blonde poker forum

Read daniel negeaneu's blog a while back and read about him playing televised High stakes NL cash at the golden nugget and it sounded like great viewing..

Players such as Doyle, Harmon, Forrest, Farha, Greenstien, Negreanu and Elezra all playing $300/$600 No Limit.

So i found season 1 Torrents on mininova and watched the 1st 4 episodes and currently downloading the rest.

for anybody who loves cash games then this is FANTASTIC viewing, Negreanu sat down with $1,000,000

I've seen about the first 9 or so. Really good stuff. Highly recommended.

Is Hellmuth in these. I've seen some clips of him getting schooled by Negraneu and stacked by Greenstein, classic Phil blow ups after :D

Ive seen them all, well worth downloading.

Just watched episode 5 and Hellmuth is in episode 6.

Shaun "shieky", and sami farha are at each other all the time, you can tell they dont like each other.

lol yeah this is class, going to watch episode 12 and 13 now!

I was talking to Todd Brunson online the other day.....as you do.....he says they are making some more at the moment!

He told me they get paid $1250/hr, is that enough for these guys to show thier cards!!?

Id say deffo not,  Farha has reffered to the cameras a couple times before folding his hands.

Im only on ep6.  I cant stand that Doctor nassier.

Class stuff. Helmuth is fricking entertaining (why'd he bring his cash in an asda plastic bag???).

I crack up every time Danny boy chucks the bricks in. He usually does a little dwell up weighing them in his hands as if he's pondering the decision.

BUT WE ALL KNOW THEY'RE COMING!

Only way it could get better would be if Matusow gets in there to stir it up.

anyone got a link to this?

And do I need to downlaod any software to view it?

Cheers

Ok I have downloaded a GSN High Stakes Poker torrent using Bitlord ( episode 13 ).   I also downloaded DivXPlayer.   Can someone please tell me, how the hell I play the thing?   The laptop is gonna learn to fly soon...lol.

I click on it but nothing happens....

Sark have you downloaded the VLC media player? plays everything.

Once the file has been downloaded it should be stored in a folder on your hard drive named Downloads (im talking about bitcomet but should be the same)

I go into program files and open my bitcomet folder then open my Downloads folder then find the file then open with VLC player.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Jim.  I will give that a try.   I will download the VLC thingy and go from there.  I have opened the bitlord program files and under downloads there is the poker file. So I do have it ok.  It just isn't playing.  I will give the VLC a try.

Cheers   

Ok i have the VLC.  When I try to open with it.  There is a scroll bar on the VLC player that just moves along?  wtf..

Is this normal?

lol...  I hate computers. Unless you know abit about then , you are screwed..


thanks..

Yep, this must be the best poker programme since LNP

Has links to the torrents GlasgowBandit

Just downloaded and watched the first episode.  Great recommendation, best poker show I've seen in quite a while.

Hoping the doctor drops his $200k in the next few episodes.  And I'd love to see Negreanu and Doyle clash with almost $2m between them on the table...

www.tillerman.net has all the episodes

I cant seem to find episode 9.

Anybody got it or a link could ya PM me please?

Jim.

Since i started watching this i have loved it, it is the best poker on TV EVER!

I managed it . Atlast a torrent worked for me.  I have GSN High stakes poker ( episode 1 ).  When I get home tonight I am going to relax and watch this.   I am really pleased that I finally got this to work.  Lost series 2 was a tempter, WPT was even more of a tempter. But poker cash games were a must.  I just clicked and re-clicked and it eventually started to play. 

I am going to get episode 13 next.  I think that is the one with Phil Hellmuth? 

Just seen episode 10.

1st one with Hellmuth in, it is a MUST watch, I love anything with this fella in it, he just loves himself and what a big girl.

Sark, you really need to watch the episodes in order as there are little stories unfolding which you will miss out on if you skip a few.

P.S Glad it finally worked for ya.

Hmmm the torrents I've got aren't downloading, anyone got any better ones?

Homer check ya E-Mail.

ok  I will watch in order. ty

thanks for everyones help

Episode 1 is fantastic.  Daniel Negraenu raising Barry Greenstein.  Cash Games are so good.  I am downloading episode 2 at the moment.

I left the episode 1 running for about 3 or 4 hours.  Is this long enough for others to use it?.  If I leave it running while downloading episode 2 my computer runs so slow. So I stopped it.  Is this normal or a rude thing in torrent land?

I thought a seed was a thing you put in soil.  I thought a leach was a bloodsucker.  I have heard of life peers and the peers in the House of Lords.  Torrents are givng me a whole new language.

BUMP.

Currently showing on 121 on sky.

Double Bump...

Easily the best poker show I've seen in ages, probably the best new poker show since WPT started.

FINALLY we get to see more about what these great players do, day in, day out. (Although of course, saying that, it's still edited and of course they may be playing a leedle beet different knowing the camera is on them...  :D)

Tonight's episode on Challenge was the last for that "day"; and of course featured that final sick hand between Farha and Greenstein.

Now, this is probably going to sound self-indulgent given that I don't play for more than $50 or so at a time, but every now and again playing online I get that "last orbit" hand, where the system decides to make me an offer I can't refuse, right when I'm nicely "up" and have decided to quit for the day - by giving me a huge hand and then giving the only other player at the table with a similar amount of money in front of them the hand that beats mine, or the flop that beats mine, or whatever.

These things happen - but sometimes it's tough not to feel victimised; it's so easy to give in to the temptation to be suspicious of online poker.

Well - once again, anything that can happen for small stakes online, happens in Vegas too. Plus, Farha and Greenstein were (at that point) two of the big winners for that day, I think they both had doubled through Negreanu at one point... so I guess it just shows you.

What I really enjoy about this is when they offer guys get out like playing the turn and the river twice!

Side things this like make the game so more exciting, also seeing some of the junk they limp in with and then make fairly decent hands.

There seems to be a bit of tension between Farha and Sheiky.

Unsurprising, given the kinds of things that 'Sheiky' likes to say at the poker table.

He clashed with Matusow at the WSOP, now he's clashing with the locals here as well.

I loved that quote from Todd Brunson when he was asked by the interviewer to give an opinion on Sheiky, he just said straight-faced, right to the camera: "He's an idiot, and he's going to lose all his money."

Gabe, doing the commentary, then said 'Don't hold back, Todd - tell us what you really think..."   rotflmfao

What does he like tos ay at the table?  I don;t really know much about him TBH.

essential viewing,
but sheesh, those commentators...it's well creepy that they won't eyeball each other & feel to need to stare at us while prattling on...only in america
& who the hell is that beefcake anyway?

It's great TV.  KK vrs AA on the last hand, last night, was very intense.

I think Sammy Farha is my new hero.

I loved that - 'Do you want to run it twice?'

Why would u want to run it twice u less you were behind?

When is this on TV please ?

As I understand it, the "running it twice" option usually refers to close situations, e.g. the top pair top kicker vs. bottom two pair (which happened a couple of times on day one).

The really interesting thing about last night was: Sammy offered to run it twice, TWICE: once before the flop (Barry declined), and then once after the flop (Barry still declined).

Class acts, the both of them.

Karabiner: it's on Challenge TV (Sky 121) at 10.30pm, although I usually catch it an hour later on Challenge +1.
