Default Re: High Stakes Poker thread (9/10)

-some poor play

-the table talk/manner of many of the players is awful. really low class. incessant mid-hand chatter is inexcusable imo. also too much 'trying to be my entertaining poker persona cause im on tv!' going on.

-gabe kaplan often sounds foolish with his understanding of both the game in general and the players thought process. add in the fact that it is added in post-production and it is unbearable. akin to john madden recording in post and going "you know, the defense is probably going to blitz here, so brady should be on the lookout and go deep... but he better be wary of the jets fast cornerbacks....", blitz comes, brady is picked off.

this is obv the best poker tv show, but many aspects of it deserve to be spit on.
