Jman on HSP season 4?
I thought he was supposed to be on this season... so far I haven't seen him yet. Anyone know what episode (if at all) he appears in?

Re: Jman on HSP season 4?
He's probably coming in after Safai or Baxter leave. Hellmuth mentions him in one of his cardplayer articles when talking about a hand he played on HSP.

Re: Jman on HSP season 4?
IIRC from what I read he was cut from day 3 and only got to play a very short time on day 2 where he played very tight as he was conserving his bankroll for day 3 or something like this.
So basically he probably wont get much/any airtime? http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...rt=all&vc=1 |

I actually enjoyed watching Baxter play.
The question is....where did they get him from? BTW Jman mentioned he will get 5 mins of air tops. |

Re: Jman on HSP season 4?
I don`t want to judge Baxter, Safei and Brandon Adams (?) but I actually don`t understand why they pick those guys. Nothing against them but there are players outthere who have a name and make good TV.
What about Ivey (of course), Benyamine, Hansen, Townsend, Chip Reese? Even consider europeans like Luske or Ulliot. Tony G also could be a good addition. Anyone has insight on why the producers pick who? |

Firstly, as has been mentioned, the reason they select at least 1-3 unknown amateurs (Baxter, Safai, Chamanara, Nassiri) is because the pros aren't going to want to play a NL Hold'em cash game with one another. What sort of pro is going to risk $100-$500k against 7 of the best players in the world? It's fairly obvious (especially if you watch season 1) that the pros make a concerted effort to beat the fish and avoid big hands with one another. Also, Brandon Adams should not be grouped in with Safai and Baxter. I'm guessing you mean Brian Brandon? While Brandon Adams hasn't had much TV time in his poker "career" I can assure you he plays in some of the biggest cash games in the world on a daily basis, has the respect of alot of the pros at the table and is a tremendous player. |
