| High Stakes Poker (TV Show) on Sportsnet
Hey all
I was flipping through the channels and noticed that High Stakes Poker was on. IN HD! It was the first episode of the current season. It was on at 1 pm Fri pst (4 pm Est). My shaw listing had it as some other poker show but the Sportsnet website had it listed as HSP.

Does poker really need to be watched in HD? Weird that HSP would be on a channel other than GSN though.

Thought it was entertaining, but Gabe needs someone to rein him in a little . . .

@Milo, yes, it's pretty disappointing that they took AJ off and left Gabe in the booth to make jokes alone. Now that it's sponsored by pokerstars they have pretty much turned it into the high stakes cash game version of PAD. They really need to get rid of Kara Scott, or at least put her in the booth with Gabe. We don't need interviews with the players after big pots, or that insanely stupid "Did you know" segment. Thankfully the action has been decent so far. But if they want to keep viewers they're really gonna need to rethink the setup for next season. I am looking forward to when Mike Matusow comes back on. Hopefully he creates a lot of action. And also when Dennis Phillips shows up. Should be interesting to see how he holds up against these players.

| Spoiler... around 13 min into the show.
Ivey pushes Phil Helmuth out of a pot preflop.
Durrr, "Here's $2K to show any pair higher than Jacks"

I've been watching it on pokertube. Sportsnet is like 3 episodes behind. It was nice to watch Hellmuth get felted so early. haha. Play so tight folding AQ. First couple of episodes have been pretty uneventful, the latest one I liked though.

I'd love to have seen him rebuy and loose 7 figures...
They should have *paid* for him to stay.
Helmuth straddeling... who's have thunk.

I really believe they made a horrible decision to get rid of Benza. Gabe needed him around to provide a target. The show almost seems boring with the new commentary style. The poker is still great, but now it's missing something. As Derrickone said, bring Kara Scott into the booth or something.
