High Stakes Poker

Hi,

what's you guys' opinion on the new HSP season?

I think it's turning out better than I expected, with the FTP pros not participating and all.

[tob1n]

yep, agreed. so much hate going on concerning the new season, but i think it's not that bad. but maybe it's because i didn't watch HSP's previous seasons, so there's no ground for comparison for me

[castor11]

I prefer to FTP pros. I would like to watch Antonius, Hansen, Dwan....

Its not bad. The new commentator guy kinda took the soul out of the whole thing but as a compensation the worlds biggest high stakes fish showed up - Mr Ruffin. So its still fun to watch i'd say.

Ewww...I don't rly like new HSP, it's like watchin' bumhunting:-S every1 try to make a big hand against that Ruffin guy, because his overbet sooooo much. Only interesting player imho is Esfandiari...at least he's creating some action.
There was only 1 hand that I found exciting (KQ vs K7s w/ Barry and the Ruffin dude) in the new episode. Nice blocking bet/thin vb otr Mr. Greenstein!

[tob1n]

right, but also Viffer created some good TV action besides Esfandiari. But yeah, Robl, Selbst and the amateurs are boring as f#ck. And also Doyle and Greenstein are not the most entertaining fellas in the world. Can't wait for the Laak/Negreanu episodes to see some fun at least.

I think the poker action is just fine (my fav was Selbst's AQs vs. Esfandiari's 96s hand from ep4), but I miss the talk, the joking around and the atmosphere in general. Maybe in a season or two they come to do the same, but even then it will not be nearly as hilarious as it used to be :(

[tob1n]

yeah. that's why the PokerStars Big Game is much better. Season 2 comes soon with Laak/Tony G/Negreanu/Hellmuth. Will be MUCH more fun:D

Season 2 comes soon with Laak/Tony G/Negreanu/Hellmuth.

[CubFan]

LOL, i heard they are going to sack the whole show now that PokerStars is in deep shit...

[The teoszan]

I think it`s funny to watch a "pro" like Ruffin but I miss Gabe :( he was a very good commentator but anyway who loves to play poker I think he loves either to watch it too at a higher level..

[castor11]

Gabe better commentator....:)
