Hsp $500k

[Kurn]

So, we see Jamie Gold, who wants to be known as "the greatest bluffer in the game" learn that you can't bluff a billionaire.

We get to see Gabe Kaplan, in the space of about 2 minutes, tell us we'll see real fireworks on the river becauser Doyle will call (holding 3rd nut flush) Gold's big turn raise (with 4th nut flush), then be shocked when Doyle folds to the raise, and then without even missing a beat explain why it made sense that Doyle folded (old-school play vs. new-school player).

We get to see play that can only be described as "scared money" - Antonius barely getting involved, Sammy playing ultra-tight (well, for Sammy), and Antonio being terrified to call a medium-sized river bet holding a set of aces with the only possible big hand (IIRC) being a back door flush.

Methinks that except for Laliberte and possibly Gold, they're all being staked for this game.

Preview from next week's episode (hopefully unedited):

Jamie Gold - "I'm all in."
Patrick Antonius (instantly) - "I call."

Oh, that's some good stuff right there!

[Kurn]

We can only hope.

[Invigilator]

Watch that not even be from the same hand.

I would so love to see Gold get busted. Maybe he's a good guy, but they sure do portray him as being the most annoying person on the planet.

I'm so tired of hearing about how he wants to be the greatest bluffer.

[New Guy]

Oh I guarantee its going to be two different hands.Thats how they do it in the editing world!!Watch

[Spidey44]

My favorite part of HSP is going to commercial after every hand

I love the show, but wish there were more hands to see!

[Kurn]

Well, it was unedited, and if you haven't seen it, it was indeed a "wow" moment.

There's a math discussion regarding Antonius' decision, but I'll wait to introduce that as it would be a spoiler.

"Driving Miss Raisey Daisy"....lol

WOW moment is right.

I'll leave it at that for now... don't want to spoil it for anyone. But, WOW!

[Kurn]

1st hand took 17 minutes, and made Doyle grumpy for the rest of the show.

[bigd007x]

yea i was really annoyed also how it went raise call preflop but it was going raise reraise rereriase before the flop even came out. they were just tellign each other how to play their hands. i serious cant wait untill gold gets felted so daniel or phil lak can come in the game.

[Akverno]

Any chance someone wants to give a full breakdown of the hand (or post a link to a downloadable version of the video)?

The internet at the middle of bumfuck nowhere doesn't stream video very well.

Gold - Most annoying human EVER.

[Talking Poker]

Wow... that's got to be the most annoying hand I've ever seen played.

And Farha is an IDIOT for checking the river when he should be 100% certain his hand is good.

I can't believe Gold's whining just saved him $185k or whatever it was Farha had left in front of him. Wow...

Also, how stupid are these guys for CALLING dark bets/raises? I mean, MAKING the dark bet/raise is one thing, but why not SEE THE FLOP before calling? It's stupid to call dark. Basically you're just doing more preflop betting (that you should have done preflop anyway) and skipping the flop betting round.

I turned it off after a few minutes of that shit. They took what could have been the best hand on the show and turned it into unwatchable tv. Also, Sammy is a bigger sucker than I thought and Jamie continues to get people to do what he wants by talking and telling the truth. It amazes me.

[Kurn]

No surprise to me at all that Doyle came away a winner. He knew when to fold, when to play. Despite talking about weird stuff like Shogun, he seemed to have a good read on all his opponents, and never once got into a pissing contest like Farha and Antonius.

Well played, Big Papa.

[Spidey44]

I love this show. The season seemed to go fast even though it was like 16 episodes or whatever. Can't wait for next season.
