High Stakes Poker

I've missed the first three weeks of this new season. Anyone know when/if they replay them?

[Chipless Wonder]

I saw the second and third weeks, and the highlight for me was watching a couple of amateurs destroy Phil Hellmuth's stack. It's amazing how bad he can play in these cash games, then put all the blame on the 'bad amateurs'.

[Chipless Wonder]

The last couple of weeks have been really good. Here are some of my thoughts...

Phil Hellmuth - he's just kicking ass. I think he's now up nearly $400,000!
Phil Galfond - I know he's a great online player and theorist, but he seems so outof place playing live against these guys.
Jennifer Harman - she's shifted gears and the other players at the table don't seem to realize it.
Sam Farha - he plays so wild and bluffs so much that I just can't seem to figure out how he ever wins anything.
Jamie Gold - he's definitely an effective bluffer, but he often seems afraid to value bet when he actually is ahead.

I had no idea who that Galfond guy was. He is playing very weak. I agree, Phil Helmuth is playing lights out. I think the table is setup with several loose players, which compliments Phil very well.

Has anyone else seen the last two episodes? They just switched to the $500,000 buy-in last week, and there've been some MASSIVE pots. Last Monday there was a $500,000 pot, and tonight there was a $750,000 one.

The $750,000 pot was crazy. Talk about a punch in the gut!

The $500,000 episodes have been a great watch, im curious to see what happens when Guy stops hitting runner runner gutshots and filling up against people's flushes. FYI the website Pokertube.com has the reruns of almost every poker show.

I can get episodes for most shows (poker included) formatted for the ipod if anyone is interested.

So who has some comments on the Farha - Gold A-A versus K-K hand? As much as I am not a Jamie Gold fan, I have to say that it was amazing how he talked Sammy into letting him save $185,000 on the river...

[Chipless Wonder]

Just watched Doyle make a SICK call and win a pot worth $818,000.

He said he only called because he hadn't seen a pair in eight hours, but I believe otherwise. I think after eight hours of observation, he knew that he was ahead in the hand (i.e. 83% favorite).

I think seeing Jamie Gold finally leave the game 85% broke was a high point for me too.

And the $999,000 pot between Patrick Antonius and Samma Farha was amazing. Both of those guys are completely fearless.
