That robl guy or whatever his name is, sucks man. No offense but he's garbage and doesn't deserve to play at these stakes. Goes all-in with AQo. lol

If he had AKs, I would somehow understand. But all-in with AQo? This isn't a tournament. That robl guy never changed, never will. He pulled this same mistake against Howard Lederer when Lederer had Aces. But fortunately, Robl hit a set on the turn to win a pot against Lederer in 2008 WSOP 5k buy-in mixed limit/nolimit holdem event.

This may sound biased since Lex and Elky are two my favorite players but when Lex went all-in with AQo, it was different story. Robl's case was coin-flip at best and very likely dominated by anything AK, QQ, KK, AA, etc.

I don't think the Robl AQo hand is that bad. It's fairly comparable IMO to the Hellmuth-Adams TT/T7s hand. The SB is squeezing what he perceives to be a wide CO open and a BTN flat; in Adams' case he admitted he was wrong in that read as Matusow had a good hand while Ivey had a weak hand.

PA's raise is a tad on the large size, suggesting he doesn't really want action. Robl probably puts him on a medium pair (99-JJ) that he has good equity against and probably feels he can get PA to fold a lot of his range based on his nitty image (he c/c river withmiddle set).

Iight. I take my words back. Hands down. Sorry for my ignorant post. I just think he made a mistake with AQo because he knew he was behind and with that raise, it's very certain that Patrik is not folding to his shove and he'll be putting his money in while being behind where he's coin-flip at best. Just my opinion. But hey, what do i know. This guy made million while I haven't done shit. Can't berate a player who has made millions.

I don't like Gabe in the booth by himself, why not keep AJ and Gabe and then add Kara to the floor? I know the guy who produces this show does poker after dark also, seems like the same shows now. Oh well, good lineup. As long as the players still banter at the table and the action is good, the show should still be good.

I heard a couple interviews with AJ after he was let go. Man, was he mad!! Don't get me wrong, I'd be mad too. But he was talking about GSN stealing food out of his family's mouth and that they should have more class than that and stuff. It was interesting...

He also said the person in charge was a woman. He felt that she wanted to make a name for herself and thought that lonely guys who can't get a girl play poker, so having a 'pretty girl' (to interject, Kara Scott is a poker player, not just a 'pretty girl') would bring in more viewers.

At the end of the day, as long as the show is on, I'll watch. Can't see anyone leaving because of the changes. Even if they don't like them.

That's a horrible flop to raise. Compare to this hand and the reasoning is largely the same; the hands he wants to fold out aren't folding and the hands that he can beat are mostly giving up once he calls the flop anyway. Except, of course, that Durrr knows how to fire 3-barrels with air.

The river call isn't quite as amazing as some of you make it out to be. His river range is polarized. He'll have a set some of the time (although discounted since he didn't 5bet preflop; he likely would have with kings and queens, at least, given that Ivey is unlikely to flat AA and KK after someone else had already flatted a raise) and AJ some of the time, but his value range isn't terribly wide. Ivey gets ~2.5:1 to call the river, and I think what ultimately tips the scale to a fold is that Durrr could be turning a better hand than A6 into a bluff (e.g. 77/88/99 or T9). That's why AT is a stronger bluffcatcher than A6, and I think AT (assuming he would have gotten to the river somehow with it) would have called.

It's rare that I bother watching these shows because most of the time it's celebrity tournament players who quite frankly aren't that advanced in their cash game who like to splash around, but Dwan and Ivey are great fun to watch.

They should bring AJ back into the studio with Gabe and have Kara as the roving reporter. I'm going to give GSN my opinion on this, probably won't amount to much, but at least they will have some fan input.

It's great how Kara isn't really allowed to talk. They shold bring back AJ. He and Gabe were good together.

I thought Kara could be okay... she isnt. She's just annoying, AJ PLZ. I really hate that he didnt want to leave and they made him...

Without AJ(or anyone for that matter) it seems like Gabe runs out of things to say.
