High Stakes Poker On Gsn


Recommended Posts

I started recording this show and its 100x better than any other poker on TV. Im not sure if any of this is really news but some of the guys that I thought would be killing the game make some pretty donkey mistakes (i wasnt there for every hand, im aware), and some players who i thought would be fish played so ****ing good it made my guy hurt.Freddy Deeb folding queens to Negreanu's flop raise on a 245 board. DN had A3. Freddy Deeb folding Queens on a JT986 board because it had runner runner spades. Farha had the spades. Freddy Deeb making a sick call with mid pair for 50k on the river. Daniel had ace high.Basically, Freddy Deeb is a bad *** mofo.Does anyone else watch this?

Why?
Date / Time: 2005-09-30 01:21PM Title: Patrick Jackson Eliminated in 10th Place ($20,000) Log: Patrick Jackson moves all in from the button for $163,000 in chips. Freddy Deeb deliberates for a few moments before calling. Jackson shows J-8 offsuit and Deeb shows As-8s. The flop comes Ks-Js-7c, and Deeb flops the nut flush draw, and still has his ace working for the win. The turn brings the Kh, and Deeb is going to need an ace or a spade for the win. The river hits Deeb, Ad, he pairs his ace, and wins the hand. Patrick Jackson is eliminated in 10th place earning $20,000 for his efforts. I should be more specific when I ask for a red card on the river. :-/

To lower the variance. He doesn't put more money in when he does this and the overall EV is the same.

Freddy Deeb and Sam Farha are both guys that you'd never get to see play like this in a tournament on TV, but are really good and entertaining. You see more skill on this show than in any tournament you'll watch.

I thought that Freddy Deeb played well. No limit seems like his best game. I've heard that he is not quite as versatile at other forms of poker. Having said that, if you really want to watch a good Freddy Deeb match, Daniel and Freddy heads up at the Plaza. That was a true master class. The blinds were relatively low so it played like a cash game to a certain extent. Daniel put on a brilliant performance that must have had Freddy's head spinning. I've met Freddy several times and found him to be incredibly nice and down to earth. Just my opinion.Sidenote: Chris, I kinda looked for you at Bellagio a couple of months ago. Short handed 80-160, didn't look like a great game, but there was a youngish looking guy playing. Maybe that was you?Steve

Freddy's good--real good. A lot of these guys just seem lost. NLHE isn't their bread and butter game for the most part, but, really, some of them just seem kinda clueless. Harman overplaying her set was a classic example--though, she readily admits to not being real comfortable with NLHE.Good to have ya back, btw. Hope you'll stay awhile.

I've been watching the replays...I get a knot in my stomach sometimes when I see people tossing out thirty grand just to see a card.Some people can't get surgery they need for the lack of thirty grand, or food for the lack of ten bucks.I know, if Sammy didn't toss it out there Grandma is still going to die, but, still...

If the overall EV is the same, he shouldn't run it twice, right? I dont think it was a +EV situation. Im sure there's an explination. Maybe they do it all the time. Plus, DN is a GAMBOOLER!

I havnt played in the 80 game recently. I think the last time i was up there was during the 5-diamond classic. I got tattoos of a spade on my right wrist and a club on my left wrist. It's been too hot to wear long sleaves either so they're noticable. May or may not have been me.Im going to have to download the Deeb/Negreanu match up. Both of those guys are fast playing donkeys. Its fun to watch.
