3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

I was wondering if anyone knew what players to expect on tonight's episode. I guess this can be turned into the comment thread after it airs tonight. Be as it may.

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

I don't think they'll change players again.. So like last week among others there will be:
Phil Laak
Mike Matusow
Daniel Negreanu
and a few more..

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

I dont think there are any new players, I WANT PHIL IVEY

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

i could have sworn i heard them say ivey and antonius would be in it last week, i heard him say this a few weeks ago and they were not, this needs to happen soon

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

I think that the Ivey-Benyamine-Booth table will be shown in the last 4 episodes.

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

Last 4 episodes of the season?

I remember hearing this also. I believe they said it two weeks ago, implying that, as you said, they would appear on last week's episode.

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

Is this just filmed over a couple of days or something (seem to remember Daniel Negraneu saying something about this in a magazine interview)?

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

How long do you think it takes to record it?
They come back a week later to finish thier session?
HAHAHHA

A lot of you guys are going to be very dissapointed when Ivey doesn't bluff four opponents while holding three-high, levitate the table with his penatrating glare, and cause all the cocktail waitress to do stripteases for him.

I think a more realistic expectation for Ivey's play on the show is that he'll sit there quietly most of the time, maybe talk a bit about golf, bet middle or bottome pair and get some tight player to fold top pair/weak kicker, and cause all the cocktail waitress to do stripteases for him.

I'm fine with this.

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

.
I dont care about big plays l, I care about nice plays, and good plays.
I want to see a bunch of +EV plays regardless of how small the pot or what the cards are, and I think Ivey picks some good spots and makes +EV plays and therefor I want to watch him.
He isnt stacking off like Eli or Harman, and he isnt check calling with AK twice and checking the 2nd nuts on the river or checking a full house on the end like harman did and tilly did on PAD.
I like watching him cause him > life > you

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

looks like DN's trying to be a liiiiiittle too tricky. With this group, I wouldnt be limping too much with BPP's.

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

someone needs to explain to me why Harmetz called that flop raise/overcall....also, why did the producers let him and Shak on the show? Such boring players w/ zero imagination.

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

Am I the only one who wished Mike would have stacked DN?

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

LOL. Dan Harmetz is such a GD NIT.

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

who the [censored] are these new players and why should i care

I agree. Its always entertaining to see Mike go busto.

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

DN said in his blog some time ago that the last lineup on this season was the toughest table he had ever played on.. all top pros.. looking forward to this!

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

shak is a moody, sensitive, little bitch.

edit: it was a good play, but i think he is just making moves because he always looks angry haha.

another edit: he's still horrible

a 9 on the river would have been horrible for you daniel...

1 minute later...yeah, that 9 would have been horrible for me...

Do you see his face? He makes plays just because he's angry. He was pretty much taunting daniel saying "what did i have?"

nice check raise to represent the flush. excellent play if he was looking to get a call!

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

very impressed with Shaks c/r there....didnt think he had it in him.

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

and how bad was that check by Laak? he beats almost EVERYTHING that Antonio was holding. Was he that afraid of QT gut shot, or baby set? come on!

I agree. He played the hand horribly and got lucky. Gotta love this game.

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

Agree. A 15,000 dollar bet likely gets called by Antonio.

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

antonio tiiiiiiilt!

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

LOL @ Gabe:

"One has a hot Hollywood girlfriend... and the other goes to massage parlors."

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

LOL
AJ-Why did Dan Shak raise there?
GK-I have no idea.

What a horrible play. Like Gabe said, if you want to rep. the flush I think youve gotta raise more. Like waaay more.

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

The best part of this entire episode was the preview of next week and knowing that all of these turds will finally be gone and I will start caring about paying attention to the show again.

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

anyone else feel like that last hand with Laak and Antonio was a case of extreme softplay? How does PL not raise the river against AE? Give me a break.

i had to change my pants after i saw that lineup

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

Did anyone else get annoyed @ Gabes commentary...

Was that fold with tt on all diamond 78J(?) flop that bad?

For that price, against those players, yes. IMO.

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

I wish they would show graphics on this show telling how much each player has in their stack and how much they are up or down for the session. Is there a reason they don't do this? It seems like an obvious addition.

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

if they showed stack amounts it would betray the fact that they don't broadcast every hand played. Seems they like to keep the wizard hidden behind the curtain.

Hahaha, yeah, Gabe burned Mike several times in the last like 20 minutes of the show. Loved it.

Re: 3/19/07 --- High Stakes Poker ----
 

DNs JJ and QQ were pretty gross, I liked his flat call with 97 though that was pretty good play.

Esfandari is getting unlucky like usual, and the new players are pretty nubtastic.
