"Official" High Stakes Poker Season 3 (Week of 1/15)

[LandonM]

Worst call ever by Sheikhan with those 7's to a reraise by Matusow. I'm sitting here going "OK, the flop will come, Matusow will raise no matter what it is, and unless Sheikhan sucks out trips, he's going to fold, even if it's a perfect flop for his 7's."

And what a shocker, that's what happened.

His weak-tight, pathetic style is such that he doesn't have the sack to fire a bullet if he doesn't hit his trips and will lay it down to any raise no matter what comes.

Whenever he gets smallish pocket pairs, he may as well just fold them if he can't limp with them. He doesn't have the balls to play them.

Is Gold the huge fish we think he is, or is my opinion biased b/c I want him to fail?

True/False:
William Chen pulls more ass than William Hung?

I tuned in an hour late, so I'm getting to watch blackjack instead. "I'd like to use the Burger King Power Chip, please!" Can I get one of those for poker?

I've never watched HSP, except that AA v. KK hand at the end tonight. They're playing a cash game, right?, so are all the chips on the table standard Golden Nugget chips? It looked like I saw black $100 and purple $500, but I didn't get much chance to study it. (But now that I look here, I guess that explains why I couldn't find the $1000 yellows or oranges.)

I guess I was wrong in my prediction that Gold would be aware how outclassed he was at that table and nit up and shut up. Our dreams of seeing him stacked might actually come true, maybe even repeatedly. Also, does it look like Matusow was making a fish comfortable when he praised Gold for playing so many hands and not being a nit?

[Ace-Ex]

The last hand on the repeat was disgusting. I love Greenstein and freaking hate Sammy Farha. Sheiky blew up at him at the end over his bad beat, and I like the tension and bad blood between these guys. Well I guess there's bad blood between Sheiky and everyone.

[Ace-Ex]

I'm sure those guys want to get as much of that WSOP money as they can from Jaimie. I would try to make him as comfortable as possible at the table.

MM gave Gold some good ribbing about not being able to play with sets and straights.

They're at South Point, right?

They have black $100s, white $500s, yellow $1000s, blue/gray $5000s, and red $5s for tipping. Maybe an orange, too, but I'm not sure what that'd be. There's a good close-up in one of the clips they use coming back from commercial.

[DayTripping]

Yes they are at South Point. They haven't been at Golden Nugget since season 1.
