 The Borgata Poker Tour - Josh Arieh Syracuse Chris Tsiprailidis
Josh raised to $70,000 with 75 of diamonds, Phil reraised all-in for an additional $463,000 with AK of diamonds, David (in the blind) thought about it for awhile and decided to fold pocket tens and of course Josh folded behind him.
Josh thought about it for a second and then said he was going to make a bad call.
It appeared Josh was making a call so he could take it away on the turn, but he should have taken into consideration that he wouldn't be able to take it away on the turn if another club came out.

 PokerPages: Poker Articles By Joel Groover
Josh Arieh was mostly upbeat when I interviewed him for a profile about a month before the 2004 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
Arieh is late for our post-WSOP interview and a bit harried, having spent all day at an Atlanta BMW dealership, where he bought his wife a brand-new X5.
For Arieh, one of the best things about the $2.5 million purse is that it will allow his wife Angela to leave her job as a paralegal and spend more time with their children, Emily, 2, and Sierra, 11.

Those who know Arieh best, and know him both as a friend and an adversary at the poker table, generally believe he got tarred and feathered by an ill-timed episode which is neither reflective of his true attitudes nor ordinary conduct at the poker table.
With a difference of $95,000 at stake (between 3rd and 2nd) Arieh could afford to be the bully and watch Ferguson and Graham hopelessly squirm in their seats, hoping to leapfrog the other into 2nd place.
Arieh bet out, Ferguson raised to 200,000 with a lower heart draw and Arieh re-raised enough to put Ferguson ‘all in.’ Ferguson was drawing nearly dead — as only a 10 could save him.

 Josh Arieh - Oddjack
Josh has had some very outstanding posts in our absence: his wife took him to a birthday dinner, a heartfelt message to his fans, followed up by an off-the-handle rant that was vintage Bon.
Josh was just looking over at Erick like, “What the?” He wasn’t saying anything to Matt, he wasn’t going off on him or anything like that, but they used that shot to make Josh look even worse.
Arieh to go all mobster on the gent, however, a snappier more masculine verbal comeback should surely be in his arsenal the next time a tax-paying citizen wants to verbally jostle him.

Josh held 9 10 of hearts, the other person held AJ O.S., and the flop I believe was A K(h) Q(h) giving Josh a straight, flush, and straight flush draw, and the other man top pair with a jack kicker.
Josh was on a draw the whole time, HE is the one who I would react that way to.
Arieh was playing incredibly aggressive and he was mouthy a couple of times before that when he got lucky and busted a couple of other players.

Team Bodog.com member Josh Arieh is seen as something of a bad-boy of poker, his reputation stemming largely from a couple of well-publicized incidences that occurred during his third place finish at the 2004 World Series of Poker Main Event.
It turns out Day 2 was a fortuitous day to talk to Arieh, as he left our interview and headed straight to the felt, where he mopped the floor with his opponents for six levels and nearly twelve hours of poker.
Arieh started comfortably in the upper half of the field, but by day's end had amassed almost $350,000 in chips and was battling for a share of the chip lead.

Arieh's analysis of the 2004 event was both humble and incisive.
Arieh and Lindgren are close, indeed; Arieh stayed at Lindgren's Las Vegas home for two months, during both the Bellagio tournament and right on through the World Series.
As for the money, even though Arieh said he wasn't there for ladder climbs, that wasn't because he was wealthy (although with this big score, his wife has now quit her job).

 Josh Arieh: Hero-Worshipping 101 - Oddjack
Josh Arieh, our giant-nippled poker playing hero(and TWO-time WSOP bracelet winner) has posted about his golfing expedition yesterday and, as we adequately predicted, the “hero” was none other than NBA basketball legend(and six-time NBA champion) Michael Jordan.
The two superior athletes did get a chance to meet and shake hands, but Arieh is still hoping for the opportunity to play a round with MJ on Saturday.
But should that event actually take place, we are very certain that Arieh’s slice will be monumental due in part to the incredibly obscene boner he’ll be saddled with in Jordan’s presence.

Josh shouldnt have been such an asshole to Harry D, but ESPN does show a very biased view of all of the hands.
One hand Josh was outplayed by a guy who had a set, josh went all in with an open ended straight draw, and when he hit it on the river he seemed ashamed that he won the hand...
If anyone wants to critizise Josh, then critisize Phil because he still surpases Josh by a mile in how cocky he is. Ofcourse that does not diminish how great he is but were talking about attitude.
