Pokerstars Big game
  • They've started airing the new season for the big game. I remember a post on 604 where i believe it was dthorne04's GF was going to be on the new season. I believe she's the second cannon. You can watch the first two cannons right now, second one up to ep4. The first one actually played really well, worth watching if you enjoy poker on TV.

  • Had a chance to watch the second cannon, played the tightest I think I've seen yet going back to season 1. The first cannon is worth watching though.
  • yeah we watched most of courtneys episodes here today,  in the hotel,   i wont post any spoilers tho, negreanu is a bit too much when he's winning,  but its still better than complete silence i guess, also the commentators were hilarious, in that their jokes and wisecracks were so bad that it was actually entertaining, jonas steph and i all crackedup a buncha times at the stuff they were saying,  worth a watch for sure.
  • first cannon worth watching

    second cannon not so much
  • Watched first 2 episodes with the second cannon so far.  She doesn't seem to be adjusting to the structure (6-max, freeroll), or the table condition.  She kept open raise then fold to Lew's 3-bet, when Negreanu kept talking about how high Lew's 3-bet % is.  Even the hostess made the comment at the end of episode 2, asking if she is going to open up her game.  Was Laak trying to be nice, or did he really think the cannon was playing the right way?
  • no matter how bad the canon is they never actually say they are bad. 

    If you like the commentary check out huff and stapes podcast. same guys LDO. very entertaining listen.
  • and the right way to play is to show a bluff at the start and pray to get hands after. never run it more than once. play drawy hands and try and get it in and gamble.  Keep your stack over 75k at all times if at all possible.
  • I just realized that the Solomon guy in week 2 is the guy who helped maked Paris Hilton known. Had anybody heard about her before her sex tape? I mean we all know about Hilton hotels and her family but she wasn't relevant until that, he was the guy on the tape.
  • confirmed this did not go optimally
  • This damn negreanu always takes the seat next to the loose cannon. I wish I could be a big cannon and I wouldn't let him bully me off a hand.
  • I just finished watching and I didn't think she played bad at all. She laid down the worst hand most of the time and didn't get really lucky or paid off when she had the best hand. It's tough to get paid off when you play so tight but it's hard to play loose when everybody else at the table is sold and pretty loose aggressive.
  • that soloman guy runs better than anyone ive ever known of even heard of.  Bangs paris hilton and tapes it now he plays high stakes for fun.
  • There's an amazing story about one of the upcoming loose cannons.

    Cliffs:
    - Guy is homeless for a lot of reasons including being an alcoholic and documents his life via images, video (youtube)
    - Receives encouragement, support, staking (w/o asking) from a typically harsh and unforgiving forum
    - Receives a free flight out to Miami to get coached by top SnG players including spacegravy
    - 2+2 BBV forum successfully attracts the attention of PokerStars to be on the big game

    The cliffs don't do the story justice, I greatly encourage people to at least bookmark it for when they feel sorry for themselves.
  • ive read the twoplustwo forum from start to finish and i remember when people were getting him to do things for money what happened to him was an amazing turnaround hopefully he can play a lil better
  • just read the whole thing...
