7s7c 0 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Also, I haven't seen much of Daniel Alaei but I get the feeling he's really goodI was thinking the same. There was one hand I believe where he flopped an open ender and called a bet on the flop I think against Chamanara who had either mid or top pair and then when it was checked back to him on the turn I was saying to myself maybe he should bet out here to avoid the draw read by Freddie Chamnasdsddara...which he did and I believe just took it down right there...but I digress...everytime I see him there he is raking.

Not a lot of talk.------------------------Funniest moment on the show was when Matusow said "I was asked, if I could be on an island with one person who would it be.....I said Daniel Negreanu, we'd have a lot of fun together..." Esfandiari replys, "Do you know how gay that just sounded!" Matusow got pretty quiet. I thought it was funny anyway... Link to post Share on other sites
deviper 0 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I to agree that the first episode of HSP was not that good, they need to bring back the players from frist seasons HSP. Hopefully they will be in later episodes, and where is ivey, I would love to see him in that game. Link to post Share on other sites

And then DN kept saying that even then he still wouldn't be able to teach him anything. One of the (very few) highlights of the show. Link to post Share on other sites
disorderlyDj 0 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 The first season everyone was bitching that they didnt get to hear the players talk that much.Now that they got Kaplin and the other hole to shut up for awhile,everyone is up in arms.I thought it was alright,they didnt play that many hands,but I dont think it was terrible.

Swift_Psycho 1 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I thought it was fine. I agree that I'd really like to see more of the big game players in it, but truthfully I found it still an interesting view. Link to post Share on other sites
royalnonsuch 0 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 i dont know about you guys, but just watching fred chaminara attempt to play poker is physically demanding on my digestive tract. just bearing witness to his awful play literally makes me nauseous. it is disgusting, and i pray for gsn's veiwing audience that he never again be allowed to play a hand during their syndicated program. PLEASE GSN DO US ALL A FAVOR AND DONT TAKE UP TV TIME WITH FRED CHAMINARA'S OCTOGENARIAN MONKEY PLAY. thank you and that is all. Link to post Share on other sites

Meh, for the sake of drawing more fish to the poker world, it should never be too disturbing to see people playing bad even in a game that big. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure the caliber of players at $100 6max Party is a little different from GSN HSP. Link to post Share on other sites
Shizzmoney 0 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 where is ivey, I would love to see him in that gameI am curious as well, but yet again, he is a pretty private guy and might not want any info on his cash game out there on TV. But I think this also may have been filmed during a tournament he was playing, so that could be it too. Link to post Share on other sites
keith crime 8 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Really absent sponsors like Fred there is no edge at the table for the other pros unless Hellmuth buys in Link to post Share on other sites
