High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Daniel N. is amazing.

"you you have JJ right?"

Not Antonios night..., AA<JJ earlier and now that river... feels like he is playing above his limits.

Phil, raising A2o again?

Seat Order:

1. Brunson
2. J Harmen
3. Berry G.
4. Phil Hellmuth
5. Johnny Chan
6. Daniel N.
7. Antonio
8. Jerry Buss

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

Antonio's play has been excellent across the board. I honestly thought he was worse than this based on seeing some of his online play (10/25 NL on UB).

Jen Harman saying she'd come down and play NL with Phil any time right at the start of the show was great, too.

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

Wow that JJ KT hand, jesus. That was like the best hand the whole series. Just happened here in central time. Ahmmmmmmmmm

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

Why does Hellmuth make these retarded underbets?

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

Phil, this is not an online tournament.... they wont fold to your little probe bets or what you think are value bets with bottom pair

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

BUSTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

phil plays goot

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

phil needs titan poker

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

2 5 8

Phil: 66

Well I put you on a low pair, 22, 33, 44... now why would you put me all in? Bad logic...

:duh:

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

They won't respect his raises, and he can't move anyone off a hand!

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

"I understand raising or betting as a bluff, but bluff calling?"

-Barry, to Phil


Awesome

Dirty Sanchez Guy: Bla Bla poker
Benza: LOL *nod* *nod* *nod*
DSG: (while flapping his hands) Bla Bla Bla (Insert weak joke here)
Benza: *nod* LOL *nod* *nod* Well good night

Good show, once again Phil gives us entertainment

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

I was laughing so hard I almost cried.

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

Chan telling Helmuth he's not playing an internet tournamnet was the best.

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

Antonio has played some great poker.
Jennifer asked Phil something about tilting and he replied I dont discuss that on TV thanks. Early in he said that.

Phil your entertaining at the best

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

Daniel is pretty amazing. I'm beginning to dislike Gabe "post production expert" Kaplin more and more ("I'm sure Daniels made a lot of good reads in his life, but this is not a particularly impressive one"). Probably not an amazing deduction for Daniel this time, but don't take away from the guys 'mad skillzzz'!

I like Antonio a lot too, he's living the life most young players are dreaming of - and while he may be in over his head here, he is showing a great deal of class:

Daniel to Antonio (re: Phils ranting)
"The difference with what he's had happen to what you had happen: he's outside breaking things and you took two sick beats and you're laughing"

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

Hey, Antonio had to take a powder after his bad beat too.

Yeah i think his table talk was perfect up until the point when he said "I'll show you one after you fold". I think he was folding if he had just stopped talking.

Watching phil first annouce his ace then call 25k with it, then another 40k on the river was fun to watch.

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

That was hilarious.

- jerry ripping on phil, and making lose calls/bluffs in phil's pots. (you know you're the fish at the table when Jerry Buss is mixing it up with you)
- Barry ripping on phil (bluff-call)
- Jen ripping on phil (I'd play NL if you were there)
- Johnny ripping on phil (imagine how long the list would be for that game)
- Danny ripping on phil (to antonio)
- Phil ranting, to antonio: "...and he bluffs me with 7 high....which was good, by the way..."


I've gained a lot of respect for antonio the last two weeks.

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

antonio's play has clearly been 1.4

The difference is that Phil's beats were down to crappy play on his part. That tends to upset me more than a bad beat as well. At least with a bad beat, you have the satisfaction of knowing you played well.

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

how in the world can Phil be this bad at NL poker? Did you see when Barry was whispering to him about "you have to adjust your game" and Phil blows him off?

I'm not a Phil basher, but WOW...am I a fool to want to play him??

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

The funny part is that if at this point he defaulted to his normal tournament game, instead of trying to outplay everyone, he'd probably get paid off a fair amount.

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

I get the sense that this is Hellmuth's normal tournament game.

These underbets by Hellmuth - I love it. Who doesn't love a donkey who is always underbetting at their table trying to be table captain? You can raise on a bluff or raise with the best hand - often the donkey feels like he's being bluffed (because he bet so little) so he doesn't know what to do. This is exactly what happened when Barry had quads against Phil and exactly what happened when Barry had a set against Phil - in tonight's episode, Phil talked a bunch of nonsense like he was bluffing before he bet that flop, but was actually value-betting, then bluff-called all in. From watching this show and some of his online play, it's obvious the guy is a huge fish in anything that isn't a tournament.

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

what station are these shows on?

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

Best episode so far. Antonio plays suprising well.

Hellmuth is great for the show.

Love how table bursts out laughing when barry raises him after he almost gets by the entire table.

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

barry: but why bluff...call
phil: are you talking to me?

tables goes up in an uproar

goddamn i am just dying because barry is laughing and cracking on phil. i mean u know it's great when barry starts taking a jab at you.

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

If a player isn't afraid of Ts but is of Qs perhape he has JJ. Antonio just about showed him his cards it's was about as good a read on PH with the weak A.

I am not imprssed with the play of most of these players but the money is huge. Makes me wonder if this is a real game of some sort of set up TV they are playing like guys who have made a deal for the tournament cash and just playing for fun.

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

Great, great show IMHO. But Waaaaaay to short [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I want More, I want More...hard to take waiting another Week [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

;(

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

I, too, have gained a lot of respect for Antonio, he is showing a lot of class IMO and some fine play...mixing it up and attacking Phil with the 10-5 certainly helped.

Really enjoy watching Daniel (and Jen) play. Great lineup, more, more!

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

this sucks...for whatever dumb ass reason, time warner stopped carrying GSN in my area WTF

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

The Harmon vs Negraneau hand was interesting. I wonder why Daniel raised preflop and then went into check/call mode when he flopped a good hand for that board.

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

I'm just astounded at how badly Hellmuth plays. Those 1/5 to 1/8 pot bets that get nothing done, the constant "never let me win a pot" bitching (why should they when you're so easy to push around anyway?)
I mean, I'm kind of an internet tournament donkey but watching that makes me think I could beat him.

Re: High Stakes Poker - April 03
 

Obviously, since we don't see every hand, this may not be as frequent as it seems, but Daniel seems to call a ton of preflop reraises with marginal to downright bad hands. That 64s hand vs Chan and KTs vs Antonio hand he put himself in awkward positions postflop when he flopped middle or bottom pair. I guess he doesn't want to start folding to reraises so players don't do it more often to him. I won't criticize the style of a world-class player, but I think 99% of poker players would go broke quickly making calls like that.
