It was almost like Richardson was backing Grinder. He also berated the Dealer a couple of times. He's no stranger to issues at the table as he did a 'slow roll on Poker Night in America as well.

Not sure his back story, but as indicated on PAD he made extra money selling jewelry to waitress where he worked as a bus boy. That's got the makings of a self starter ... which can lead to some arrogance along the way if super successful.

There was some questionable plays along the way as well. Farah made another 'big' lay down after putting a decent portion of her stack in PF/Flop ... and connecting. I'm not sure if I lay down the gutter/nut flush draw she had where she ended up with 4/6 of the pot when they ran it twice.

I was pleased that JC was as loose as he was and really carried the show quite a bit after it was obvious that Grinder's seat was running bad.

I still find it amazing that the Dealers can't spread a decent Flop (could be the RFID cards) and that Dealer absolutely slaughtered doling out the pots when they had the three-way all-in when the first Board chopped. GL

Who do you want to see play on the New Poker After Dark?

NOT Maria Ho, yawn fest. . .

Maria Ho making one horrible fold after another on today's episode so far.

Extremely mediocre lineup. They can't even get the right Galfond lol.

It's sad that the current generation of young women have been driven so insecure by celebrities, models, and advertising that they feel the need to get unnecessary plastic surgery. Maria and Farah have both definitely spent some time in the chair to get their upper lips artificially puffed up. It never looks good to me if it's not natural, but I guess some guys must like it.

You started the post off well considering there's some ridiculous surgical shenanigans going on in the celebrity world now. Then you ended the post on...... a ****ing lip filler


Bruh

It's not as bad as hip surgeries and butt implants, but it still looks ridiculous and it's so obvious 90% of the time that I don't know who they think they're fooling. To me it just comes across as insecure and desperate, not attractive.

And..........
Richardson rips AK allin over 4 or 5 limps for ~500bb. Get that money.

This lineup sucks. Who doesnt want to play these stakes on TV? Get me on there.

I think The Grinder is broke and thats how Richardson got on the show. He is the money guy for these degens

Yes .. Grinder not showing very well this week. The way Richardson blew up yesterday on a call Mike made I was thinking that he had his chips on more than one pile.

We can't have it both ways though ... You want to see 'gamble' or you want to see 'good' poker? Preferably both, but it is pretty obvious that 'most' of these players are playing with their own money 'that they care very much about' and perhaps at higher stakes than they are comfortable with.

Maria has shown to be an extremely tight Player better suited for tournaments for quite some time. She did make a good fold last night ... but it was more about the size of the bet than whether or not it was a good fold or not. The bet sizing is pretty bad in some spots where the bettor is not taking into consideration who the caller is ... GL

show is boring as *** so far. maria ho, galfond, cynn are boring to watch. i want to be entertained, i want to see gamblers.

what a ****show

Young is the only dude who I think is remotely watchable. That Russian dude is like watching paint dry. Who picked these mooks?

I also think some of them are not comfortable with the stakes.

Bright is also watchable but his "gamble" is quite varying...

Also as far as Richardson backing Grinder, you can actually see him physically hand Grinder 20k on the show on Grinders 3rd bullet.

Imagine winning 12 million and not being liquid enough for 100k in cash? Me thinks the Grinder grinds on the blackjack table and or the sports bookie...

Richardson is a weird dude. Socially awkward. I bet hes violent too.

PokerGo just posted a special segment on Farah Galfond:

https://www.pokergo.com/video/super-...-farah-galfond

He's definitely awkward and appears the type to have anger issues.

Another observation- for sure Grinders raise with his spades flush vs Richardson trip kings and the ensueing discussion screamed collusion.

Something so off with the whole exchange, lending money and the chastising the bad moves of Grinder. A great example of the shady underbelly of gambling. The Grinder is one of the most prolific poker tournament ( and cash too) officionados is owned by a jeweler. Sad.

Based on your posts in this thread, I could say the same about you.

There are some cool videos where people play chess in New York while wearing an earpiece with Magnus telling them what moves to make. Of course they crush the chess hustlers. It’d be cool to have an rec player with an earpiece then a pro who can see that player’s hole cards and the rest of the table, just not the other hole cards. You could have someone like, well, not Doug Polk, that’s just be unfair to the rest of the table regardless of who they are, but like Torelli or someone good. You could even make a game of it where the pros know the rec player is getting help and they get a bonus if they can guess who the helper is.

Bob Bright is actually a really interesting dude; but when he's one of the action guys at your poke e game,yeah it'd be pretty unwatchable.

Viktor “I crush souls” Blom.

Lol. How are you getting that read?

Beda is a total fish. Cyn made a horrible move when both the straights and flushes got there on turn with both opponents calling a huge raise on turn.

Anyone else notice that Grinder sat with only a stack of 100 dollar chips to the tune of like 2000 for like an hour?

Tells me that Richardson shut off the spicket.

John Cynn must have saved 100 babies from certain death risking his life in the process. His run good is amazing.
