Re: Players for High Stakes Poker Second Season Announced
Too bad about Greenstein and Forrest. Everyone else is right, Johnny Chan really added nothing to the game. However one player that I don't think anyone has mentioned and I felt played superb poker was Freddy Deeb. Could Deeb and Chan both have removed themselves because of the 'going south' incident? Chan was a humorless nit - I always thought Freddy was funny and livened up the game.
Obviously I will miss the Hellmuth donk-bet.
Matusow and Laak I'm not thrilled to see - the addition of all these tournament players could be good for the action. Still, I can't imagine they're properly rolled for a game like this, so they might play very tight, Matusow excepted because he's a true degenerate.
