captain speculation, ladies and gentlemen.

seriously, what are you basing this on? do you realize that durrrr used concepts way beyond most of our understanding (the sick betsizing to leverage eastgate into folding, the repping a stronger perceived range than barry's to get him to fold AA, etc)?

i bet daniel and doyle make the same folds (though doyle probably just overbet jams either the flop or turn if he has a deuce, never giving durrrr a chance to bluff), and eli is just a millionaire fish, who cares what a fish would do in that spot...

durrrr's play there is borderline godlike, and he's creeping into "best of all time in terms of ability" territory. ask any mid-high stakes HE/PLO players how much they fear durrrr, they'll tell you.

hopefully you don't start spewing the same old "he's an internet kid, he'll be bust in 3 years" because it's simply not true. his understanding of the game is divine. seriously.

I'm basing it on all the poker video I've seen of Daniel, Doyle and Eli. Have you ever seen them fold trips for any amount?

Yes I love that show but Gabe Kaplin's commentary is complete garbage

Agreed, wtf at his definition of small ball.

is that a relevant sample size? do you think durrrr has neglected these videos that everyone else has seen? sorry, but you're pretty much just wrong here.

DN was borrowing money from durrr actually hehe, durrr must be sickeningly rich.

Yeah I think he has a much larger roll than people credit him with. Not sure how correct their facts are on this, but in the latest addition of 'Bluff Australasia' there is a 3 page article titled 'durr inc'. In it they say that before Dwan had turned 21, and was yet to play a wsop event, he has had considerable success in it, backing two bracelet winners and some final table players???

Anyone know more about this and if it is true or not?

lol...Okay I'm wrong and you're right. Happy. I was just giving my opinion. Sorry I upset you.

Wonka22 · Mar 17, 2009

Is it just me?? or am I seeing HUGE ranges in this game...I watched all 3 episodes yesterday. Dwan was making some sick plays....

Dwan may be good...but no wonder there are so many people playing crap hands on the internet.....3x the bb will get called by the most god awful hands.....I had QQ yesterday......3x bb I opened the betting guy around the table calls.

Flop comes 2 4 9r.....I think this is a good flop....put in a bit less than a pot sized bet. 8 on turn, I check, Villain checks. J on river. I push all in. Guy calls....he's got a freakin 2 4 offsuit.....I just cannot figure this game out anymore.

justadream82 · Mar 17, 2009

I've only watched the first episode of the season but it seems to me like Durrrr plays alot better online than live.

But then again I've seen him look 120k$ online like its nothing also.

Did you notice when Eastgate had him on the trips and Durrrr was like thankyou because he shouldv'e lost another 100k$ in that hand easily.

Most hilarious episode of HSP ever in my opinion.

Wonka22 · Mar 17, 2009

they've all been good episodes....it's just such loose play....they had a family pot on one hand preflop...crazy

Melkor · Mar 17, 2009

I think DN said on 2p2 that because of the antes there is so much in the pot preflop and they are so deep that you have to see a load of flops.

Still, being so insane postflop as some of them are I am not surprised they see so many flops.

Sonic_x_Reducer · Mar 17, 2009

I can't wait until next week. The previews make it look like Barry G. and Dwan get into a pretty heated hand. They kind of make it sound like Dwan makes a total dumb call down and sucks out on Barry.....should be exciting to watch!

Yeah it was a huge hand, and you were right except that it was Barry that made the bad call and sucked out on Dwan's AA.

diamond_06_06 · Mar 23, 2009

Lol at Dwans comment -

"They can't let me get sucked out on for $600,000 and then not give me any alcohol for 2 and a half hours, thats not ok."

GeoffLacey · Mar 23, 2009

It was Dwan's yawn when the 9 came on the turn that made me laugh

He is just pwning this season so hard though at the moment, and it sounds like it's more of the same next week

MDTed · Mar 23, 2009

A boring episode.

BG shows what a donk he is by going all in with his J9 and then, like all those donks before him, win with the worse hand. It's almost like he was doing the hand on Full Tilt where I swear going all in with the worst hand is almost a guarantee to win. (Rigged? lol)

There really were no good hands, nothing anyone would remember after the season is over.

Yes, probably he is... But did you see the hand he played (holding QT) against Barry Greenstein (holding AA) and Peter Eastgate (holding 42) with a flop 2T2?
The way he played that hand cannot be explained just saying that he is lucky.

I think it is easier to get great players to lay down those hands, Barry made a great lay down, and peter just made a tight fish lay down.

I think peter east gate is will be out played by all.

This is the best poker show out there. Now if only the would bring back Shana Hiatt.

MrDuff1331 · Mar 23, 2009

i enjoyed episode 4. you were right and there weren't many memorable hands but watching these people play will never get old. and i like what ziggy and durrrr bring to the game. and anyone see doyle after he took a drink. it was so funny i laughed pretty good! i believe it is around 20:55 of episode 4.

GeoffLacey · Mar 23, 2009

ziigmund's is just not a NLHE player. It's a real shame that if someone was watching him for the first time, they'd think he was pretty awful. I mean, what was the K high call about? Without durrrr, it wouldn't be a great season. Although, to be honest, I think durrrr's presence is having a real affect on everyone. They just seem, well, almost afraid of him. Greenstein was shaking in that big hand, Doyle seems grumpy, Negreanu's on total life tilt, although, understanably so and seems to be very jealous of Dwan. Although, I am a complete durrrr fanboy

He's been pretty awesome lol

Mase31683 · Mar 23, 2009

Yes, Durrrr = The Man <---Super underlined, italicized, and bolded!

moots · Mar 23, 2009

Episode 4: Tom is good, but very unlucky.

Mase31683 · Mar 24, 2009

OMG, GSN filed a claim so now HSP isn't available on pokertube?????

GAH

Where else can I go for it?

Sonic_x_Reducer · Mar 24, 2009

I'm just very surprised at how Doyle is playing. Like Gabe Kaplan says "hes playing low-ball poker." I wonder if he has lost a lot lately and is playing very tight just to ensure he makes a profit here.
