No Gamble No Future (show on PokerGo) - Page 2 - Poker News

Who said he's a pro?

He's awesome!

Watched the first 2 episodes it's Great
Wish they would do away with the split screen though

I remember Hanks used to basically live in the borgata poker room playing 10/25 and 2/5 /50 nl over a decade ago

The whole prop bet thing get/got old, since it's quite clear the commentators aren't actually betting real money. It's just like a talking point, we don't need to hear about your fake bets every 3 minutes

Agreed. Not to mention there's no real way to gamble on any of this. We also don't need to see the Commentators faces during the most crucial spots, let us watch the players.

Easiest explanation is the same as any mega blaster. Either he started to actually feel the losses financially or dumping 6+ figs every time he played started to get old. He probably just found more exciting ways to blow through his funds.

This show would have been great with Gabe/AJ or Ali/Nick commentating, as is Brett Hanks is the absolute worse..

still great action, first time Alex Keating has ever been steamed up on a TV show.

It's on PokerGo which is a for-pay subscription website.

I have no idea if past episodes are available elsewhere.

Persson had a weird strategy playing so passively pre w/AK and other big hands and allowing it to go 5-6 handed. It cost him big on at least 2 occasions when he flopped pretty big and some other hand he could've forced out ran him down.

Pretty good show, really enjoyed it. Lineup would've been perfect if they had added 1-2 interesting pros in place of the 2 nits.

0/2 imo

Others are great but I like Hanks. Also this is a donk fest, Nick Schulman analyzing this would be like Mozart commenting on a boy band

Also Keating has been on poker go stream before

I gave this a try, but it is like all other high stakes streaming games, boring and fake. It is just bad reality TV.

Maybe the experience is better/fine for watching the whole episode or on a laptop or tv but it doesn't translate well to mobile.

Ye the split screen is a big issue, especially if watching on the phone. It's nice to constantly see the board and for some reason i do forget it when split screen happens and then the excitement is gone.

Overall not a show I'm interested in.

The split screen isn't as bad on a laptop but still sucks

Perrson telling hicks ‘that is the worst bet ever’ and still calling (chefs kiss). It’s not the worst bet ever but I imagine hicks is never bluffing him in this spot 7 ways or value-betting anything worse than a big flush. And Perrsons not awful so in the back of his mind he knew this but was too tilted to fold

Seems like the kind of guy who could physically attack someone at the table. Pure speculation based on his demeanor tho

Could not get into this. Brent Hanks is super irritating on commentary and the line up they had was awful as well. That one super nit guy (forget his name) is not what you want to see when it was meant to be a loose game.

Almost looked like an episode of High Stakes Poker, if a) the stakes were way lower, and b) all players were Jerry Buss.
