High Stakes Poker -- January 23

I saw the Shiek as a railbird in this episode.

Best poker on TV. Its not even close. Ill never be able to watch another WPT all in fest after watching those 2 episodes tonight(on DVR).

Ted Forest is a straight pimp. I thought Ted was donking it up making a move on Barry with that KQx board and Barry had 99. Funny how you can be a donkey or a genius based on your opponnets fold/call.

I think this is the best live poker I've ever seen on TV. I'm sick of nothing-but-all-in hands from tournament play, plus most of the amateur donkeys that luckbox into final tables. Almost everyone here is a brilliant, brilliant poker mind and I like seeing how they think. Since I DVR it, I don't notice the commercials. I just see lots of fascinating hands and learn a ton about strategy for NL cash games. What's not to like?

I agree. This is much more watchable than the donkfest that is tournament poker.

so obvious ted forrest doesn't play nl cash games too much. i've never seen anything like it. best play was letting daniel elaei bluff into him. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

This guy is the absolute pits. And I really like Gabe Kaplan.

Why on Earth would anyone employ AJ Benza for any reason, much less poker commentary?

[Rushmore]

First of all, yes, this is the best poker on television, and it's not even close. The only way to make it the Undisputed World Champeen is to make it a mixed a game. I don't think I'd ever leave the house.

Second, A.J. Benza needs to go do something else. ANYTHING else.

Third, don't say anything bad about Gabe Kaplan. He is as knowledgeable and personable as any poker commentator out there. If you say anything bad about him, you will be forced to watch old WSOP episodes from back in the senior Van Patten days, Clockwork Orange Style.

Lastly, if you play poker and cannot afford DVR, you deserve to suffer through the commercials.

Call it the rake.

i couldnt find this station with on-demand. Does anyone who has on-demand know what its under? Or do you need to have direct tv or something?

One of them was a 60k pot. Where 40k was an uncalled river bet.

yes, I too just want to see PH go bust. And i'm waiting to watch DN implode.
