High Stakes Poker thread (10/15) (spoilers possible)

Thoughts on this ep:

- lol @ Safai

- God Harman. Bet the freaking turn. It's Elezra ffs. Also, you retards blasting Jen for being a nit on that JJJ flop hand need to think for yourselves and stop listening to Gabe's crap. Jen's check there is incredibly obvious. She saves money against a J and everything else can't call the turn and doesn't have any outs. Her fold versus Gold was pretty nitty, but he did a good job of looking strong.

- Man, what a boring episode. I think that what the producers don't realise is that the reason Harman, Negreanu etc are so nitty in this game is that with Farha such a loose cannon, what are you suppose to do? Look at his hand vs Hellmuth. What are you supposed to do vs a guy like that except try to always have a hand?

I agree. I stopped watching WTP last year and WSOP episodes this year, and now it looks like I'll probably stop watching HSP soon too.

It was Safai though... I can see him calling down with TT.

My guess for the next season:
1 500k day
1 PLO/NLHE mix day with whatever min. buyin
1 regular day to start of the season

You guys are obviously getting bored with the show because we've been watching it for 4 seasons now. There is not a whole lot more the producers can do.

The fact that posters are giving different recommendations that have no resemblence to each other is a testament to that.

I would obviously like to see the real top NL players (Antonius, Townsend, Esfandiari, Ivey) get the most airtime, but that doesn't change the fact that people will still complain the show isn't as interesting as it used to be.

at the very end, hellmuth says, "morry's supposed to invite rich billionaires to the game, and he invites the tightest phil he could find," or something like that.

jman squirms in his seat a little bit. the look on his face is priceless.
he should've challenged huforrollz!

I thought he said "tightest girl". Figured he either meant Jennifer or Daniel.

[jediandimaster]

is "sweaty phil" fulltiltplayer OMGClayAiken?
or does OmgClayAiken mean something? (sorry if the question is dumb, i am from germany, sometimes its hard to understand acronyms, sayings etc. in english.

[badatmath]

Yes, he is OMGClayAiken.

you save money against a J. you save money against a J.

do you spend your nights looking under the bed for the boogey man too? what if you're holding the ace on that board and someone comes out on the river and bets 50k. are you going to give him the J.

this is exactly what i'm talking about. this is exactly why jen is bad for the game.. she's no action at all. i don't know why she's on there year after year. she doesn't even get into any colorful table talk. at least laak is interesting. she's like spaghetti noodles before you put sauce on them.
