Michael Odeh proves once again he is an idiot

Now he isn't a household name but I had the unfortunate experience of playing about 5 hours with this guy at the Rincon prelim event this past March. We both made the final table him finishing I think 9th and me 7th. He was a jerk who kept apologizing (seriously like 5-6 times) to the table about his antics saying it is just an act blah blah blah. He got lucky early in the tourney when I called his all in with QQ and he had 88 and spiked an 8 on the river. Another time he slow rolled Aces when a guy trying to make a move went all in. He thought about it for at least 30 seconds making a speech he only looked at one card and that was why he was the initial raiser.

Anyways just a dumbass and he displays his dumbassness again when he doesn't know who Hank Azaria is. I mean he may not be the most household name but the guy has been acting and doing voices for years. Maybe I'm being too hard on the guy or maybe I just wanted to flame him for the world to read or least our 3 fans out there who read this but he is one annoying jerky poker player.


Craziness at Table 127
Kevin "Lucko" O'Brien takes a big hit down to $7,200 when his opponent flops Quads.

Shortly afterwards, Hank Azaria raises to $600 in middle position. Pete "The Beat" Giordano, raises him to $1,600. When the action gets around to Azaria, he re-raises to $5,600. Giordano immediately goes all-in and has Azaria covered. Azaria has $2,900 left, and he asks Giordano if he has Aces. Giordano says he doesn't know, but that he would like Azaria to stick around for awhile. Azaria is torn on his decision. He already has about 2/3 of his chips in the middle, but he hesitates to make a decision. The cameras swarm around him, and he eventually folds the KK face up. Giordano tells him he made a good decision, and turns over the AA. Michael Odeh, who is one table over, comes over to tell him what a great laydown he made. Someone tells Odeh that even celebrities can play, considering Rene Angelil made the same laydown earlier in the day. Unfortunately, Odeh doesn't know who Azaria is, and asks for his credits. Azaria doesn't seem to be in the mood, but he does a few voices from The Simpsons, including Chief Wiggum and Moe Sizlak.

The next two hands, Azaria takes down both pots and builds himself right back up to $5,000 in chips.
