    Loved it til this season. I like the businessman playing. The pros they have are kinda of stiff. Brunson...legend but zzzzzz. Barry will at least shove when he is 50 50. Selbst likes to spew. The magician is now a nit.

    The new host is like a Henny Youngman...one line jokes all the time. Change needs to occur every season but this is horrid.

    I thought doyle was out of order declaring his hand wrong when he had the flush when he knew he had a flush.

    your man is a pain in the rear end but ruffin is so funny with his bets

    I got a feeling Ruffin going to start losing. He will start getting those big bets called with weak hands and should any one actually make a big hand they will call, call, call and let him bet off all those chips.

    this new season is horrible. Retarded poker is being played, most businessmen bets are predictable and ya, watch it if u like seeing other people winning large pots, if not, just watch SBR tourny.

    I have seen it in past and I would believe they would get ridiculed if they did not. On the latest episode I did notice another player tip. It was either Peat or Robl, can't remember which.

    this show isn't interesting anymore since Full Tilt won't allow their players to take part

    Dwan, Ivey, Antonius...even Mike the Mouth is entertaining

    I wouldn't say the poker is not interesting (but how bad Ruffin played and still walked away with over $400k profit makes we want to puke) but there is no question that not have Dwan, Ivey and Antonius coupled with Norm Macdonald, really makes this a bad show.

    To me, it seems like they are intentionally making the best poker show for poker players, really bad.....

    Is there a more annoying person then Andrew Robl. The guy just really irritates me. He is one of those dudes that thinks they are super cool but is just really an incredible dork and only has friends based on wealth job etc..

    I missed it. However, as your post goes, I think I must watch that forgotten show of mine.

    Even though he was a poker noob, I thought AJ Benza got along OK with Gabe and it just worked in its own way.

    I used to watch it all the time, haven't seen it in awhile though and sounds like I don't need to. Why did they bring in new hosts?

    AJ commenting alone is even better than Norm. The show sucks and in my opinion it is gonna get destroyed soon due to low ratings. Businessmen are unintertaining and boring. My guess is pokerstars paid Peats to make some big moves generating big pots to make the game more "watchable". Fulltilt prolly already predicted the downfall of HSP with Gabe gone and most of the more interesting players. Fulltilt's winning the war

    Businessmen are fine as long as there's someone like Dwan/Ivey/Antonious/Elezra/Negreanu who want to gamble it up. Viffer is very good for the show, so is Hellmuth/Matusow. And even though, they play tight, Antonio/Laak are great as well.

    Can't think of any others I'd want to watch.

    I agree with everything except, Pokerstars "Big Game" was one of the best shows in a very long time and took over from HSP.

    Cheers.
