High Stakes Poker on the Game Show Network is back. The first episode all portions below had some interesting No Limit Texas Hold 'Em action. There was about half live players and half online poker players. One familiar live poker player who likes to play online poker was in everybody's cross hairs, took the ribbing well, then picked up after losing one buy-in. Watch below find out who... All in all the online players, acquitted themselves well as many of them have already transitioned into simply being "poker players" by virtue of logging so many hours in live games too. More comments to follow the videos.
Now, having watched the videos you know who it was. Phil Hellmuth ran brutally bad all day almost as bad as when he decides to play poker online (or so he says). Running a king high flush into an ace high flush (but losing the minimum) was just one of the many hands he got coolered on. You could tell the frustration and the tilt started early as he naively folded to a bet and raise when he held AQ. Dario Mineiri raised with nothing, Tom Dwan reraised with little more (QJ) and Phil Hellmuth laid down AQ.
The flop brought three hearts and Dwan won the pot when he rivered a heart. His Jack of hearts played. Phil, of course, laid down the Queen of hearts. This pot seemed to simmer with him and it led to some bad decisions... it also showed the casual poker player that even some of the greatest live tournament poker players are susceptible to Tilt and other can make mistakes mere mortals make.
The new season of High Stakes Poker featured a booth with just Gabe Kaplan and no AJ Benza. This dynamic didn't really work. There was no straight man to Kaplan's jokes and half there humor when they fell flat was the reaction to them falling flat... now they are just flat. The new show featured sideline reporter Kara Scott who has a had a couple of deep World Series of Poker Main Event runs on her resume doing interviews with the players.
Her enthusiasm as a poker player was evident and its clear she'll ask the questions not as in the dark eye-candy but as someone with a knowledge base wide enough to engage the players. As American Reality shows have learned having a moderator or host with a British accent ups the "intellect" and sophistication even it's artificial.
Scott is not artificial and she just happens to be English so it was a good choice. As far as eye-candy goes there are certainly better hostesses out there for that (she's moving toward "poker room" hot and away from simply "hot" these days) so for once it appears the producers chose a beautiful woman based on her merits rather than her beauty.
In the action, Phil Ivey was the big winner. He had a chance to be an even bigger winner when he picked up Queens and Phil Hellmuth had AJ. Phil raised with AJ and Ivey moved all-in. Hellmuth stewed forever than mucked saying nice bluff. Ivey tossed his cards into the middle despite online poker phenom Tom Dwan trying to entice a show of the cards with a 2k chip.
Dwan said "I'll give you 2k if your hand was better than Jacks." Ivey smiled and refused. Afterward he said, "If you offered 5k I would have showed you my aces." Hellmuth seemed to smoulder in the background.
To twist the screw even more the best poker player in the world (Ivey) mucked his next hand as soon as he got it, saying "This is the same hand I had last time," implying he had bluffed Hellmuth with rags. The table got a big kicked out of it and steam almost came out of Hellmuth's ears.
Sure enough later he got adventurous with the type of hand he never plays and he flopped an straight draw and flush draw. He moved in on Phil Ivey on the turn. Ivey held a bigger flush draw and the King that had hit the turn paired his high card. He had to call.
With that the Poker Brat Phil Hellmuth picked up and then gave Scott a very even keeled interview. No telling when it was filmed, but if it was just after the session credit to Hellmuth. He ran really bad on the day and had the good sense to get out of there before too tilted and too coolered translated into too many lost buy-ins.

Poker News from Around the world
Lots of bits and pieces from the wide world of poker. Let's start with one of online poker's biggest stars and best players...
Anette Obrestad aka Anette15 aka The Huntress? Heard of her? You know who she is... The girl who played a poker tournament without looking at her hole cards and won. The girl that never deposited money online and built her bankroll to millions by starting off in freerolls and working her way up from micro stakes.
The online poker superstar that just turned 21 and will now be kicking butt in the World Series of Poker and decimating the ancient 22 and 23 year olds that used to dominate. Yeah, she's good. Well, she just won a Pot Limit Omaha tournament. Yeah, the girl is not only one of the world's best online No Limit Texas Hold 'Em players apparently she's well rounded and better than you at Pot Limit Omaha too.
Anette Obrestad is the queen of the new age of poker player, the online poker player that we profile here at Online Poker Player. She's good. She's also been on Poker After Dark recently holding her own. If that show was on say six years ago, not only would she have been 15 (Anette15) and presumably starting to learn poker but likely the next player would have been getting a lot more invites than he's currently gotten.
Speaking of online poker, if not for it, TJ Cloutier may not have found himself in a position where he needed to sell one of his World Series of Poker bracelets. Some would say the toll of a craps habit may have more to do with his financial distress than the new breed of players but poker hasn't gotten any easier and many of the old guard have quietly disappeared into the shadows. No longer are they crushing tournaments with strategies that are at best outdated and at worst predictable and obvious.
The poker boom was a boon to many, but after a few years of trying to wade through enormous fields, those players that couldn't adapt or find a sponsor, soon found their bankrolls drying up. TJ's a great guy and a terrific storyteller about poker but the fact he is putting his bracelet up for sale shows you how quickly poker can turn on even its best players.
Cloutier's bracelet is 14 karat gold. It's from his 2005 $5,000 No Limit Hold 'Em championship. Cloutier had to beat 466 players to win the totem, apparently bidders have to beat none, because nobody has placed a bid on Cloutier's memento yet.
Speaking of old school vs. new, Jeff Madsen the youngster who was recently crowned World Series of Poker player of the year is mixing it up with Doyle Brunson in regard to politics. Brunson is a guy who has no qualms adapting to new technologies and started the recent hubub by posting an Obama joke on twitter. Something along the lines of "The Dems keep telling us to give the President time. I'm all for it, how's 10 to 20."
Madsen took the bait and went after Doyle's politics a little bit. Whippersnappers never learn. Doyle informed the kid that he too used to be in favor of handouts but now he's all for people earning their own money. A few followers threw the racist card at Doyle and he protested. Good little controversy though.
Normally the online poker player would rather support the online poker player but in this fight it's hard to pick who is the live player and who is the online player. Both have bigger successes playing live but both are tied to online sites. Since Doyle has his own site we'll call him the online guy despite being the old-school of the two.

Poker Predictions and Resolutions for the New Year
Predictions:
World Series of Poker:
The Main Event will break a record for most Day 1D players. The World Series will not turn away any players this year but find themselves having to play 11 handed in some areas. Phil Hellmuth's entourage will be bigger.
No player will match Jeffrey Lisandro's three bracelet's in one series. In fact, only one player will win two. Phil Ivey will suffer a similar hangover as player of the year from two years ago Eric Lindgren did this year.
Doyle Brunson will not make a final table or a day two.
A woman will win a bracelet and make it to the Main Event final table.
An internet pro will go from waking up to play poker online, to waking up as the best online poker player in the world AND the best live player in the world by virtue of winning the main event. He will be young, cocky, and a tad geeky. Joe Cada won't have to worry about sharing the endorsement dollars. The young gun will be well more well known than Cada by the Pocket Fives crew but unknown to the rest of the world and Norman Chad.
Bax and Sheets will back another final table player.
Chris Moneymaker will make a final table and contend for a bracelet.
Johnny Chan will also go deep in a NL Hold 'Em Event but not win another bracelet.
Phil wins! Phil wins! Phil Hellmuth will win another bracelet and add to his impressive ITM finishes.
One of the many 1k stimulus tournaments (the first one in all likelihood) will set a record for participants if they decide not to cap the total.
A name pro will make the Main Event final table. The entire poker world will be behind him and he'll go out softly just like Phil Ivey this year.
POKER WORLD IN GENERAL
U.I.E.G.A. will be repealed, overturned, nullified, and rendered moot. Hey, no reason not be optimistic.
After the repeal a major European poker site will become a major player in the United States market. Players will time their sleeping patterns to play online poker in the softest games from around the world.
Middling players will continue to flock to Asia to play in softer games and cheaper living expenses.
Rounders2 will get off the ground. It will focus on online poker and Mike McD will have become a Phil Ivey type character that is well rounded in all games, live and online.
Two major poker magazines will merge.
A player will win two major Sunday tournaments at the same time on one Sunday. The Internet will crack in half.
Another major cheating scandal will be uncovered. Rather than online superusers it will be a team of live players who have started to play together after the economy hurt their bottom line. It will also involve floor and dealers as periphery assistants.
Major poker rooms in Las Vegas will close.
Somebody will consider a round the clock poker channel.
An upstart will win the NBC heads up championship. It won't be Tom Dwan but it will be a youngster like Jonathan Little.
More and more young players will give up the game.
Poker training sites will merge.
Greg Raymer will contemplate running for office. His Pokerstars job will keep him playing poker.
Daniel Negreanu and Eric Lindgren will win their team prop bet this year as both have successful World Series.
Phil Ivey will lose an unheard of amount of money playing craps. It will make the national news.
A current major sports star, a Michael Phelps sized star, maybe Phelps himself will go deep in a major tournament.

Manage your tournament poker structure with an App
Recently decided to invest in a mac. Was worried about where to play, and as you know, and as I've written about in the past there is one online poker site, bwin, that takes care of us. In fact, it's always taken care of us. Frankly we mac users are a little cooler than pc users, or at least that's what Mac's advertising is selling.
So when I want to play poker on a mac, I'm obviously heading over to bwin's poker platform. What do I do when I'm playing live. Well, usually I use my phone to set an alarm to configure blinds and antes for a small tournament when I play at my boys house. Now, there's an app for that.
Bwin is again, on the bleeding edge and technology savvy freaks will enjoy their iPhones even more. Got an iPhone? Well, now when somebody is complaining about a blinds and antes structure you'll be the man, large and in charge. Now the tournament director is in your pants. (Get your mind out of the gutter)
The app, like all apps for the iPhone, is available in the Apple’s iTunes App Store. iTunes, is like a superstore. This is a far better App than your Peppermint Patty wallpaper. Search for Tournament Clock. Is it hard to use you may ask? And that's fine, I'll answer that...
No, the interface is just the opposite, it's dang near intuitive (as though it can guess what you are thinking--course that would be weird because then it would be aware you are thinking--iPhone's aren't that sophisticated... yet). Let's just say it is simple and easy to use.
Features include a toggle that allows you to adjust your home tournament's blind structure and level time limits. Or just jump right in using the “Quick Mode.” This is a blessing for all of us, who have difficulty setting our phones remembering which level is next or figuring out what the average chip stack is.
There is a wide latitude of things you can do with this intuitive, excuse me simple and easy to use interface. You'll be humming along in no time, probably right after you load it and it can't be any simpler to use. Us mac users and iphone owners can attest to how easy apple makes their computing and bwin has matched that simple sophistication. The best feature is being able to expand on the tournament organization and manipulate the variable controls.
You can go as far as creating profiles of the players, yeah, your friends. Put their pictures up there and what seat they are in, and then boot them when the bust out. Obviously, bwin is capable of putting together a solid product, with over 20 million customers who bet on sports, play poker, blackjack, roulette, and play casino games they are an industry leader. They've already diversified by streaming audio and video of events you can bet on, now they are taking their online poker knowledge to your live tournament game.

High Stakes Poker New Season
There is no better poker show than High Stakes Poker. You can see many of last years episodes and my reviews deep in this blog. So, you know how excited I've been for details of the sixth season of High Stakes Poker to be released. Now they are here. There is you usual variety of online poker players and live poker players and some new dynamics at play.
The first is a bit of the female touch. The new co-host is Kara Scott, who takes over for AJ Benza. Benza tipped us off of his depature in his blog "Benza Neat" and specualtion varied about who the new female would be. Vanessa Ruosso, Annie Duke, Vanessa Selbst? No Kara Scott, the pretty lady who went deep in back to back Main Events and won Norman Chad's heart on ESPN. She'll act like a field reporter co-opting the Poker After Dark format. Odd because the Poker After Dark format should have copied the High Stakes Poker format.
One is the best show on TV. The other is video Ambien. Poker After Dark is the Ambien if you haven't picked up on the fact you out cold before the opening credits every night. Scott's duties report from the High Stakes Poker suite, interviewing poker players about poker strategy, big hands and the table dynamics. We do no think she'll be interviewing the cocktail waitresses or the dealers.
There will be a minimum cash buy-in of $200,000.
A partial list of the players who are expected to compete this season (subject to change) includes:
Patrik Antonius
David Benyamine
Doyle Brunson
Tom Dwan
Eli Elezra
Antonio Esfandiari
Sammy George
Barry Greenstein
Phil Hellmuth
Andreas Hoivold
Phil Ivey
Mike Matusow
Allan Meltzer
Daniel Negreanu
Dennis Phillips
Lex Veldhuis
Yevgeniy Timoshenko

News and Views
Pokerpages has gone bye-bye! Or at least it will shortly. The venerable poker tournament site is closing its doors at the end of October. Can't say I hadn't heard of such a rumor but now the cat is out of the bag so to speak.
Also, out of the bag is Cardplayer's first family the Shulmans can play some poker themselves. Editing all those strategy articles every month must have helped out as Barry and Jeff are on the precipe of accomplishing something no other poker family has done. That's win two main events.
Yes, Jeff Shulman is a November Niner and has a great chance to take down the WSOP Main Event title. His father, Barry, just won the World Series of Poker-Europe Main Event. He's a main event bracelet winner (even if you have put the European equivalent of an asterisk after it--which may be an asterisk, or it may be a short man from Gaul who beats up Romans). Doyle Brunson has done that but his son hasn't. Barry Greenstein hasn't done it and neither has his son Joe Seebok.
Also, of note was the fact that two November Niners, the french guy and the English guy, made the final table in London as well. That's crazy. The two old hobbyists already accomplished a final table this year as well. When you run good you run great.
There is some chatter that the operators of Pitbull poker tried to flee Costa Rica in the middle of the night.
Did we mention Seebok? He just signed with Ultimate Bet. At one point, there was a fear they'd be fleeing in the middle of the night too. Seebok seems to think they'll soon be on the up and up too. Hmmm. Didn't he and Greenstein say they thought Russ Hamilton was telling the truth when he spoke to them. Hmmm.
Alright, speaking of rigged, Rigged in Riga is going on still. That's a great promotion offering a chance to see Latvia.

Fun Video
Ran into this customizable video this past weekend. It's a fun way to poke fun at your friends. Especially if one of your friends is a combustible force of nature who has a tendency to get into trouble. You don't know any of those do you?
http://www.pnnbc.com/
Here's how it works poker fans. Upload a photo of your friend, submit it to the website and then send him a link asking him if he got into trouble recently. Then see if he falls for it.
Some more poker pranks:
At the World Series, borrow Doyle Brunson's scooter and do wheelies down the aisles.
If you can spare the coin, buy an iPod load it up with crap music and figure out a way to trade it with your favorite pro without him knowing. If you can follow him into the bathroom, ask him to hold your iPod while you pee and say you will return the favor. Perfect candidate for this Phil Hellmuth.
On day two of a tournament, after getting permission from the dealer to play a prank, get back early, switch your small chip bag with the player with most chips on the table and just wait for his reaction.
When not in a hand after you've already folded shove all-in. Do only at a table with a sense of humor, especially a dealer with one.
