makes sense considering the first hand they had. as announcer said 'if barry won't run it twice, nothing else'.

that being said. i'm amazed how scared east-gate is playing, considering he just won 10M plus. i mean, fuck... that 24 hand vs aa vs q10 on 2210 flop.. wtf.

of all of them, i'm disappointed in dan's and brunson's play. out of the whole show, dan made one 'play' shoving on his flush draw, and missing. i'm positive he only did it cuz of tilt... and ya, doyle. WTF. maybe he's just getting old. i dunno.

but, i have to say. i have to LOL at everyone in this thread talking mad shit about anyones play... cuz they'd obviously shit balls if they had to play for 1/100 of that money

but. sweet justice for durr's kqs. durr did 'play' this table

i gotta say. greenstein is the fuckin man

Greenstein is super tight and boring to watch and in this half of the season he just got a ton of good starting hands. He made one bluff, and even at that he still had a draw attached.

I'm so sick of his poker wisdom that he uncontrollably blurts out when he sucks out on someone. And then when someone sucks out on him he just sits there like a dummy. I wouldn't be angry if HSP never had Barry or Doyle on the show again. Doyle played so boring I wasn't sure if it was him or Jerry Buss.

Sorry for the rant.

/rant

actually Barry is probably the 2nd best cash NLHE player on the table imo, yes he is tight preflop, but he is no weak nit, nigga is going to bring the noise if he needs to.

Last time Barry played short stack in HSP, that was why he was tight. Also, all the small pots where he just made a steal-raise
simply did not make the cut. Usually he plays looser (as he did in this season).

Also, Barry was virtually the only player who was giving Durr a fight. I cannot imagine what this season
would be like without him.

Barry was looser this season? the only non-nut hand i saw him raise on the entire season was J9

baal: you think barry is > all but durrr?

i think the game would get bananas if they had benyamine, durrr, ziigmund, PA, sammy, jamie gold ivey and galfond

is that too much to ask for?

and not to complain about HSP but, i am getting a little bored watching tourney players try to play the highest stakes cash games. TRex, Urindanger, Raptor etc. the HS guys on FTP are more fun to watch.

and negrean kind of owns himself in HSP. its like he gets off on showing the 2nd best hand each time and shaking his head.

I think Barry is up a small amount, and I've been really impressed by his play too, though I don't get his 4betting sizes; seems kinda pointless.

It might have something to do with being like 500bbs+ deep, but I dunno.

he said it was a mistake, that he thought he was grabbing 25k chips, not 50k chips, lol.

He thought he was grabbing 20k chips, not 25k chips.

It's also been said in interviews that Barry played way looser than was shown.

Id also like to add a LOL @

Ziigmund: Am I in for a million?..... thats siiick.

I really liked the way Barry has played in HSP. This season and past seasons. Like Baal said, he is kind of tight preflop, but isn't scared to move his chips around postflop.

It's possible that Barry used his tight image to steal a few small pots which were probably edited out since nobody cares about stealing blinds.

Probably, i think he is close with Ilari and Benyamine, Ilari is a tilt monkey, i think he is very close in skill to benyamine in nlhe.

Barry is definitely better than Doyle, Daniel, Peter and Eli for sure.

+ Show Spoiler +

Was jack high board in a 4bet pot. Postflop he can't ever fold.

I think David is really better than people think. (despite his degeneracy )

i think daniel was runnin really bad whole season, always runnin to nuts with very strong hand. He did some weak plays but if he was runnin good i think he would be up alot, you all have to realize how small of sample is this. And Durr was runnin like Jesus except that hand With AA vs J9. Tho I loved Durrs gamesense.
