First "A" of the season for me.

Even the Kara interviews were OK, although "Did You Know" is mind-numbingly awful, but I'm not gonna downgrade the whole episode just because of that.

A ton of action. Very tough lineup. Interesting hands. Even Antonio 4-bet rags, although he was a huge pussy in the fist hand with durrrr.

Gabe was also better in the booth. I think he realized he had to change it up without AJ there.

Good table talk also.

lol'd when Dario went all in w/ A9o, and Gabe said 'thats either a good read or a moment of insanity'

and when durrrr's ace flashed, so it got replace by an 8 giving him 88, Gabe said durrrr sucked out before the flop

tbh I found it interesting.

DN comes off awkward as **** in that segment though. I like him, but he doesn't come off very good in this show at all.

This is what I thought too.

I think he was joking that eating pussy may not be allowable under either bet

Because I think the two clips are from seperate hands, and Ivey had the larger stack. Thereofore Dwan must win the first for there to be a second (Unless Dwan reloads).

Also It mentions it's the "most epic hand of all time", so it must be something crazy like Dwan bluffing with the best hand, and Ivey making a hero call.

Why is Antonio so quiet all of a sudden? I mean normally he never shuts up and now I'm forgetting that he's even on the table. He's not joining in, in any of the banter or anything. Not even a 'Wwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee' - nothing.

I actually thought the episode wasn't that bad. Enjoyed alot of it. B.

I like DN. When I first started out, thought he was a really good player. Now I understand the game more I feel sorry for him. Think maybe he should stick to livedonkaments.

Pretty much the most accurate comment on the situation. Should use this to his advantage in the future since if we donkeys can figure this out, the best of the best surely have him figured out.

DN is seemingly a good guy. Personally hope he doesn't get felted but that lineup is obv ridiculously good.

I mean they actually grind for a living and due to internet volume of hands it supercedes the number of hands DN has played in his career, mostly against clueless tourney donks who are lol bad.
It's time to put this BS that keeps getting spouted off to bed: If you're 6-tabling (which is pretty low for many of the heavy-volume grinders, from what I've read) you're technically playing about 420 hands per hour, amirite (6tables x ~70hand/hr)? The thing is, you're not really playing 420 hands per hour. You're folding 370 hands pf, another 25 on the flop, and maybe actually playing to 4th and 5th street 15-20hands. I'm pulling #'s out of my arse here, but my thesis is still valid, imo.

You're also ignoring the very relevant differences between the live and online game (tells, feelings, and mannerisms vs. cold #'s and statistics). And this is the area where DN would crush the 100NL grinder.

I think Daniel's scared of this table, because he knows he's the worst deep stack cash player there.
FYP.

I think he thinks they don't move. Someone said "he can't eat anything that moves" and Eli said "what about shrimps?" thinking they don't move. Elezra's knowledge of shellfish appears limited (I guess 'cuz they're not kosher?), but makes for funny television.

How about asking your opponent if they can beat KK - if he say's yes raise the lair and if they don't answer....fold! lol
If you are ever on hsp and one of the old hands asks you what you had in a hand to settle a bet:

Dont tell them
They think you're a fish
They are lining up to make a play at you

think Negreanu is getting easier to read, when he had aces, Minieri picked up a read on him when he started talking

you all know what long period is and wanna judging Esfandiari and Negreanu from something like 15 hands of this episode????

also esfandiari got really bad cards all the time.

Durrrr play every hands but IMHO he ran pretty good, he got something the majority of the time(in this season and the previous), and also he is so deep and he can play a lot of cards just for pot-odds,

Wasn't durrr quite nitty when he checked his QJ 2 pair on the river? Clearly a bare ace was a big part of DN's range...

well he pretty much tells everyone exactly what he has after every hand, so it must be easy to confirm reads.

I'll lay 2:1 on up to $50 that when Ivey says "this could be the sickest call of all time" its not the hand that him and Dwan get it all in against each other with.

Because Tom Dwan calls him out for pretending not to know what EV is, while talking about EV.
