High Stakes Poker coming back (1 Viewer)

Another thing... I settle on Norm Macdonald instead Gabe Kaplan but only if Bill Clinton will play...

It's just I am tired of talking about Phill H. I not his fan but I respect him. If you manage to last 20 years in this business....

Actually 29 years between his first bracelet and his most recent, record, 15th. But who’s counting?

Bet he does...

AJ Benza is bad person. Full stop.

Oh, you want to hate him even more? He gives all of his bracelets away (that’s not the bad part) and at a recent game, he spent half the night talking about promising his 19th bracelet to Rob Yong, because he’s already promised his 16th, 17th, and 18th to other people.

Stapes and Nick Schulman FTW. I'll take Ali as a 2nd to Stapes.

I like stapes, have met and played with him a couple times, but his commentary can get annoying. He’s fine alongside somebody who knows their shit, David Tuchman and he were a good combo for the Galfond challenge stream. Jamie Kerstetter’s commentary is fantastic IMO, she’s a great player and funny and entertaining.
Best duos:
1) Ali and Nick GOAT
2) Stapes and Tuck or Jamie K
3) Norm/Tuck/Ali
4) Gabe and Ali
5) will Kassouf

He is egomaniac married to psychiatrist

Hope they bring Gabe back in. He's such a big part of what made HSP epic. And of course as much table banter as possible with the old guys

Video linked in OP was removed by YouTube. What was it?

Please explain.

 

[SeanGecko]

Please explain.

Worked for Weinstein to cover up an affair along with other catch and kill stories. Pulling gossip to defame innocent parties.

+1 for Nick Schulman. He did the SuperHighRoller Bowls & PokerMasters (plus more I reckon) and both of those are PokerCentral PokerGO I think. He isn’t overly poker nerdy but is obviously very knowledgeable and communicates it well to the audience

Yes, Gabe is humble, relaxed and also a classy character. He brought the show to life!

Almost forgot: FUNNY AS F*CK

Antonio and Laak.

Antonio and Laak.

Noo... Antonio Sure but Laak? To psychodelic..

 

[surfik]

I just realize that Nick Schulman is the guy that commented on High Roller Cash Game... He is great, he just needs a co-host that will bring some humor to the program....

I don’t think Doug is a good fit. He seems much too wrappped up on GTO analysis, which really isn’t what this game is about.

What should a commentator commentate on if not on optimal play? Playing poker well is exactly what poker is about

 

[Mike mac]

this makes me super happy!

Because GTO analysis and explanation is tedious? Sure it's educational, but it's neither entertaining nor applicable to the majority of recs who probably make up the majority of the audience.

What else is there to commentate on though? iirc much of the commentary in the original run was just on table dynamics and drama.

I hope they already taped a few episodes because otherwise we won't see any for a long time.
