Hsp $500k

Catching up on some of the older episodes from season 4... here's a good line from Ep. 11:

Doyle: Did you take your diabetes medicine?
Barry: Is that one of your pick-up lines?

LOL

So what were everyones thoughts on last nights episode?

I only watched parts of it and need to watch the others in case I missed anything good.

Guy must be staking Benyamine. Also for a guy that shoves 600k in the middle on a flush draw, David looked awful nervous.

[Kurn]

This hand is as far as I watched (during halftime of MNF). I think Benyamine knows exactly how light Guy will shove there, so his reaction to Guy flipping over his cards come from realizing that his A outs are not good.

Believing you have 45% equity if called and realizing you only have 32% for that size pot will turn anybody's stomach.

Guy is way too nice. Way too nice. If he had agreed to run it 3 or 4 or 5 times, that would have been nice, but just letting David off the hook like that (for what? $48k?) with 1.2 million in the middle is crazy...

I know he's super rich and all, but if this money is too big for these guys to lose, they shouldn't be in the game in the first place.

[Kurn]

I think it's clear the money is too big, as Doyle said, especially with the overall skill level of the players. It's one thing if it's 3 big pro's and 5 or 6 whales, but that's not what this is.

I think people forget that the big game is primarily limit, and when they do rotate in a PL or NL game, the pots are capped at something like $250K.

Doyle said that the only guy who is adequately rolled for the game is Guy.

[Kurn]

The rest of the show was sort of boring. best part of the broadcast was Katja's 'Stars commercial.

I thought the Doyle's Room commercial with Pamela Anderson was amusing.

What a letdown that 1.2m pot hand was. Next time play it out guys.
