Getting ready for high stakes poker

I don’t get the game show network, so i’ve never seen this show before. I also can’t download it on my computer because the latest bittorent always rolls my internet connection.

I’m downloading it on another computer right now and i’m really excited to watch it. I’ve heard great things about this show. All I know about it is that it’s supposed to be a regular high stakes NL cash game with whole card shown and everything.

I’m really excited to see this because tournaments are getting lame and repetitive. It’s always, “He’s on the button with BigSlick and makes it 4 times the big blind. I like this bet Vince. He’s betting enough to push out lower hands that could draw out on him.. Oh and the big blind wakes up with pocket queens! Two ladies, the heart breakers! And he pushes all in! and AKs calls! This is a $200,000 coin flip situation, Vince. Neither player could avoid this.”

I’m hoping that high stakes poker will show a lot of play, instead of just the big drama hands. I also wonder if they’re playing poker with their own money in this show? I bet they must be getting some sort of payment for appearing on TV and playing regular cash game poker…

The high stakes poker torrent is going at about 300kb/s. I’m going to go watch it in a few minutes and I’ll follow up with a short review tomorrow.
