Jared "RelaxedPrecision" Huggins on PS Big Game 7/11 - Page 8 - Poker News

So? You don't know his reasons. One of my friends has never touched alcohol because his father died from his alcoholism.

Who cares, it's not something that defines someone it's just their choice for whatever reason.

.

yeah, but it would surely raise some eyebrows if he only avoided one specific type of alcohol but not others.

anyway, it's not like I care or anything. it was just a passing thought. anyone is free to do whatever they want and I don't judge people by their gastronomic preferences

i guess i'm the only one who still really enjoys the big game? haters gonna hate but i think it's easily one of the best poker shows ever. hard to compete with HSP in its prime but for me TBG brings to the table: more hands shown, less flawed analysis, the loose cannon aspect which i enjoy overall and, most importantly, stapes. joe stapleton is awesome and i could listen to him all day

ive never watched it before but i quite like the commentary. Its way better than HSP. Just a shame that Jared is playing so weak.

So were the watch and the suit just a loaner, or did he get given them because he was appearing on TV?

I didn't say that. I said it was weird to never TRY either one.

Guess things will have to loosen up in the next couple of shows. No point keep nitting it up towards the end.

It's heartbreaking to watch a guy get an opportunity like this and make no attempt to profit from it. Maybe he doesn't realize you only keep any monies above the 100k!

watching him is painful

amanda's peanut gallery comments at the end of every episode are just as bad. as soon as she starts walking towards the table, i stop watching.

I think it's a great show. Lots of fresh faces (e.g. nanonoko) and usually some good action. The LC/set/Amanda doesn't matter that much to me as long as there's a couple of genius pros at the table.

This is just sick...
This guy is just bleeding away the chips.
How could he get any action when he acctually continues bet/raising post-flop?
and 0% 3-bet... lol

This guy is a nice story and all, but he has to be the worst person ever on this show. Also, I now know why he is broke because he is terrible at poker

4. At first I thought it was sort of interesting that Greenstein had never had a beer or a cup of coffee. One minute later, I felt it was creepy and weird. I mean, that's freaking weird, right?

5. What is the opposite of "Relaxed Precision?" "Uptight Randomness?" Someone please improve upon this.

6. Did Amanda Leatherman get (another) boob job? Her breastesses looked way too big for her little frame.

7. I am done watching this show. It sucks really bad. The format should obviously change the style of play drastically, yet it doesn't seem like any of the LC's has actually realized this.

8. Remember when there was this awesome show on, called "High Stakes Poker," and Gabe Kaplan and A.J. Benza were the hosts? Remember that?

Wow, you've got a lot of negativity and hate inside you sir. Is there anything you get positive feelings about(without hating it later!)? What caused you to feel so bad? Is it your life? Oh I know, it's that "everything was so much better in the past" cynical thing right? I wish you the best of luck with your problems.

I find myself fast forwarding this show a lot between the hands. It's not that great of a show. Also the pot limit preflop betting is ******ed.

why?? you dont think seeing more flops is preferable? most of the time it doesn't even make a difference, but the fact that it prevents people from making PF bets too big to get called because theyre afraid of a flop seems like a positive thing for anyone who wants to watch action. if two people mutually want to build a big pot preflop, the pot limit sure isn't going to stop them
