Very entertaining. Now I know the true meaning of dead man's hand.

...actually, I think that's nailed what I really disliked about this season.

One of the things I really liked about the previous seasons of HSP was that it didn't have any of that sponsor crap. There weren't any Jack Link's Beef Jerky wild card hands or segments brought to you by XYZ poker site. Hell, the players didn't even wear logos.

Guess it was only a matter of time before we lost that and we'll see over time whether the sponsor segments prove to be just as lame as other shows, but it's unlikely they'll be an improvement over the previous seasons.

I enjoy HSP way more than Poker after dark but I can never find the former on the tv. Thanks for the vids.
Agree with Gabe needing a sidekick. I don't feel the least bit bad about Phil playing J5s and losing.

The show has changed into a Poker After Dark clone, which is exactly what I feared when I heard they had replaced AJ. Even worse, it's a PAD Director's Cut clone, with players discussing the hands right after they happen in taped interviews. Ugh. HSP was its own show. We didn't need a second PAD.

Here's hoping the ratings tank and they "retool" it back to what it was.

Hey, are most people watching this on sites like Youtube and Pokertube? I've generally used Pokertube in the past for this kind of stuff, but wouldn't mind downloading some of the episodes to watch when I'm not online.

Hopefully this isn't out of line, if so, I'll remove it, but does anyone have a Demonoid invitation code? They seem to have a great list of torrents for the poker shows, and it would be really convenient for me to drop some of the episodes on my laptop for when Internet is offline.

And yeah, bring Benza back. The show just feels flat. I really like Poker After Dark, but something just feels like it's missing from Season 6 of HSP. :/

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.

finally got around to watching this episode.

didnt find it all that different. i think gabe by himself is just fine, dont miss AJ at all. there were a couple of weird moment where it seemed like gabe was waiting for a reaction but im sure hell get the hang of it.

all i got to say about the interviews is that at least its in a separate booth and they stop filming the game while its happening.

is it just me or are they showing less hands then usual?

cant wait to see mercier play a cash game.

man durrr was quite this game.

thanks for the clips...HSP definitely looks to be mirroring poker after dark's one announcer, one interviewer format. either way, thought it was a decent episode

that line from ivey "same hand i had last hand" and throws it into the muck preflop. lolol

lol iveys the man, he was getting some serious cards though so people started to call him with anything

i like how he plays a 9 10 off suit the same as he would play AK. definitely works out for him

Kara is nice, but those interviews are horrible. They take you out of the game and Gabe's commentary isn't the same with out AJ, but I'm glad HSP is back on.

I think there was one of the Poker After Dark cash games last year where he finished up but most of the ones I've seen he's lost.

I do love Kara but I have to agree those side interviews are pretty pointless...
Gabe in the booth by him self doesnt seem right :( He needs someone to feed off lol.

Dude do u remeber how u said u were callin ppl's shoves late in MTT's with hands like K4o/K8s etc. We'll ive been doing it every now and then and the results are showing.
I went deep in a $3 MTT (2800ppl) to hit 8th for $140. All through making calls with K4o/K8s etc. Ppl were shoving with crap like 67s/J9/Q2 lol. I even beat QQ once with K5s lol.
