I get that Hanks and Schulman are being paid to be there but actively trashing your own broadcast is unprofessional. Saying the players are clearly on drugs (and being dead serious about it) is even worse.

I watched an hour so far having a great time and my only complaint was going to be those 2 and I come here and at least some people think this is unwatchable because of the table talk? holy ****.
It's not bc of table talk.
Generally I agree with you and hate when commentators talk over people.
It's bc of THIS table talk. It's a bunch of people who aren't funny that think they are cackling at absolute nonsense.

I stopped watching. Maybe I'll watch the edited version.

Im about 45 min behind live but the first break in the conversation the commentators start pointing out obvious things that are happening on the screen. "Airball overbets and puts his hand on his cheek" is this really better than people having fun and telling jokes?

I want an option to mute these 2 idiots.

"polk firing with the gutshot"
"robs in with a 9"
"and bellande is raising here with the other gutshot"

wow what would we do without this genius giving us the play by play

Nik Airball needs to work on his posture. Based on that Resorts World altercation video, he is much taller than Berkey when standing face to face, yet he is only up to Berkey's neck when both are seated next to each other.

The Berkey-Nik Airball-Doug Polk-Lynne dynamic is a complete nothingburger.

They are all spineless in real life, they just save it for twitter. No surprise at all with this generation of punks.

Lol the crazy chick tweets complaining about Berkey being “bullied” lmao. Berkey limped AA sb vs bb, and called it off having no clue what 2 cards his opponent could have, because he limped. One of Doyle’s famous lines “Never go broke in a limped pot”.

Crazy lucky punt by JRB over Airball. AA vs 66, and JRB draws out on a 300k pot.

That hand was horrendous.
Not as horrendous as Lynn celebrating watching the replay near Berkey while she pretends to be a poker pro but still horrendous.

I really hope that if Berkey had the flush he would have slow rolled in that spot.

This is borderline unwatchable, just so much cringe

This clown Airball is now making fun of Berkey for having a 500K stop loss. What is this final tank, scumbag needs TV time?

that hand where person looks at KK in the straddle position when he had said auto straddle earlier put him in such a weird spot.

An "attractive" female who has latched on to the poker "celebrity" scene.

She played on a HSP season, and was super cringe with stuff like "How much, oh I can call that... That's not even one of my purses"

She plays on Hustler, I think she's had a failed poker vlog and now has a show with Nick and his friend who laughs for him non-stop. It's embarrassing that I know all of this

Genuinely unwatchable for me due to the forced, constant cackling and shrieking. Watched on mute for a while and then lost interest.

I watched like 30 minutes, and turned it off too. Somehow they were able to assemble a lineup of 6-7 incredibly annoying/hateable players. Outside of Tilly... You need some players to root for, nobody here is someone you root for

Okay, so I did skip through the VOD after turning it off yesterday (got bored with watching on mute). I have to say that I am a DP fan from the very beginning and I agree with his POVs almost always. I also dislike MB since forever, but this is nothing compared to how much I hate NA. So I am team MB in the HU challenge.
Anyways, the stream was a total disaster.

DP was constantly talking, like I mean CONSTANTLY. Just click to anywhere in the VOD, chances are it won't take any longer than 5 seconds to hear some jibberish from him. Normally, I like his sense of humor, but this time it wasn't the case at all. Poor timing, poor punchlines... if he was a stand up comedian, all of his bits would have bombed. Complete trainwreck, poker wise I can't recall just a single hand besides the straight<boat against EP. Worst appearance in a long time from him. 1/10.

NA... ya, don't even get me started. I hate this fat POS to my guts, he's the absolute nut low of a human being and deserves all the worst for the rest of his life. I would love to kick his teeth in, but unfortunately I am a basement dweller, so not gonna happen. 0/10.

MB was taking all the jabs kinda well, he looked miserable but that is very understandable, imagine having to sit next to NA for hours with a DP that is behaving like a ****** to the other side. As much as I think MB sucks at poker and shouldn't "teach", I have to say he's not a bad person. The AA against NA, oh well, NA just runs like NA, nothing you can do. I don't think it was a badly played hand at all. No strat in NVG tho. Overall, 7/10.

LJ, who the f keeps inviting this absolutely meaningless gold digger? She has no personality, no talents, nothing. She is super bad at poker, has nothing interesting to say, so besides her above average looks (imo), what does she add to the stream? Her constant giggles at DP and NA made the stream even more unwatchable than it was. 0.5/10

EP, normally I would assume, that apart from NA ofc, he'd be the most annoying player, but annoying from kind of an entertaining POV. He ist just THE prototype of a villain, loud, obnoxious, but always entertaining. And oh do I love his spews and how it gets him all shut up afterwards for at least a couple of minutes. I guess we can all agree, that whatever it was, that brought him through college, it obv wasn't poker, he is not a winner in any given HS cash game and his claims are utter BS. But man is it fun to see him go all in all the time in huge pots, normally being the absolute underdog. Can't recall any of his hands either and he was way too quiet imo. So 5/10 seems fair.

JT, JRB, RY. All of them were cool to watch, esp RY with his punches against DP and all the other guys involved in the drama. He defo was the most entertaining player, I do like him in general anyways, he's rich, plays wreckless but doesn't spew to crazy and always has something interesting to tell. JT and JRB kinda flew under the radar, but I guess this was due to the behavior of the other clowns. So I'd give JT and JRB a 7/10 and RY a 9/10.

Good post lol. Just compare these muppets to the old HSP days. Another world compared to these classless clowns. Polks narcissism was on full display tonight. He is usually far more chill must be hitting some drugs these days. Probably from his mate papi

Lynne's parents must've cut her off because she only played like 3 hands.
