Most of those other guys have already been on a lot, haven't been impressive, and aren't very exciting. Some are attention whores like Hellmuth/Negreanu. Seen Elezra's fish game enoiugh times by now, he's not showing anything new, but when they need a fish, he laways answers the phone.

Bennyamine/Greenstein/Hansen aside, I'd be happy to see them on.

whoever they do have on this season, i think it would be only fitting given this is the first series to be shot following series one star Bob Stupak's sad passing, that a seat is left unfilled during one epsiode.

the players all donate $5K each to make a $40K shortstack, and the seat receives cards every hand. when the action gets to that seat, alternatively the player on the seat's left and right look at the Bob Stupak Memorial Seat's cards. They are permitted to do one of three actions. If it is anything but AA or KK the cards are insta-mucked. AA are open raised, or reraised, all-in. I cannot help but think it would be fitting if the producers could seat Phil Laak to the left to do this. The other players will know the Bob Stupak Memorial Seat has the 'poker rockets' and will be then be able to decide if they want to try and crack them with a sneaky trey-deucy suited.

KK gets flat called, to see if a set is made on the flop. If this does occur, the Bob Stupak Memorial Seat shoves all-in. If not the wired kings are checked hoping for a showdown, or mucked to any bet.

I think the HSP players and producers, and this forum, would agree that this would be what Bob would have wanted - and indeed how he would have played his own cards if he was still with us. any winnings would of course be donated to his favourite charidy.

Respect is due.

Egomanical tard.
Haha this post made me laugh. I'm surprised ESPN didn't get the ****ing truck into the studio for them to get their ugly wives to lay all over whilst that tard with the horn blasts it at any moment he can take a break from licking windows.

Nice guy tho.

Still, the seat has to take 2 minutes to act on every hand, and always take its glasses off and put the tip in the corner of its mouth.

tks guys. i got a bit bored with the 'my ideal line up blah blah blah' posts and it kind of all came together. maybe i should have started a new thread with it and got mad props. glad you enjoyed it.

EDIT: in fact i might stick it on NVG. is that bad form? i got (completely rightly) flamed last time i started a thread there i could do with trying to redeem myself.
