High Stakes Poker...

[Robbie Robb]

It was either that or the Brunson's were the only one's other than him that didn't buy in for the minimum but they only dropped 500K or something.

I found his blog on it interesting. He was trying to tell us as much as he could within the limits of his NDA with the network/producers/whoever.

My take on it was that he did fairly well, but I don't think he won. I think he also mentioned that it would be LLOOOONNNNNGGGG time before it aired so it looks as though GSN may have bumped up the broadcast of it.

My only concern is that it is apparently an hour long series of 13 episodes. So, factoring in commercials, about 42 minutes per episode. According to Negreanu, the game was actually 8 hours of play a day for 3 days. That means that quite a bit of editing went into it. Not a surprise for televised poker, but certainly not the look at the game that the press release claims.

Hopefully GSN up here in Canada carries it. If not, I'll have to make sure Dish Network dish gets re-pointed so I can catch it on there...
