Picks for SHR Bowl - Page 7 - Poker News

I keep going between finding Hart amusing and annoying lol. He really brings a different element to these that has defiantly been missing (and maybe rightfully so, 300k is a lot of money) in his upbeat attitude , but then much like his stand-up routine, takes everything just a bit too far to actually be funny.

No doubt this is good for poker though, Kevin competing against these uptight and serious pros while keeping the table alive with chat and "personality" is a lot better for the casual and serious viewer.

You've been on 2p2 since 2004 and this is the first time you encounter the RIP Doyle joke?

Anyone have the full list of chip counts?

I only watched about an hour of the stream, as an above poster stated, Im kind of on the fence about Kevin Hart. I get it, hes trying to liven the game up, and in that aspect hes doing a good job. I did however, find him slightly annoying in a "trying too hard" kind of sense.
The poker play was pretty great though. Im unfamiliar with that Nitsche(sp?) guy, but man did he work in some great plays. Couple overbets that he balanced out well, a pretty sick squeeze with A9 on a J9x flop 4 ways and finished the hand off with a great call on the river. That guy is no joke.

Did not know Jason Les was playing in this. Best of luck to him, although hes somewhat short.

Seems like Doug doesnt have the friendliest of table draws... Mercier 2 to his right, and Siever directly to his right. 2 guys I dont think he gets along with all that well (if memory serves correct about Siever)

I don't find Kevin Hart funny or entertaining in most instances, however props for the Hellmuth needling and slow roll..... It's clear he's been given the brief to try & liven things up as part of his deal with Pokerstars deal but honestly I'd rather re-watch the first 2 seasons of HSP and enjoy the table talk & stories of the real players - it's a shame the current generation, albeit far superior players in the main, utterly fail at this aspect of the game by comparison. As such the game is far less watchable for entertainment.

Personality and being interesting at a table comes with life experience that you can't get when you rarely leave a basement.

I never even watched a Kevin Hart show before, but if this guy is supposed to be the "world's best comedian", I'm giving up on comedy.

Just lay off the large lattes for a couple of days, and boom, you've got the money to see not only the rest of the SHR Bowl, but the start of the WSOP as well.

I can see Scott being an instigator sitting between them.

When Full Tilt and Pokerstars had loads of nose bleed cash games you could rail and freely type in the chat.
Many people (not me) were typing "RIP Doyle" collectively about three times per minute on an almost continual 24 hour a day basis.

So this was from 10 years ago or more, and ironically, statistically a number of those people who typed it must unfortunately now be dead, and he is still around aged 83.

Lesson of the story is do not type RIP Doyle as a joke, cos he'll do his best to outlive you!
