Another very famous pot from High Stakes Poker, which teaches several lessons at once:
1. Even when you make the nuts on the turn, like Antonius does here, you can get drawn out. Gambling in his spot as he did with the gut shot was risky, and though he was the favorite when the money went […]

Classic grossness, looks like an online hand or something.
Esfandiari makes some classy laydowns.
The rest of this is achy.

They’re kicking off with the Pot Limit Hold Em championship event, featuring some nice pros including Kathy Liebert, Nenad Medic, Mike Sexton and Patrik Antonius, among others.
Look for sassy commentary […]

It’s a fine line between donk and genius. You make a marginal play and it works for you, you look like you could see the future, you make one and it goes wrong, you look like an idiot poker donk minbetting into a massive pot.
Daniel Negreanu tends to make a lot of weird looking plays […]

I am happy to see more cash games on TV, they are so much more entertaining to […]

There’s not much of a more fun matchup you could ask for, Phil ‘The baby’ Hellmuth vs Sam ‘The baby spanker’ Farha.
Phil’s betting on this hand is just so weak, I don’t know who he thought he’d beat with it, especially Farha. You really think you can play like that with these guys? This is […]

Interesting to see Daniel’s discussion of the hand here, pretty dead on as always, though I do think it’s a tough fold even with the reraise. Ultimately only losing $15k is less than a lot of other players would have lost, though I would be interested to see what would happen if the clubs hadn’t […]

There’s so much poker on TV these days that sometimes it gets a little too much, and you end up with final tables full of new guys that just aren’t all that exciting.
I thought today I’d think a bit about my top 5 favorite players to watch on TV.

from Jereme Dean:
You can now watch Antonio Esfandiari and Phil Laak’s TV show I BET YOU online now. It basically entails them running around making prop bets with one another over stuff like ‘can you get that guy to give you his cowboy hat’ or other random stuff. It’s pretty entertaining, if you have nothing […]
