PokerStars.net The Big Game, Week of August 23rd on FOX - Page 13 - Poker Card Room

Jesus everyone give DN some slack. He is trying maybe 2 hard to make this a good show but someone has to really hold up some entertainmeant for the viewers. The online guys usually dont bring alot of enjoymeant for the casual viewers so what on earth should he do just sit there and shut up???
I dont enjoy him either but he is in a spot he probably needs to do this. LC this weak has obvious no clue about poker and is or should be drawing dead . Hellmuth is a joy finally stepping it up a little but this weak is horrendous compare to last weak IMO.

haven't anyone discussed the loose canons double up? or did i miss it? The LC who has been playing sooooo passively min raises and I would think there would ring some bells in Katchalovs head but apparently not, he goes all in thinking he has the nuts like a microstakes player. I would love to hear his thought process in that hand, but of course they didn't ask for that???

Agree was a very hard fold with the q7 specially vs this guy who didnt seems to even understand the basics of the game.

So why not just call? I highly doubt LC is going to min-raise with a straight draw and if he bets huge on the river he would might contemplating a fold, but the LC is prolly going to bet smallish on the river as well.

The least that PStars could do would be to give us the old timer's screen name so we could make some money off of him...

Check out the "Too Hot for TV" episodes on the website. Some funny stuff there. For example:

Troy Howard: I got FIVE kids to feed!
Rick Rahim: I've got a box of condoms.

So much this. This table's managed to make Phil a likeable guy, and he's also playing well...and others at the table are being d-bags. Seriously, how the hell did this manage to happen?

Obviously PH has more important things in his life than how he's percieved at the table, but seriously, if I didn't know anything about who was who, and I watched these last two days, I would think that Phil Hellmuth was a nice, likeable poker player who can take some ribbing and shrug it off. And Stern and DN I'd think were complete a-holes.

I don't think he's gone too overboard. Yeah that one time was a bit too much, but my wife's been able to follow the commentary, and it's actually taught her a few things, so for the most part, the commentary's been great.

Sadly, I don't even know if the LC realized he was being mocked. But that was just downright awful - not for the poker play (although that was horrible), but the way DN treated it was just ridiculous. Old dude with no clue does something like that? Call it down and win with your hand. Don't be a complete dick about it.

Wanted to watch Ep3 tonight, and it's not there...

The LC wasn't very good but unlike Troy, I do feel pretty bad for the guy.
