Re: REQUEST FOR HSP SEASON 4
[ QUOTE ]
Now that this season is over, I know how much I'm going to miss HSP ever Monday night. [/ QUOTE ] QFT. Best poker show ever, and it's not close. Can't wait for the next season. ps. if they change one thing it should be keeping the same lineup longer so the dynamics have a chance to develop and evolve.

No-brainer idea: High Stakes Poker: Pot Limit Omaha If GSN doesn't do it, someone else will eventually. Fill the table with Negreanu, Greenstein, Ivey, Brunson, Antonius, Harman, Benyamine and Brian Townsend. It will get ratings! [/quote quite possibly best idea ever.

Re: REQUEST FOR HSP SEASON 4

Running a huge pot twice and getting a draw is awful for those watching. [/ QUOTE ] No it's not. Most of us want to see good poker, not merely huge pots and swings. Besides, the shared relief after a chop contains its own drama, if not as much excitement. And the times when a 22% underdog ends up scooping (hasn't happened on the show yet, but it does happen) are extra thrilling and brutal. Plus, it's interesting to see which players like to run it multiple times and which don't.

Just curious, do you guys think they will ever broadcast it live in the near future? [/ QUOTE ] Highly doubtful. There's no real reason to. They do the commentary in post production, and just the shuffling and dealing between hands adds too much dead time.

Re: REQUEST FOR HSP SEASON 4
Why did ESPN stop showing more of the other events, raitings are terrible. Highstakes PLO would not!!! get near the same raitings as showing lower stakes NL action. The common person doesn't understand PLO, doesn't get the basic strategy or hand values.
Bumping up the stakes is an interesting Idea. With so many people buying in short, why not bump stakes and make it a little more aggresive. Tight players should not be invited back, players like Laak and Antonio make the show. DN is needed. When we had to endure the table of Jesus, Shak, Trincher and the rest of the nits. I welcomed DN back to the table with open arms. You need some people to gambool it up a litte get the game loose. Jerry Buss would be a great guy to have. Fred Charmanara as well. Amatures who are true amatures. I really dislike that they call guys like Trincher, Shak amatures. I want true millionaires who play cards sometimes. I would love to see Jay-Z or Irv Gotti. Or other well known Celebs who enjoy the game. Those guys could loose 100K and never know it was gone. Plus the pro's would love to play at thier table. Stack sizes are not neccesary, but maybe a end of episode count, like brad is down 50K for this episode will this effect his play next week??? you know mention it like LATB.

Re: REQUEST FOR HSP SEASON 4
I Mention Laak and Antonio, because they play good, loose enough to be interesting but play solid enough to make you think. More Antonio than Laak, but I thought they both played good.

HSP: PLO Edition would be awesome beyond words [/ QUOTE ] I don't know, while it would be great for the addicted poker fan, it would be a disaster for the casual fan. "He has 4 hole cards??? WTF is going on??" "He has the ace of clubs for the nut flush!!! Why is his winning % at 0?" This followed by complaints to GSN that teh viewing public wants more, you guessed it, no limit holdem.
