'Are you insulting my integrity?'

Good idea Patrick

Tom Dwann is a genius.

Tom Dwann is a genius.

Seconded. Real shame about those aces - he really trapped Barry well there, especially with the all-in which I think looked very much like a bluff.

[igisjana]

I found him playing against Kaplan, Doyle, Elezra and some internet kiddos on PAD Nets vs Vets. Plays well there, too. You can find it on www.nbcsports.com/poker

Episode 5 should be out soon at this link.

Just a HU guys, the best place to watch HSP is http://www.pokertube.com

They also have a tremendous variety of other programmes, though you might have to wade through a fair amount of dross.

Also, respect for Durrr goes up a lot after noting his reaction to the aces cracked hand. Top stuff.

[igisjana]

WOW! Barry's play is amazing. The one hand against Eli is just absolutely brillant. Dwan also great as per usual and Negreanu is just on tilt and playing stupid. What did you think?

P.S. I'm Connor btw

[Birkin]

need new table ASAP, i'm getting pretty sick of this table dynamic:
ziigmund horrible timing every time,
eastgate weak/tight,
negreanu tilting,
doyle ubernit,
barry great but lucky,
dwan sick,
benyamine card dead,
elezra standard donater.

Well you got your wish, eventhough the durr-stein war was just getting interesting. I mean $919,000 that is not bad for a pot. At least we get to listen to the rambling monologues of patrick antonious, see daniel negranu tilt off another $400000 going for all possible draws and the great banter between laak and 'the magican'.

[Birkin]

I can't wait to see the aftermath of the Laak-Antonius pot...

"I've got 3rd pair no kicker, and i've been triple-barreled by an UTG raiser whos a huge nit.... ummm call".

Its just dirty.

[ElGeneral]

BTW, Dwan refusing Barry's offer to take back some money when they're flipping for a close to $1million pot is the most baller thing I've seen on televised poker.

[igisjana]

New Episode out and it is really unbelievable how durrr plays. I always think 'Okay he can't play perfect everytime' and then he does things like the thing he did against the professor in the latest episode. I've never been mor attracted to a guy in my whole life!

[igisjana]

GSN now set the status of the ninth episode of HSP to private, so no one can watch it anymore. I guess I was just pretty lucky that I actually got to see it in the time period between them fucking up by accidentally putting up an episode too early and them realizing it...

Episode 9 is here

Awesome. Nice one Nick!

I love Daniel's impressions

Spoiler: show

Wow @ Antonius' call down with the four. Also incredible last hand. Not sure about the less than 2x reraise preflop by dwann... but I know nothing about poker really so maybe it's good...

[tiltsman_hunter]

who else wants to give durrrr a blowjob?

[igisjana]

here!

[Patrick25]

Episode ten just shows how ridiculously unlucky daniel is. Whenever he hits the flop well someone else has something better. He never makes his draws and seems to always get rivered.

[igisjana]

Yeah, not only a shit player but also unlucky...
