mission impossible is one of the best PADs ive seen in a long time...watching mike the mouth trying to beat his pals to finally win his first title is plain old fun TV....clonie is looking real nice with those glasses on.. last nights episode mikes bluff on phil laak i thought was just a bad play on laaks part, i think hes overrated never have seen him done anything really just talk and make jokes but playing wise i dont think hes on the same league as all the others...i hope it comes down to hellmuth and the mouth heads up and mikey finally wins one

I haven't seen this week's show yet but I agree about Phil Laak. When I first got interested in poker, it seemed that Laak was getting a lot of press and I assumed he was a top player. But now I think it's just his antics (and his girlfriend) that get him attention.

Laak is mostly a cash game guy, though. He's done very well there, but is definitely not as accomplished as a tournament player.

"I'm goin' to Jackson, you turn loose'a my coat ..."

Even Laak has said he considers himself a semi-professional poker player, but one cant deny he's fun to watch bantering with everyone. His energy just makes for good poker.

mission impossible week keeps delivering i think ive watched all the episodes so far and this week has been amazing cant believe there are still 2 more left...it is true phil laak HAS been very funny this week not really annoying like he usually is i think his interaction with mike and phil hellmuth has been great i dont think they were together in one of these before but i have seen him on High Stakes Poker and hes definitely not an idiot he can play but hes nowhere near the other top pros cash or tournament and with that act he pulls he should be more relevant as a player....david williams got real mad though he was crushed and they wouldnt run it because they were trying to figure out hellmuths insurance(i dont get wheres the fun in that??¿)
