they need to invite prahlad!

I see this posted quite a bit, only thing is I can never understand why anyone would want to see him on HSP.

Eh? Do you play poker? Do you like poker? Prahlad is one of the best & most interesting players around simply in terms of poker style. He's also an amusing personality who does some clever/ridiculous table talk which you can either admire or make fun of. Either way he's full of entertainment value. There's not many people I'd rather see.

Thnaks for your explanation, I just thought he was an obnoxious rapper that also plays poker and pisses off other players.

Sounds like you knew the answer all along.

prahlad is one of, if not the, best NLHE specialists in the world

Knowing this does that mean he would also do well in a ring game such as HSP?

there are some soft spots that i think jamie can feed off of (hellmuth, chamanara, farha, etc.) that could make it ok for him to play. he's also RICH BITCH!

[/ QUOTE ]

So, were you invited as well Tech?



[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, but when he found out how much those players tipped waitresses and dealers (those red chips are $5/each), he turned it down.

[SuperUberBob]

He won't go unless he's allergic to his money.

Tech has a stalker!

[Mr. Orange]

I wonder if Hachem ever got invited? He supposedly plays in big NL cash games all the time. Although I suppose it's very possible that he could have been in Australia while filming was going on.

Hmmm. If ego went to Jamie's head, he'd take up the invite but the potshots at his credentials and resume from the various bitchy Hollywood gossip blogs probably means he's backstepping a little bit and that he'll firmly take up a position behind-the-camera with his Buzznation production company.

Jamie will most likely only play in tournaments such as previously mentioned, Poker Superstars or various WPT events where he will be sponsored and unlikely to have to delve too much into his own pocket which would make a hole of whatever the IRS has left him with.

Bodog probably won't give him any money even for the prestige of having the latest WSOP Main Event champ amongst the high-rollers because you won't see Bodog on Jamie's clothing if he went on the show. If Jamie wants a shot, Jamie will have to pony up and pay his own way.

HSP is broadcast on Challenge TV in the UK but weirdly wasn't given any kind of a strong promotional push. A very cult show amongst all the flipping freaky shootout tournaments that dominates UK TV.
