Alaei plays like I do when I'm playing bad.

Raise, donk calls like usual. Auto cbet with a hand that can't handle much action vs a player who is never folding or is looking for a way to pick up the pot, even if doesn't make sense.

Then give up when donk inevitably donk bets.

When I took a poll asking people whose NL game they respected most after watching the first 2 seasons of High Stakes Poker, the results went:

1. Antonio Esfandiari
2. Ted Forrest
3. Doyle Brunson

Should be interesting to see how people's opinions are adjusted now that we will see Antonius, Townsend, Dags and Ivey for the first time, as well as more than a hand or two from Brad Booth.

This reminds me though... why would Ted choose to sit out this season?

This was probably the most boring episode of all. Very dry episode pokerwise, no interesting hands.

Sorta interesting they don't try to work any women into the game. I know Jen played once in a previous season, but still. I'd think they'd try to at least sit a single woman at the table.
