Cardplayer the circuit - Gavin Smith vs. Mike The Mouth

[mephisto]

You know what. I've changed my mind on Sebok, I found the latest Hoyt Corkin's episode quite entertaining. The trio really works out for Gavin, he seems to be more comfortable, pressure is off of him and he has talked more about poker in the last 2 episodes than he has in the last 10.

Some breaking news:

On tonight's episode of "The Circuit", Scott Huff remarked that Smith and Sebok would be made "official co-hosts forevermore" and that Matusow would probably be demoted to shorter segments on the side, if that.

I think it's a good thing. Originally I got a kick out of the Mouth – partly due to some spilled-over sympathy about how he went down in the '05 WSOP – but the way he sidelines guest after guest after guest with the same tiresome, miserable garbage about his life makes me want to, um, kick him in the mouth. He's also been reluctant to show up regularly, so it's probably the best for all concerned to bring some fresh troops in.

It sounds to me like Huff, Smith and Sebok are definitely starting to gel, and I'm glad this arrangement has been made semi-official.

I find Sebok and Huff very entertaining, and I don't find Gavin as entertaining, but I think he gives the most solid advice/analysis... so it's a good chemistry.

I enjoyed Matusow the first few times, but now he was just getting completely tired and annoying. I started groaning every time I saw he was doing the next one, and excited to hear the current duo.

Gavin is way better....
when Mike is there, I can't hear anything, except bitching

I like listening to Mike, like that time he was talking about how Antonius was such a donkey.

But then there was this thing where this 2-5 NL (I think) live player asked for advice on what level to play (based on his bankroll), and Matusow said something ridiculous like he should play 10-20 with $4k roll or something along those lines.

Matusow is a clown. A pathetic clown at that who whines about everything and everyone because of his insecurities. I can't say I really want to listen to that on a regular basis. Smith is OK but kind of a whiner himself. But he is not as bad as Mike and gives props where they are due. Between these two it is definitely Gavin as the preferred choice.

mike and some guests are the only good things about that show

gavin is very "regular" and sometimes boring. I don't think he adds that much to the show. Sebok is more entertaining...but honestly the Mouth was the most entertaining piece to the show. What do you guys think about their advice? Sometimes I roll my eyes over how terrible some of the stuff they say..and this coming from a massive donk.

I prefer Smith > Matusow, but the show is really better with both Smith and Sebok.
