\"Official\" High Stakes Poker Season 3 (Week of 1/22)
 

It's on. Look's like same lineup as last week. If the preview is correct, someone will replace Ramdin in this episode. DN has quads on the first hand.

Did he get drawn out on by a straight flush?

does it start at 7 pac time?

Re: \"Official\" High Stakes Poker Season 3 (Week of 1/22)
 

Doyle complains about extending Jamie Gold credit. Interesting.

Or was he complaining about giving credit to Mike Matasow? Either way, interesting.

Umm, why did Game Show Network just cut to an infomercial halfway through the broadcast?

Re: \"Official\" High Stakes Poker Season 3 (Week of 1/22)
 

Let's go Gabe!!

Edit: Damm that sequence was weird, but all too funny

Re: \"Official\" High Stakes Poker Season 3 (Week of 1/22)
 

Isn't this week 2 now?

Re: \"Official\" High Stakes Poker Season 3 (Week of 1/22)
 

Yes this is week 2 of season 3.

Gold being quite the calling station still.

He's down like ~60K now right?

Re: \"Official\" High Stakes Poker Season 3 (Week of 1/22)
 

lol, Gabe just got 1k in dollar bills so he could have some cash on the table.

EDIT: Gabe rules!!!!! Just bluffed Chen out of a pot and showed it.

This has been the case the last two weeks for me as well and it's starting to piss me off. I'm contacting them about this right now, you should do the same.

I'm pretty sure that was the worst episode ever.

Re: \"Official\" High Stakes Poker Season 3 (Week of 1/22)
 

oh god I with Gabe had shown Matusow the KK [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I was confused about what happened. Did Mike want to loan Jamie 50k then have the table extend him 50k in credit to play behind? That's what it sounded like and what Doyle got mad about but Doyle had no issue with everyone at the table each spotting Jamie an equal amount. I was confused so if anyone has some insight I'd love to know more.

Re: \"Official\" High Stakes Poker Season 3 (Week of 1/22)
 

Dunno, but I thought it was hilarious when Mike asked if he could play behind and Doyle was like, "hell no! what are you, nuts?" I thought that was a reflection of Mike's credit rating. Or, if the comment was directed at Gold then it was a comment on Gold's credit rating. Either way, pretty cool.

That's why there's horse racing. I thought it was one of the best. I really enjoyed it. Doyle's domination of Gold, the table talk was great, Kaplan playing and bluffing, Negraneu announcing, the whole credit bit with Matasow and Gold. No major hands, but great entertainment.

I thought it was more that Doyle was pissed off at the implicit extension of credit. Whoever first asked, then Matusow just said he was. I think Doyle just wanted it clear that if anyone was playing behind everyone at the table had to vouch for their share.

Seems reasonable.

And I loved the episode, although it would have been 100x better if Gabe had shown the kings.

has this made it to Youtube yet?

That would have been great. Get the Mouth steaming.

Re: \"Official\" High Stakes Poker Season 3 (Week of 1/22)
 

After so many months of anticipation, this season has started off horribly. That was probably the dullest episode of all time.

That's the way I read it- Doyle didn't want to risk taking down the Mouth and being stuck with a $50K marker from Mike. I thought his later counter-offer confirmed that, since it spread the risk while getting an extra $50K on the table.

Are you serious? I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, getting Gabe into the game, the situation with Mike/Jamie/Doyle over playing behind, it was very entertaining.

Re: \"Official\" High Stakes Poker Season 3 (Week of 1/22)
 

Anybody think that Gabe has an edge here? He's been sitting in the booth seeing how people are playing, now he should be able to use that information at the table.

I bet that's why Daniel wanted to switch places.

I hope this isn't a serious comment.

The "booth" is just post-production commentary.

Quite true. I'm sure the whole thing was set up long before Kaplan and Benza ever started reviewing the tapes of the episodes for commentary.

Meanwhile, I agree that this season hasn't started off too well. Things have to pick up, though, as players get the feel for the table and start to loosen up. I'm sure this will be especially true in later episodes when some of the other players get in. This crew seems more interested in face time in front of the cameras than they do in winning money. That can't be good for the game.

Re: \"Official\" High Stakes Poker Season 3 (Week of 1/22)
 

Matusow is trying way too hard to market himself this season.

Re: \"Official\" High Stakes Poker Season 3 (Week of 1/22)
 

Ugh, I hated that Gabe coming out of the booth gimmick and Daniel commentating.

In the middle of the episode this blazing hot cocktail girl walks by and Sheikhan says something like "how you doin'" ; quite funny.

Re: \"Official\" High Stakes Poker Season 3 (Week of 1/22)
 

This was my favorite episode so far. I like seeing the WSOP champ getting pushed around, everyone taking shots and Mike and now that Gabe is playing it should get more entertaining

To The Gold Defenders,

Have you reevaluated your position after this episode? Gold instacalls a c/r of over $26k on the turn, then thinks and folds the river. How do you justify that hand?

Re: \"Official\" High Stakes Poker Season 3 (Week of 1/22)
 

I think Gold keeps trying moves that work against weak players, but fail miserably against good players.

Re: \"Official\" High Stakes Poker Season 3 (Week of 1/22)
 

The poker I liked.....and I'm usually very tolerable with the antics. But it seemed like they did the set up of Gabe coming in to play for 7 minutes. Then the rest of the show were all these little comments about it.

I thought Gabe played good and showing the bluff against Chen was nice. I also wished he showed Mikey the KK hand.

Re: \"Official\" High Stakes Poker Season 3 (Week of 1/22)
 

I realize that you have to mix up your play a LOT against these guys, but open-limping with K5 suited, and then being the lone caller of a raise when you're OOP? Huh?

Are the fundamentals of a few of these players that bad?

Re: \"Official\" High Stakes Poker Season 3 (Week of 1/22)
 

Chen is so predictable with his big continuation bets, that I would think he would be a target for these guys. But it was a great episode, though I agree some of the theatrics took away from the poker. Hopefully it settles down a bit next episode.

Btw, I don't think you can give Gold enough credit to say those moves work against weak players. The way he played the KJ hand is bad by any standard, but you had to love Doyle setting him up by checking to him.

I think he wanted to show the table a little unconventional play for meta game reasons (and to show off for the camera).

Didn't he call the river after thinking for about a minute? If he'd folded then it would have been a good laydown.
