It appears that it's only 3 episodes.

Episode 1 and 2 are selectable. Episode 3 doesn't premiere until December 30. There aren't any episodes listed beyond that.

Would've been better to just do the 5 hour uncut stuff they did for cash games over the last few years.

I feel like poker viewing has somewhat evolved away from 40 minutes of coolers, I'd rather watch 5 hours with all the hands.

Watch "Rob's Home Game" if you haven't. I've been enjoying it so far.

4 episodes and they're 5 hours each.

Yeah, that's what I mean. I've watched 80% of all those PADs
Where it's 2-3 nights in a week that are 4-6 hours, much better.

And I understand that a casual poker fan probably doesn't wanna see raise and take its, or small pots, but I feel like if you're paying for Poker Go you're not a casual fan

How was the commentary?

Just finished the first episode. Decent start, and happy that Gabe and AJ still sounds good as commentators.

Underwhelming first lineup though, little bit grey and boring. Need more heavy weighters in like Ivey or Hellmuth. Pleased to see Lynne from Live at the bike entering the game next episode

Also there is alot more than 13 episodes i believe. If i remember correctly its more like 26 new episodes all together in this season.

Most excellent. The reason why their commentary and chemistry is so good despite either not knowing much theory is that they seem to really enjoy just watching the game and it's infectious. And while someone like Schulman might offer detailed analysis, you can tell it all just bores him as it's just another poker hand to him.

Pretty ugly looking, tbh. Also way too large, or at least appear too large because of how they're stylized.

I'm hoping that they release the full uncut video after airing all episodes.

Just finished the first episode, pretty disappointing that I signed up for pokergo . half the table only has $200k with blinds of $400/$800 and a $400 chip ante, not to mention there has been straddles and double straddles. Theres really not enough chips for interesting play.

Just watched and thought it was fantastic. Gabe and AJ are still great. Was the equivalent of a poker hallmark movie.

Looks like they tried a bit too hard with their card graphics but hey, let's appreciate the effort. Watching Durrr alive and well playing poker to the voices of AJ and Gabe, FeelsGoodMan.

It's great to have Gabe and AJ back as the host of the show. But it's so weird to only have their voice overlays. And NEVER seeing them. But I guess it's the only way due to the Covid-19 situation.

So, I'm assuming they are doing the voice post production remotely and not in together in a studio setting.

That hand where he checked three times out of turn was... weird.

Spoiler:

Open 2k, 3bet 8k, cold call, 4bet 50k in a pot of less than 20?!
Why would you make it this big against spazzy players (or anyone really)?

So, I know I’ll get roasted for this but I don’t get the love for Gabe’s commentary. He’s nostalgic, sure, but 3 hands in and I’m already confused if he doesn’t know what’s going on or just really really dumbing it down.

Salomon sleeper straddles $3K UTG+1, Kenney fold and its live. Gabe says he “raises it up” and then says that Nick “thinks Salomon’s raise it weak”... when he literally hasn’t looked at his hand yet

IDK, I mean just the basic action should be easy, no?
