I just heard that Hoyt is going to be on ESPN on March 24th and 26th for the US Poker Championship filmed at the Taj Mahal last fall.

I have seen Hoyt play before in the Horseshoe in Tuninca, MS, a total gentleman and ambassador of the game. The world needs more poker players like him. He is old school poker revisited, let your game speak for itself and be a human being at and away from the table. This guy is a personal favorite of mine and I am sure he will continue to be successful in the future.

I agree he is a great player. But I don't understand the one (televised) horrible play he made at the US Poker Championship: Hoyt was third in chips at the final table, right behind John D'Agostino, and he moves his whole stack all in against the blinds with 87o. He is risking his whole stack for the blinds, and he is close to second in chips! He is begging for a call if anyone has a pocket pair or even AK, AQ, etc. D'Agostino immediately calls with 1010, and he is a 4-1 favorite! The flop comes rag 77, and the turn another 7! I could not believe it...D'Agostino had such a great chance to win the whole thing even without that hand, and this completely took him out. Hoyt became chip leader, and later went out in third. This single play made me rethink just how good Hoyt is...

This guy is the best. if he's so bad why is he one of the last 10 in just about every tournament? I dont know how many he has won, but i see more of him than your man hellmuth. If they could create a new poker game, by which people complain, well phil would be champion again.

D'Agostino should have read T.J. Cloutier's book. If T.J. was in John's position as chip leader he would have been playing aces and not much else until the table got cut down to 4 players or so, even if it meant he temporarily lost the chip lead. Sure, he took a bad beat, but he took one when he didn't need to be playing.

hoyt corkins is a chaser

He has only one move - "All-in"

Luck is shortterm...(thankfully so is bad luck).. I felt really bad for John D'Agostino... I mean what crushing luck... He played well with his big stack, just ran into some really bad luck. Hoyt, what a joke... he's almost in command and throws it all away on 7 8 offsuit... I never had any respect for that clown.. and I cheered when he got trapped by the trip Jacks... Take that!

D'Agostino's tantrum after getting beat on the flop was funny. I think he may have cried after he threw his chips across the table.

I watch Hoyt play on the internet. He loses a lot.

look this doesnt rely on his skill as much as he does on luck and chance. if he could out play anyone he wouldnt go all in every hand possible. His style is like half of the internet poker community's i.e. get out played then go all in and force a better to fold

this is another player who just goes all in everytime, play real poker

I beat him soo badly, he was trying to pawn his hat to me.

I think too many of you are jealous of Hoyt. I have met him. He's really nice, and he REALLY knows poker. Not to mention, he has a great looking woman. She is H-O-T-T! Man, I love redheads. Go Hoyt!

This guy owns. Simple pure ownage. He made Ibrahim his puppy in the Foxwood finals and I'll never forget that!

For all you critics of Hoyt's play and style, I just want to know how my money you've won,how many tournaments, and how long you've made a living at playing poker? Hoyt has alot more moves than just all in. Alot of poker is instincts as well as playing the odds. Until you've played at the level Hoyt plays at, then stop your critizing...... at his level of playing you have to take gambles. If you only play th quality hands, you will never win, because quality hands are few and far between....and any high level tournament player knows that. It's all about position, timing, playing your opponent. Sometimes it just simply doesn't matter what cards you have.....it's all in how you play them. Hoyt does that very, very well.

I had a ball & learned alot about playing poker when travling with hoyt for 2 years.

one of the best.

God what a Redneck. Go eat some catfish billy bob.

yeah someone does have something on hellmuth, Chan and Brunson have 10 bracelets

God what an idiot. HEY I GOT 7-8o and in the small blind! WHAT A GREAT HAND! AN 8 HIGH!!!AGAINST AN AVERAGE HAND I SHOULD HAVE A 35% WINNING CHANCE!! LET'S GO ALL IN EVEN THough I am 3rd in chips. It's sweet! O well Who cares if i lose .. It's only a major tournament.. Oh know! He has 10-10. I am officially a redneck dumbass. My dad shot Peter Fonda in EASY RIDER. Yay!!!

I love how every time someone critisizes a pro's stupid mistake, some other idiot breaks out the "how much have you won" spiel. Hoyt Corkins is a good bluffer and an okay player. But he is also a hick, cornpone, honky-tonk, pickup driving redneck. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing, but don't expect everyone to be blown away by the "greatness" of this shit-kicker.

you want me to push my chips to you here you go stack them up yourself -----lovrd it

yee haw i would smokes yalls. yessum i would. id squish yall like a possum under my tractor tires. Oh i hears my sister calling ima gonna have me a doozie of a time tonight. itsa ours anniversary. yehaw

Hoyt, I have been watching you the last 2 years and you are doing great. You make the Class of 1978 proud. Give me a call -deleted-.

love watching the cowboy play

this guy sucks

an idiot. But fun to watch. Slipped up BIGTIME when he moved in on JDags, who had a high pocket pair, then drew runner-runner 7's for trips when he moved in with 87off. Crippled JDags but was hysterical to watch. Later Hoyt said, "I hate that kid. His head is shaped weird anyway. Looks like an alien. I was glad to cripple an alien today. My name's Hoyt, and I play cards."

southernbelle's a fucking idiot. the reason none of us have won WPT titles is because we don't have $10,000 on us to enter. if i entered all the tournies hoyt's hick ass was in then the sun would shine on my ass certain days too.

I just wanted to say that Hoyt makes watching Poker all the more fun, he plays great, he has a great poker face and I just admire him all around. I search my cable for poker tournaments just to see if hes in one thats on. Good luck in all your tournaments Hoyt.

I agree with Tina Turner......."Your simply the best"

Hoyt is my poker hero. My goal is to become the best poker player I can possibly be and I hope that is at least a tenth as good as Hoyt. He is the consummate professional. He never whines or berates other players. He lets his skills do all the talking.

How can you sponsor a Poker site called Poker Host when this site is very slow to pay you, and they only allow you to withdraw a max of 2500 a day, and if you want to withdraw 2500 and next day guess what? they charge you a 10% fee (250.00) What a RIPP OFF so Hoyt you became part of this cant beleive it.

what about satellites? the WSOP winners now are almost all satellite winners. They have satellites for the WPT.
