im just now watching the recent berkey / adlestein cash game on poker go. how is it that berkey gets staked for the highest games in vegas? who stakes him and why? he is awful.

Who's Rob Keno?
Tough name to search, but I'm not finding any Hendon or anything involving poker online.

I can't find the article, but I remember reading that Berkey got backed by a wealthy financier that he's friends with. It sounded like the backer was more interested in supporting a friend/sweating action than evaluating their arrangement as a serious investment opportunity.

Berkey's play is certainly inconsistent. If you watch the 'Dead Money' series he talks a lot about the staking and living on the edge of his BR. Apparently he was 'the draw' to the high stakes games in Vegas and then won it all back, whether from 'better' play or just running hot, don't know.

I think he played some suspect spots when Perkins was in the lineup to try and draw him into better spots later but there were others that definitely need some better explaining off camera as to his thinking. GL

Dnegs donking off buy-ins right now then acting like a d*bag to Hellmuth for not donking off his stack.

lol I watched some old HSP last night featuring Dnegs; he is/was cringe-worthy bad.

He is cringe-worthy but tbf he's a way better player than Hellmuth

Skipped day 1 and went to the Hellmuth show.

It is odd that Daniel, table talk wise, only cares about needling Phil. Comes off weird...

Phil tanking for like 6 minutes with overs and a flush draw for like 100 Bigs on the flop, and folding.

Daniel and Phil were talking about how "This will be the last one til August"
... Last one?
Ya, they're moving stadiums(?)... They'll still have the high roller bowl and tournaments but no poker after dark until August

Did anyone else hear that?
Is that true, if so, I mean I'm for sure out

This is awful news.

I thought they would put together some great lineups during the summer, because of how many people are in Vegas.

I did hear that conversation and was a little taken aback by it, but they do have quite a few WPT Final Tables and the SHR events on their schedule. I'm much more interested in how they are going to improve their WSOP coverage this year ... with my subscription rolling over in July that will play a pretty big influence.

I think DNegs was a bit bored playing 'so small' and the action was pretty tight. At the end I think he was just trying to spice up the stream a little. PHell's fold 'playing for the YouStake people' was pretty bad and I don't really think anyone who really actually paid would've minded the call. JAusmus did get a little unlucky in spots but made some curious non-plays. I'm not sure what stakes he normally plays but maybe he didn't want the 'wife and kids' to see him wiggle around with 'so much' cash. GL

They will probably be doing WSOP final tables everyday.

Which personally for me I would like especially if they include many of the mixed games and not just all of the NLHE one

Degen on degen violence and yet the supposedly serious player in this hand makes the most awful play? Hilarious.

THIS

Scotty Nguyen, babyyyy!

we need more PLO. and not just with all pros. The lineup with Galfond, Durrr, Haxton was boring. Maybe bc I watched the Aussi Matt episodes first.

People want to see blood when we see PLO. We want to see how these pros adjust to amateurs and maniacs. not just perfect ranges clashing which results in a whole lot of x/f spots and no hands making it to the turn. I had such high expectations but it was boring. You need Durrr, an Aussie Matt, someone like Ben Lamb who can interact and keep it light, ect. Racks of Lamb week line up was great. The big cash game with the top pros was a snooze fest. Put Aussie Matt on every PLO show or someone like him that forces these pros to adapt and puts them in difficult spots

I think some heads up action will also be fun. In both PLO and NLH.

Aussie Matt vs gus Hansen Hu PLO ftw imo

With the right lineup, a PLO game can be crazy action and big laughs. I think the nature of the game facilities that environment more than NL. I'd like to see PokerGo put together an 8game stream. Funniest conversations and stories I've heard at a poker table were usually a mixed game table.

I'd even be interested in watching Gus Hansen, Aussie Matt and some businessman play 3 handed Pineapple OFC. Can't be worse than that dating show.

I'm admittedly out of touch with the poker world, so I'll throw out this question: what would be the ideal-yet-plausible PLO table?

By "ideal," of course, I mean the best players to watch. But by "plausible," I mean players who would likely get an invite from the producers. So I'm looking for a combination of those two factors.

Sammy Farha.

agreed. it was pretty boring compared to the kirk episodes.

Aussie Matt, Gus, Patrik, Durrrr, Rast, Lamb

ivey’s return and literally any other five people
