High Stakes Poker is back 12/16/2020. *Spoiler Warning* - Page 26 - Poker News

For the record (and balancing the thread): not sharing the hate.

I kind of enjoy his robot persona at the table with all the more lively live pros, as it's probably a perfect avatar for if I were there somehow.

Also he's got a pretty good beard.

He’s a cool guy, plays relatively fast, and doesn’t say cringey stuff. You don’t need everyone to be super aggro or have their mouth running all the time, that gets annoying fast

Over the years I've heard many bad regs and poker enthusiasts talk strategy and drop poker terminology at the table, but never have I heard someone mention Sklansky Bucks. NEVER. This is completely unheard of and in no way forgivable. The nerd whose name shall not be mentioned should be banned from all future broadcasts. A one or two week delay on the release of future episodes is in order so that PokerGo has time to edit these episodes in order to blur him out and scrub out his table talk.

The NP hate is utterly bizarre.

Great episode, best of the 3 so far.

Yeah it’s a little over the top

While I did call him Wormser I meant nothing terribly mean about it! He did construct that super javelin, he’s a smart dude

You got to be an online player who sits alone behind a screen all day in order not to understand the problem.

Every experienced live cash reg understands it.

He’s more fun to play with than JRB at least.

Patrik rarely talked when he played and no one cared. Was also fairly tight/serious/methodical compared to Tom/Daniel or the rec players.

Live-poker-omerta's ?

Seems like some sort of high school stuff. The guy is who he is.

But I do guess there is some truth, because you can't have five of those at the table.

I’m for pros in the game. Creates a good balance.

I've played hundreds (maybe even thousands) of hours of live poker and don't see a problem with Nick's attitude/behaviour/play style.

It's not like he's sitting there waiting for aces and not talking to anyone ffs.

These nerds kill the games. Nobody wants to play with them and certainly nobody wants to watch them. Patrik Antonius is not a nerd, he's an Adonis. Men aspire to be like Patrik Antonious. Nobody aspires to be like Arnold Poindexter, trying to pickup chicks using Sklansky buck lines.

Poker is boring. If you haven’t figured that out by now I just feel sorry for you. It’s like these people have been locked away in their parents basements for a decade and are now just coming up for some sunlight. Where the hell have these guys been for 10 years?

Being perpetually stuck playing low live stakes cash games = being a experienced live cash game player around here. Any live poker player worth their salt knows that table image and live reads is how you get the big bucks.
