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 […]

One more post before Mr. Dean steps in:

Poker on TV

I am confused about poker on TV.
I continue to like watching it even when I have lost interest temporarily in the game.
