How anyone can not like Sami and Eli is beyond me. They are the guys that drive the game. The game would be a total snooze without them. And you have to allow them to do business which in the long run is definitely good for the game as they happily keep putting their money in.

Way too much table talk going on though. One to a hand...please! These guys know better.

LOL @ Phil Helmuth bragging about his history of gambling

LOL @ Mike Baxter destroying the game with the NL50 moves

LOL @ the hour long phill-helmuth-sam-farha run-it-twice discussion

LOL @ this rather actionless episode compared to the the beginning of the season. where is all the action, 2-7 game, phil hellmuth steams etc. rather boring episode in comparison

LOL @ Sammy farha/Eli tightening up the game so much that it becomes boring

LOL @ Phil Helmuth "trapping" with ATo

Are we watching the same show? Tightening up the game? Has Helmuth reraised with A/10 in his life?

Mike Baxter looked like he was playing well, well see in the next couple of episodes because Mike Matusow said he would lose some pots in the next one. Farha is playing the same way he always plays, 8 pros someone has to lose some money. I recall negreanu losing a lot in the one of the first two seasons when he bought in for a million.

Every pro played badly. These guys should be embarrased to be called poker players. When I watch HSP I usually cover up the hands so I can guess by their play. I am correct 90% of the time (because a few times I didn't get the suits). My .10/.25 game online destroys this. Every hand consists of bad raise, bad call, bad bet, bad fold, bad beat. BRING BACK PHIL IVERY
