High Stakes Poker Returns

For poker junkies who are tired of the typical all in crap of televised tournament poker, I strongly suggest High Stakes Poker on Game Show Network which starts it's third season tonight.
It's really interesting to see these pros play with only other pros and they gamble much differently when they are playing for real money and not tournament chips.
The worst part of last season was the constant focus on prop bets, which we weren't privy to, so it was hard to follow the action. Apparently those will be eliminated this year.
Which means the worst part of this year is going to be the presence of luckbox and WSOP main event champion Jamie Gold. Main event runner-up Paul Wasicka is also going to appear.
I love the Sopranos motiff in the ads.





Speaking of poker, one of our favorite Poopheads, Amber Freed's Husband wrote in to report that he finished 122nd out of 3701 in a poker stars tournament, but because of rebuys the prize pool was more than $45,000. It took almost 6 hours, for him so the winner must have played for 8-10 hours at least.
