Thanks for that link! I really miss Gabe Kaplan's commentating. Does anyone know if he is retired or do production companies simply won't hire him anymore for poker?

You would be surprised. I have random people tell me they watch it a lot still and these people have played very little poker in their life if any at all.

I used to watch it a lot when High Stakes Poker was on. I still cast it on my TV sometimes from Youtube.

Mostly agree. The only high rollers worth watching are the ones with the Macau Crew as they are entertaining and employ more aggressive tactics, otherwise I think the main events where people actually make mistakes and even talk occasionally are a better watch.

I've always looked forward to the main event and have watched it every year. This year I watched the entire thing and feel like I wasted 2 weeks of my life doing so. I think I'm finally done with it.

I still watch, but it's not like I'm proud about it, or anything.

I just came across the new High Stakes Poker channel on YouTube with all the old seasons and episodes. Its still quite entertaining to watch after all these years, even with how awful the play is compared to now.

I'd watch cash games but there are none to watch. Tournies don't even matter to me until it's final table time and even then it's meh.

Time wasted that is enjoyed, isn't wasted time at all.

Rewatching the High Stakes Poker vids that got recently uploaded to Yuu Tuube.

For sheer entertainment value, this is invigorating. Watching this gets you excited for poker. It's like, if I was playing at those stakes, this type of game would be the ideal one seen in me head. Fun, action packed, and BRICKS ON BRICKS. I forgot the episode but there was one pot where there were two 50k bricks in the middle, and they got switched for chips, when Eli Elezra (winner of pot) sez, "My wife would prefer the cash."

The only time I watch poker on TV is during the WSOP, while it's playing at the poker room. I tried out PokerGO, but quit after the 7 day trial and now I mainly watch Twitch and Live at the Bike.

Triton poker and LATB have surpassed PokerGo in content by a long shot. They are also free.
