should have folded

If you have ever played on the same table as EL Blondie you would know he takes forever over any decision. He"s like the Steve Davis of poker.  ;)

 I cant even understand why you guys discuss so much about this show, (or other shows like it)  dont you ever notice how it comes up 24th hand, when we have only seen 3 hands so far. and how come the chip descrepencies are so massive all the time. Basically im saying that its edited so much, that theres no point discussing it to each other. We dont get to see the real poker.

If you want to watch real poker in action, then just watch High stakes, or Poker after dark. proper players, who are not playing for TV time, and it actually shows every hand.
