High Stakes Poker - Page 21

i remember when i thought those "pros" were my hero just cuz they had the $$$$$ but now they are still my hero cuz they teach the fish how to play. lol
this is why i lost 500$ before i came to lp cuz of them donkeys showing me how to play. i remember when i was a farha. God lucky it is funny or i never watch the show.

what episode number is the latest one? #9 or #10 ???

10

Wow, next week's episode will be orgasmic. I hope PA bulldozes over the table. I was hoping to see Ivey there. WTF? Any word on the players on next season? I know Brian Townsend will play...

i cant wait to see Guy Laliberté playing with all the pros..

he was fun to watch at the WPT main event final table.

what the hell why is it so inconceivable for the 7's to be good there? he's played all those hands online and that's never happened to him? WTF

No man he is pro, he can handle playing many tables at once. But he has trouble figuring out if his hand is good I think he was embarrassed. But what he did I find even more embarrassing.

He might've open folded for another reason...

That is to keep his tight image.

lol

Is Guy a professional poker player or just a rich degen? Brunson said that only one person could really afford to play at the next episode and that was Guy... I am wondering how big a bankroll people like Esfandiari actually has to play $500k.

Guy Laliberté is the founder of the "cirque du soleil" and is a multibillionaire.. he learned poker playing the big game at the bellagio.

in HSP 1 Esfandiary said after losing a 200K pot that it was the biggest one he ever lost, so imo he isnt rolled to play with 500K.. neither is negreinu. they probably sold parts of themselves or took a big risk. PA, Benyamine and co. can afford it i guess

to be REMOTELY-sanely rolled for that game we're talking at LEAST $12m bankroll and at least half of those guys don't have that.

Are you sure Negreanu isn't?

If Negreanu isnt I would say he is close. Maybe he dosent have his poker bankroll up that high but including his total net worth he can play in that game with no problems. He has bought in for a million in season 1 for gods sake?

8 hungry wolves at the table and they all want a piece of the same sheep named Guy.

Edit -- This is speculation as to who has big enough rolls to comfortably play

I think probably

Negreanu
Guy Laliberté
Doyle
possibly Phil laaks entire equity (mixed with his wives) becuase most poker players dont have rich wives to include...
I would guess barry greenstien might be close?
maybe todd brunson becuase of his daddy

anyone else care to speculate? I could be really wrong. I would also agree they probably sold shares of themselves to play in this game.

chip reese, ivey and greenstein seem the most likely candidates

but i'm ruling out reese because of doyle's comment, and ivey probably isn't in either because they would have advertised that i guess

7 players confirmed from the preview:

Farha
Doyle
Esfandiari
Antonius (!)
Benyamine
Daniel Negreanu
Jamie Gold (ROFL)

ohh that guy is the biggest loser on FTP I think

that gave me goosebumps

micro spoiler: someone will lose a lot of money in like 30 minutes (buy-in + rebuy)..

each night i dream that its Jamie Gold
