I wonder where Sammy gets his money from? They mentioned he had a Rolls Royce in tonight's commentary. It can't be from poker, surely?

Nah, he's a businessman first and foremost.

And the best part of last night's episode was easily the part where whilst a hand was in play, some of the background table talk included the familiar voice of Phil Laak including the phrase '10/20 at the Bellagio'. I lol'd.

thanks for info that the show not done live, but how can you account for this show not getting the poker rules correct.

Oh i saw this programme last night and i actually lol'd

How they were making out they are 'great high stakes players' who 'need action' ahahaha. Like other peopel said, they were just get dominated on HSP

And i also thought they all played tight as hell waiting for the nuts before they got it all in (or a bluff) one of the 2 and that was it

To be fair, anyone vaguely disciplined and with any kind of poker ability would have an edge in this

I was wishing he would call with Ace-high when Channing made the move in the Party Pot and caught a pair of 4s on the river

Frazer's overcall was hilarious. This show plays like a 25nl game online.

Watched most of the last episode... gotta love it. Sammy George's shove and RW3's insta-call, Sammy drawing dead. I don't dislike Sammy but that was quite fun to watch.

Also RW3 is a bit of a luckbox tbh

Channing makes me laugh. His strategy against Sammy George is hilarious. Massively overbet his strong hands on the river and get paid off every time!

The blinds are lower than on HSP or MDCG, yes, but it does make for some entertaining viewing. Sammy George is a natural star. Simply put, bad play is much more fun to watch than good play.

his commentry is decent, far better than Jesse May and the 'Raiser' but soooo monotonous, making me very sleepy

that was by far the best commentary I have heard, feldman knew what he was talking about and always had the right % of the hands.

you guys have got to be kidding - i thought he was horrible and did little else but state the obvious - saying that if comentated live he may have been damn tired which would explain a lot of the mono-tone
