167-169 0 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 After Harabolos the shows have been lame.The show with Layne Flack was great, Gavin was funny too. For awhile, I couldn't be bothered listening to The Circuit. Hope the next ones are just as good. Sebok needs to speak less and if Huff asks more intelligent questions (tonight, he did a great job pulling tips from Layne) the show would be fantastic. Link to post Share on other sites
rogerwilco 0 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Circuit without Mike is, meh, too clean, too professional.And I care even less about whats going on between Smith/Sebok than about Matusows medication and "bad beats"... Link to post Share on other sites
WhatArunAA 0 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 is it just me.. or is Sebok extremely annoying.. maybe its jealousy .. but I get so pist when he tries to be like " us pros" and " put me in that game and I will have all their money" and all that jazz.a little more then a year ago I read an article by Joe Sebok and he was saying he was barry Greensteins son and he was going to try breaking into the poker world, I guess he just rubbed me the wrong way from that moment.. and he has done nothing to change what I think about him.I do think that Gavin is great for the show, I wish they could add one more star voice to give insight and replace SeC0ck, Nam Le, John Phan, David Singer.. I think this would make it an even better show then it is.[as a disclaimer: I do listen to the show every time and I enjoy it, but it WOULD be better if they kicked out Sebok imo] Link to post Share on other sites
rogerwilco 0 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 ^^^^I completely agree, also Sebok very seldom has anything interesting to say about poker. But I guess it wouldn't be easy to find another pro from Gavin Smith's class to reliably do this job - it's probably quite time-consuming.Get Mike back![as a disclaimer: I do listen to the show every time and I enjoy it, but it was better before they kicked out Matusow imo] Link to post Share on other sites
NoSup4U 0 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I don't know how you all can't like the circuit. I mean, Gavin is fricking hilarious imo. I like Sebok. He frequently admits to not being the greatest pro in the world. If nothing else, I feel like the show give some good insight into professional poker...Mark Link to post Share on other sites
167-169 0 Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 I don't know how you all can't like the circuit. MarkI do not dislike the Circuit. Gavin gives some good insight at times.Recently, the shows been boring. Thats all. Flack was great and Harabolos show was probably the best one!Listen to the previous circuit with Layne Flack. Huge difference. Link to post Share on other sites
ksean9999 0 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 i didn't like sebok at first but he's actually pretty funny if you give him a chance.gavin smith is perfect for the show as was evident even when he was a guest.scott huff is cool and i think it's good to have someone who is NOT a pro - it's helps us relate to it.it might be cool for them to bring back mike in small doses since a lot of people enjoyed him on the show.and maybe it's a bit ironic but my favorite circuit episode ever was the "barry g episode"i haven't heard the show as much lately but i remember that one - i could listen to barry talk all day about pretty much anything.

Mercury69 3 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I'm surprised Theresa hasn't been all over this thread yet. She wants to have, like, ten thousand of Layne Flack's babies. Link to post Share on other sites
doublemeup 0 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 This is how I feel about the CircuitI've listened to every show probably at least twice. There will never be another Mike Matusow, when he was in the studio, those were the best shows BY FAR. Mike WAS the Circuit, bad beat rants, calling everybody donkeys, talking about the different pills he was on, I loved every second of it. I really hated it when Mike left because Joe and Gavin don't come close to Matusow BUT I've come to really like them. I guessed they've grown on me. I think the Circuit is pretty damn funny, has some good poker content and is really entertaining. I look forward to listening to it the next day. They're guests could be a bigger of course but they've gotten Chris and Layne on the last couple of days so thats a great start. Now we need to see Ivey and Doyle in the studio. That would be great.

mrfrankhg 0 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I love the circuit. Matusow is great for tv but was terrible for radio IMO. Gavin is the nuts though.BTW, that call was me the other day, (on a dare) "Tyrone" who called up and said I traded Sebok for Olga Varkonyi and a can of Chef Boyardee. I called in today again on another dare so we'll see if my call makes it... Link to post Share on other sites

Sebok gets so pissed, yet he has no idea what it means, and he doesn't seem to be aware that it is a joke. Link to post Share on other sites
