i think once it gets to the next session where the buy in is 500K, HSP will be much better. i think the best HSP had to offer by far was season 3 when the table was sbrugby, antonius, antonio, ivey, booth, negreanu, jdags, and benaymine. hopefully the table will be something close to that next session

I like to hear the table talk both here and and on PAD. On PAD especially you get some great stories as there's more down time, like the time Doyle left a bag with 50k in cash in an ice cream parlor.

booth: in season 3 .. very little play. it seems he showed up just to push ivey off that hand then disappear. a real disappointment after a flashy start.

jdags: you have to be mentioning him because he was at the table.. not because of any special plays he might have made.

i like all 4 seasons.. but season 3 struck me as the season that people showed up to get their face on camera. it's true sbrugby, gold, and wassicka were there to make a statement and to show their skills off. we were left mostly with eli and sammy being the only ones of the "regulars" that even bothered playing any real poker.

OP, maybe you should start tivo-ing Poker, Learn from the Pros. I hear they have a whole episode on position.

If I played NL cash I think this show would actually mess up my game. I know I'd start calling raises in the SB with 52s and [censored].

I don't really know why I watch now. Gabe cracks me up every now and then. But that can't be enough all by itself.

Serious question: Do you watch the NFL to get better at football?
