WTF, that [censored] was terrible, i do not want to [censored] see [censored] billy chen and jamie gay, why dont they show the real show first

[KingGeorgeC]

I thought it was nice of Jamie to tell Doyle he could check if he wanted.

[Whitewash]

I think they decided to air Day 2 first, which is disappointing... looks like we're going to have to wait a long while for aba, Ivey, Patrik, etc.

BTW, I wasn't incorrect in saying Jamie Gold was on day 2. I'm almost positive today's episode was from day 2.

I think Gabe was well aware of Gold's true reputation in poker because he seemed to be eager to say less than favorable things about Gold's play. And he was quick to point out Matusow's comments about Gold getting hit with the deck during WSOP2006. Overall Gold seemed to play a ton of hands but he did have a fair number of decent starting hands. Matusow played pretty well during the first episode.

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.

[w_gibbs]

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

[MikeRice]

Brad Booth's pushing of a 300K tower of bills in the intro looks promising.
