Message: [QUOTE="FinalTable, post: 525323, member: 15105"] High Stakes Poker isn't nearly as edited as much as WSOP. I love HSP. I haven't gotten to watch all the episodes, but they 3 on the other night and I watched them. Some guys play loose - but if you watch, they fire at a pot and are called...now there is enough in the pot to risk firing again if they just can't put their opp on a hand. Then when they are called, you'll see them just check on the river and a showdown. Watched that several times the other night. The other guy who has the hand, doesn't have a great hand thus the check on the river (avoiding a trap). Also, when you have Daniel (who bought in for a mil) and the blinds are low (relative), he'll call blind w/ any 2 and will call a 2X - 3X raise w/ almost any 2. But the Lakers Owner only bought in for a 100K so he was a little tighter. Lost it all and had to borrow 50K more from Daniel. Point - for the stakes (blinds) they can play looser. If I buy into a .05/.10 table, I'll limp with almost any 2 (24o, 72s/o, and some other crap hands I'll let go). Once I limp, if somene raises to say .30 and everyone calls, that's a lot of money (relative) in the pot and I'm getting odds to draw to anything. So I'll chip in my other .20 with almost any 2...and let it go after flop if I don't hit. If it's a bad flop and I don' think anyone hit and I think I can steal it, I'll fire. If I think I was called with a drawing hand, I may fire again on turn. So it looks like a loose play, and maybe it is...but if he calls the turn, he has something and I'll just check the river and see what happens. I also like when they run it twice (whole board or turn and river). Makes it interesting. That's how you know for these rich guys, it's not all about money. 2 pair vs top pair - and they agreed to run it twice. If you have the best hand, why would you agree to this? Cuz it's not all about money. Someone had a pair and someone had 2 pair. They agreed to run the turn & river twice...first hand the 2 pair held up. The second run, the pair hit a set on turn - but the 2 pair hit a FH on river. So the pair lost both hands and lost pot. Def a change of pace. [/QUOTE]
