Does anyone know how many more episodes will be aired with the current lineup?

why would anyone willingly watch this on youtube? If you don't have usenet access its on public trackers.

When for example your university has blocked every conceivable way of downloading, youtube is great.

The main impression I've gotten after having watched most of HSP so far, is that Doyle Brunson is a BAAAAAAAD MAN. It's sort of cliche, but the guy really does just seem to "feel" the game, it's incredible to watch and really at this point, after getting bored with Matusow's antics, etc., it's Brunson I tune in for. Of course in a few weeks the sick table gets going. Shame Brunson's not at that table from what I'v heard.

Brunson never ceases to amaze me.

Brunson was great - love seeing him at his best. Watching Ramdin was just utterly boring - uninteresting and poor poker.

I like Gabe, he really drives the show both as a player and as a commentator. I'm looking forward to seeing some fresh faces at the table, Ivey specifically. Also, the atmosphere at the table is just much better with Jennifer there - that table needs a woman's touch.

Those weren't 10k bundles, they were $100 bundles. Gabe got $1,000 in cash that wasn't intended to play, he just wanted to look cool (and said as much during the first ep he played in).

[/ QUOTE ]Alright, I'm ready for a KITN. I totally forgot that he did that in the previous episode.

I'll be over in the corner with the dunce hat on my head.

Alaei plays like I do when I'm playing bad.

Raise, donk calls like usual. Auto cbet with a hand that can't handle much action vs a player who is never folding or is looking for a way to pick up the pot, even if doesn't make sense.

Then give up when donk inevitably donk bets.

When I took a poll asking people whose NL game they respected most after watching the first 2 seasons of High Stakes Poker, the results went:

1. Antonio Esfandiari
2. Ted Forrest
3. Doyle Brunson

Should be interesting to see how people's opinions are adjusted now that we will see Antonius, Townsend, Dags and Ivey for the first time, as well as more than a hand or two from Brad Booth.

This reminds me though... why would Ted choose to sit out this season?

This was probably the most boring episode of all. Very dry episode pokerwise, no interesting hands.

[dogdrool]

Sorta interesting they don't try to work any women into the game. I know Jen played once in a previous season, but still. I'd think they'd try to at least sit a single woman at the table.
