You wouldn’t have seen this hand go down like this, obviously, if Guy Laliberte weren’t an amateur in the field of sharks, but there’s a good lesson to be learned here for newer players, and a reminder for the more advanced.
Playing weak aces, even suited, is probably one of the biggest money losers in the […]

For all those like myself who had wondered about the fate of GSN’s High Stakes Poker, which seems to have been up in the air since the end of last season, GSN has now announced that they will indeed be releasing at least a 6th season of their highest rated program on the channel, despite […]

Top 5 Biggest Hands on High Stakes Poker #4

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 […]

Line Between Donk And Genius

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.

Phil Hellmuth vs. Sam Farha

There’s not much of a more fun matchup you could ask for, Phil ‘The baby’ Hellmuth vs Sam ‘The baby spanker’ Farha.
