High stakes poker season 3

[MrDarling]

So, what do you guys think?

Just watched episode 4. Was a little worry in episode 3 about Gold playing good and gaining respect. Am glad to see him going to back to his old trusted donk poker.

Those guys reads him like an open book !

Watching this make me think - whats the difference between High stake poker on TV to micro stakes on the net?


None what so ever. They play the same crap. They bluff the same amount. The donk get as lucky.

i hope that's sarcasm.

i hope that's sarcasm.

In a way it is. But its true, on the micro levels the play all the same hands that the high stake poker play. They call raises with any suited cards, any K high etc.
they raise with suited connector. they play any A.

Of course, on HSP the player know that TPNK is crap. They don't push allin when their suited connector hit 2nd pair etc.. but really, its pretty much the same game

it is nowhere near the same game.

That's not even close, these guys are crazy good.

Except Jamie Gold, who maintains a VP$IP of about 94 with PFR of 3~

Just found episode 5 online, it's another great one. SBrugby joins the crowd, the whole table switches up this episode, it's back to the old HSP crowd, even DN leaves.

The split pot pre flop was cool

The split pot pre flop was cool

That was angle shooting if not some sketchy sketchy cheating. I didn't think it was cool at all, really.
