  • A Bracelet Poll (Some 2007 Spoilers)
    OK, as everyone who isn't living under a rock or in willing hiding from WSOP results knows, Phil Hellmuth now has 11 bracelets. Question 1 is, will Phil win his 12th before someone else wins 11 (just answer that one via reply)? And second, WHO will be the next to 11? I ask mostly because Doyle and...
  • Amazing Poker After Dark Hand
    I'm simply in awe of this hand. It's from Wednesday night's show. 5 players were left, blinds 200/400. In 2nd position, Johnny Chan raised to 1200 with AA. Joe Hachem called from the SB with KQ, and Huck Seed, who had been playing very tight thus far, called with 66. The flop came 6-J-J. Joe...
  • It's Time for WSOP Picks Again
    The World Series of Poker is only a little over a week away, and it's time to name our picks of who we think will do the best this year. It's so hard to pick just 3, so I think this year we ought to get 5 picks. I'm going off the Cardplayer point system for determining who does the "best"...

  • WPT Foxwoods Last Night (5/23)
    If anyone saw this last night, I think it provides a great example of how to misplay a big stack in E.G. Harvin. He limped in too frequently and allowed good players (ie Nenad Medic) to see flops and generally outplay him with smaller stacks. Also, on several occasions, he bluffed with almost no outs...

    Has anyone watched this before? Saw it tonight and it was the most retarded thing I have ever seen. He was like trying to teach this girl to play Hold 'Em and it was retarded.

James Van Alstyne is the chip leader, and I would really like to see him win--he is a fantastic tournament player from the Dan Harrington school of Hold'em; very solid indeed. The final table...
  • Vince Van Patten Should Die
    Seriously, the topic says it all. I heard him compare this dumb puke of a kid in Aruba to Stu Ungar. In the Poker world, that ought to be punishable by death.
  • Rounders
    Does anyone think that there are players as good as Mike in Rounders?
  • High Stakes Poker 4/10
    Just finished watching the tape, and Phil Hellmuth is officially a donkey. What the hell is with betting 1k into a 19k pot? Is he a complete fish or something? I'm sad there won't be any new episodes for awhile though. :(

    I caught an hour-long segment of a tournament last week that was really interesting but don't know the name of the show so I can look for it again. The tourny was in Monte Carlo but I'm pretty sure it wasn't the Monte Carlo Millions tourny. It was sponsored by one of the online sites and had Chris...

  • High Stakes Poker 3/27
    Another most enjoyable episode, in which Daniel managed not to donk off any more big pots. :lol: I must say, there is nothing better than watching old Phil flush money down the toilet then whine about his bad luck. I have no idea what he was thinking about with that QQ hand, or with his weak ace...
  • WPT Grand Prix de Paris, Season 4
    I thought this episode started out ok... I liked Tim Anders, kind of a Chris Ferguson look meets Mr. Rogers demeanor--but he shook way too much, and he got too cocky later in the game when he was on a roll. Then, the episode degenerated into the usual shenanigans. I didn't even watch the end of the...
  • 888.com Poker Nations Cup
    Has anyone from the UK been watching this? I caught an episode on the weekend and found it quite entertaining, the international theme is good because it gives you someone to support. I have to say I was very impressed by Bengt Sonnert and Clonie Gowen.

    I mean, I've seen SnG's with better structures. $100,000/$200,000 blinds when there's like $8,000,000 on the table is beyond ridiculous (this is on the Legends of Poker on right now). I'm sorry, but it is unfair to the great players out there who hack through these big fields for days with a fair structure,...
  • High Stakes Poker 3/20
    I must say, this was my favorite episode so far. Barry Greenstein showcasing why he's the man, and Phil Hellmuth losing $150k... my kind of night! :lol: Couple points, 1. Wtf is wrong with Daniel? He is making some of the biggest donkey plays I've ever seen like he was an amateur or something....

    Another interesting two hours of poker last night. 1) Ferguson had a nice little come back for awhile with only 1 chip left 2) I'd like to know what on earth that kid was doing the night before that caused him to sleep in and lose over 200k in blinds. Bunny Ranch maybe? 3) Arieh(sp?) acted...
  • 2004 WSOP day three
    Was probably the most enjoyable poker I've watched on TV so far this year. Just some highlights that I enjoyed 1) Brunson knocked out Fischman 2) Helmuth had a fit - was classic - guy raises Phil's bet on the flop, Phil had top pair, Jacks I think. Turn is a Q, both check. river rag. Phil bets...
  • Rounders Special Edition
    I heard that a Rounders Special Edition was coming sometime in the near future. Is there any truth to this at all? :)
  • Mod Position
    I have found my interest in Texas-Holdem Poker declining to bi-weekly home games. I also find I don't have the time nor the interest to be fully involved in this forum. Therefore, I feel that I cannot use the Poker in Movies and TV mod powers to their fullest capabilities. I will relenquish my position...
  • wsop new episode
    tonights 2 episodes were pretty good i thought, but could be capped off by a couple good moments 1) Mike Matusow crying and screaming after he lost. It was a bad beat, but you have to feel good when a bigmouth starts to cry :D 2) The crowd cheering for Doyle whenever anything at all that involved...
  • Bad habit when watching tv
    You guys ever see and all in on tv (WSOP in particular)..and have an idea of what time it is..so you go check the time...see its 10:57...so you know he loses? Its a bad habit of mine..and know that you read this..you'll probably do the same :D
  • Ultimate Poker Challenge
    Did anyone see the "Ultimate Poker Challenge" on fox Sunday night? (Or something closely titled). I only caught enough of it to think "gee, poor production quality and not very knowledgable announcers". My wife couldn't believe I didn't stay up watching. Did anyone else stay with it longer for a different...
  • Just saw the WSOP Razz and PL tourneys
    Razz - wot a crazy game, I've never seen it before. It's basically anti-7 card stud with 2 down, 4 up, 1 down and the lowest hand takes it. There are no flushes or straights so A,2,3,4,5 is the nuts. It's basically a drawing game so it's kinda crappy and it's frustrating as hell. I won't ruin the...
  • WPT - Hollywood Home Game
    did anyone else find this episode SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO boring that they changed the channel? the only exciting thing about the game was the fact that evellyn was acting as a dealer (sort of... doing everything a dealer does except deal the cards since at the hollywood home game they let the players deal)....
  • World Poker Tour - Legends of Poker
    On Saturday I went out to the Bicycle Club to check out day one of the WPT event there. I went to Legends of Poker last year and also the event at Commerce last February. On my first trip I took pics with Doyle and Shana Hiatt. On my second trip I took pics with Shana (again), T.J. Cloutier, and...
  • Rivalries amongst pro players
    Do any of you guys know of any heated rivalries between pros? And hopefully the story behind the rivalry? Sort of like Hellmuth and Sam Grizzle. I'm almost certain I've seen some quasi-subtle comments in some of Daniel Negreanu's articles that imply that he doesn't like Hellmuth so much. But Phil's...
  • New WPT tonight!
    Johnny J, Phil Laak, Antonio Estvjlkskjls whatever, Humberto Brenes (I love this guy). Should be interesting.

  • WSOP music on ESPN
    Anybody know who does the music that ESPN uses on the 2003 WSOP airings? It's the twangy guitar riffs. Anybody know who or what grourp or maybe the title on the song? Thanks
  • WPT vs. WSOP
    Which do you think is better? The espn coverage of the wsop or the travel channel's wpt. Frankly I prefer the wpt, the way espn shows the wsop is pretty sad. They shortened it way too much.
  • 2003 WSOP DVD set
    I saw the add on the main event tonight and thought Id post a link here for you guys, its only $30 which isnt too bad but I dont know if there is much for extra footage or anything, and this is not spam I just know lots of people ask where they can download it and why not have it on DVD anyways. http://www.championshipdvd.com/product_detail.asp?id=46
  • WSOP questions
    I have some rather odd questions that i want answers to about the WSOP Main Event that i just cant find. For example, what chips do ppl start with at the begining of the tournament i know 10,000 of course but like 8 25$ 4 500$ chips or whatever. Also, does anyone know what blinds started at the final...
  • 2004 main event day 1
    Anyone catch the details of what Annie Duke was so worked up about? They didn't really explain it, I didn't think. She was going on about that Jungblutt guy pushing cards or chips or something to the muck.
  • ESPN moneymaker and hellmuth chats!!!

  • WPT commentary added in post-production
    I've searched the forums, and couldn't find any thread regarding this, so I'm sorry if it's been discussed. I just watched WPT season 1 episode 8 at the Aviation Club in Paris, and noticed during heads-up play that you can see Van Patten and Sexton standing in the background, clearly not doing the...
