Can anyone stand watching this? I swear when I watch crappy players like this I just want to hit them over the head with a tack hammer, its like I get really angry that they are disrespecting the game by playing like donkeys and getting on t.v. w/ their shenanigans.

think that's bad...try watching old episodes of P Gordon commentating for Celebrity Poker

The alternative would be to go to an event and do well so you can show them how to not play like a donkey and respect the game. That probably won't happen though.

Four people from 2p2 made two final tables at the turning stone taping of the HPT. AJunglen and JCarver made the first one and EC10 and Ogre/JScnett made the second one. I have no doubt it'll be the best two episodes in the history of the show.

The players are so bad, but it has by far the worst commentary.

"Bob raises UTG with AK. Joe has 56s in the SB and is the shortstack... I like his play here, he has suited connectors and can hopefully get lucky"

Isn't that how tournaments go?

What's this comment for? I know 100% I am better than 99% of the field at the HPT.

I played a bunch of 1/2 at TS with the colour man, he has a stand up comedy background; played a bit with the main announcer too. Both seemed like nice guys but they played horribly.

Didn't Robert Williams or whatever do the commentary at least at one time for HPT?

Maliant, how many HPT FT's have you made? BTW, show up @ Majestic Star, IN in a few weeks. You'll get a chance to show your stuff against HPT 440 runners, many pretty good Chicago-land players inlcuded, competing for an expected $900K+ prize pool. Hope to cu @ the FT. BS walks, money talks.
