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 […]

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 […]

I’ve seen a lot of incentives added by house games to induce action at the table lately. I like these options added as it tends to keep the game up and moving and never allows it to become too stagnant, as your regular blind no limit game can sometimes fall into if you have too […]
