LOL at Durrrr's 10 seconds of uninterrupted eye rolling in the segment about internet players. Also, Gus mentioned Isildur, pretty epic.

I like Dwan, I really do. Fun to watch and seems to have a good table presence. Has no problem talking and joking with everyone else.

But put him in front of the camera, ask him a simple question and he becomes a droopy sponge with zero life and weird ass expressions. I get that he considers questions about "internet players" weird because that's basically his life and can't fathom questions from people who might not know much about it, but come on, learn some perspective. What a dweeb.

Yeah, and pretty dull episode. I liked Gabe minus AJ just fine in the first episode, but the long pauses this time were a bit too weird. Normally rivering a full house against a loose player should be the time to amp up the commentary, but nothing was said at all.

FYP


I would take a bet that most of the "improvements" in this season come from 2
+2 threads.

The teaser at the end seems to show Negreanu grimacing after he goes allin and is called quickly by Dwan. I'm sure this is just the show misrepresenting what will really happen. They have probably just taken an unrelated shot of Negreanu grimacing and have peiced it together with the other action.

I tend to disagree. My best guess: Daniel tried to pull one of his trademark mega fail superstar plays and got it in drawing dead against top set.

Hoivold's play in the last hand was beyond terrible imo. How could he. KQ is not calling that in a 5-way pot and as we have seen, bottom two won't fold because of the little money he has behind. It's a lose-lose raise there to 50k. Possibly the most horrible play I've seen on a TV cash game from a supposed pro.

Dude he was clearly joking when asked that question. You honestly think he's gonna seriously react like that to a simple question from Kara Scott?!

Pretty dull episode, but I suppose that's standard for at least one or two episodes per season as the cards dictate. Gabes popeye reference for gus was hillarious though!

"Come over my house for some beers some time. Just don't tell anyone where you are going" when Ivey glared at Dario after losing a pot to him was one of the best lines ever.

yeah lol, Ivey 3bet to 15k then Negreanu did the same. I'm sure he did not do it on purpose, it's like Ivey hypnotized him...

I actually thought this episode was pretty good. Yeah, the format still sucks but it's not going to change this season. The action was pretty good and it's always good to see Eli in the game.

Ep didn't have any memorable hands but that's to be expected of some of the episodes in the season. Gabe was on fire though imo..

Can anyone tell me why Durrr open-limped Q10s from the CO? (at least I think it was the CO)

Durrr is playing bad

Eli is a fish

Gus is a nit

Esfandiari is... where is he?

Ivey is god

Dario is a polite italian

Daniel is just a sitting and breathing Poker Stars Ad

Hoivold is hitchhiking back to norway

And Gabe is... still pretty funny at times

dead air:
Gabe minus AJ
Esfendiari minus Laak
Daniel minus Matusow and Hellmuth (felted)
Eli minus Farha

The way they always over dramatize their teasers, I figured they run it twice and it ends up a chop or something
