High Stakes Poker

[Patrick25]

Some of the players in episode 11 are so bad, especially Peat. He played his ace really obviously in that hand when minieri had tens. And Meltzer is even worse, calling a raise with ace high then folding to a bet on the turn, what the fuck? No draws or anything. It's like something gardner would do.

Meltzer, I don't know, but Peat is a good Poker Player. Maybe not quite in this episode but overall.

Don't know if anyone will read this, but Andrew Feldman, a UK online/live pro will be the first British person to play on the new season of HSP, which I think airs in January.

He's a huge nit so don't expect anything fantastic. Durrrr recommended him too so I guess he's a fish.

Check pokertube, he played on the full tilt poker late night poker heat (ep7 i think) and got a seat in the final.
