High Stakes Poker Season 4 Episode 1

[SaderMatt]

"ANTES, PLEASE! ANTES, PLEASE!"

[619kammy]

People are going broke over the 72 game...

[wildy774]

"your an idiot, your going broke, just shut up man!'' Mike Matusow

''I LOVE MY LIFE, THANK YOU GOD!'' Phil Laak

rofl Laak is like the happiest person ever

[wildy774]

rofl i was so happy when hellmuth owned matusow

[mucknfold]

Mike Matusow has been been doing time in jail. If i ever got in an argument with him at the table. I would ask him if he got the nickname there.

[huyiy]

Phil Laak is CLASSIC!

[andos8888]

Matusow gets owned for his soul and then talks about how much of an idiot Hellmuth is LOL wtf

[andos8888]

ITS A NEW GAME TODAY BOYS

[slbobonis]

Why play poker at casinos when you can play online? Not to mention Full Tilt Poker gives you 600$ when signing up with the Referral Code: FTUS600

[olnag2]

Get 600$ when you use Full Tilt Referral Code: FTUS600

[lee42nelson]

I'm shocked more people don't know about the referral code: FTUS600 that gets your 600$ for signing up with Full Tilt Poker

[mkdexter2010]

WOW Full Tilt Poker gave me 600$ when I used the referral code: FTUS600

[jamesstaniforth]

seven deuce is so retarded

[cakecakecake1]

seriously hilarious

[Oreillyisthebest]

gosh these comments are retarded..

[asdffdsafdsa123]

"HOW MUCH DOES THAT WATCH COST?" usually speeches arent very effective on high stakes poker, even when pros use them, but im pretty sure it had an affect on solario, great speech by the amateur.

[artysm7]

brandon played kings terrible he should've flat called there then checked the river there's a high percentage chance he'll push all in to win it with the 7 2

[VinzorBE]

@artysm7 u cant really put someone on 7 2 when they 4 bet to 37k preflop u moron... i mean if he had aces or queens there, brandon wudv made the right play and probably wudv gotten paid off

[artysm7]

@VinzorBE bullshit dickhead they're playing 7 2 he scared him off it cos he's shit.

[VicenzoV]

@artysm7 If Brandon just called the 50k on the turn Solorio would've realized his opponent has at least a King or maybe even pocket 10's. Solorio has to shut down for sure because once Brandon has 110k invested he only has 80k left, which means he's pot-committed and there's no way Solorio can try to bluff on the river.

In Brandon's defense, it looks like Solorio has AA's so in that case the mini-raise is decent play.

[Kalgon1]

please call please call please call please call... please have aces...

[ComicallySanePolitic]

Who else picked this one because the video picture has Hellmuth all worked up from someone else's terrible play?

[macarthur19]

Mike "The Coke head" Matusow

[bootlegsessions]

By the way....how much of an asshole is Brian Brandon! "I'm a tiger".

[bootlegsessions]

I love how Esfandaria keeps taunting that nit Mike, As if Antonio is much better!

[gorgeousgeorge23]

@bootlegsessions lol, i know right. Esfandiari blows and is a nit much more than the Mouth.

[VinzorBE]

@gorgeousgeorge23 lol, u guys are stupid, u do realise a 'nit' is someone who plays really tight and only waits for premium hands, dint see antonio do that alot here.... so please, if u dont know what ur talking about, just stfu

[gorgeousgeorge23]

@VinzorBE I know what a nit is dude, and after thinking about it, youre right as far as Antonio not being one in this episode.. I was actually referring more towards the later seasons of HSP.. for instance, in the last season, all he really played was premium hands..

[AA72AA72]

Phil Hellmuth: "I crushed everyone in the world for 20 years in side games and cash games."

That's the same thing Phil, unless side games means you jacking it to yourself.

[Kingxervis]

@AA72AA72 You're an idiot, side games are prop bets and or other games outside of the main poker. Not that you would know.

[HGLinkous80]

Phil Hellmuth, although a evry accomplished tournament player, is a nit, and has the attitude of a child. He can go suck on a dead dog's nose or piss up a rope. His choice.

[PokerInTheBrain]

I can see where hellmuth is comin from. This amature comes outta nowhere, sits down at the table and starts tryin to needle hellmuth. Winding him up for no reason... personally i think brandon is a fuckin prick

[dabracan]

matusow the biggest fish in the hsp

[dabracan]

@PokahProphet LOL nl2fish

[MrZedeakhond]

people die for their nationality,culture ,lands ,esfandiary forgot that who he is ,these are people who backstab their own mother for few bucks.fuck him

[ddog892]

@MrZedeakhond death to iran

[DerniereFan]

@MrZedeakhond

what the fuck r u talkin bout it !?!?! why'd he do ?!

[DerniereFan]

@MrZedeakhond Now i got it , yeah he's stupid for sayin those ~ tried to be funny but ruined it all , though i don think he's a bad person , he might be dumb but not a as bad as u think he is .

Btw, dude those arent few bucks ! the kid is millionaire ! dont u ever call 500 grand few bucks .

[Hoontae]

anyone notice the nice boobs next to Laak's head?

[07Bolla]

@Hoontae AHAHAHAHAHHAA 

[NiTMHs1215]

fuck brian brandon

[xFpsPwnagex]

''The Phil Hellmuth Show'' is the worst show ever...

[Vengeance31]

Despite Phil being a bit much to take at times, at least he makes the show interesting to watch. I've watched the seasons prior and man what a yawn fest.

[rafaelito1981]

And I've got position on the fish!!! HAHAHAHA hilarious remark

[jonoisgood]

"antonio from florida hurt antonio for $20k with like 9th pair and 27 overcards..."

[xbackagainx]

Ziigmund won most of his money last week from Tom "durrrr" Dwan in $500/$1000 PLO (report 1, report 2). They are legends but they both started their carriers with Pokerfrik 50 $ free starting capital :)

[heatherhunty]

We’ll never know, but on this hand it might have been more effective. Anyway the best ay to start poker is to take free 50 $ from Pokerfrik website and then learn with those 50 bucks without risk.

[doriangraay]

H__r about reference codes?_I haven__ unt___few days ba_k I made big buck from it with n_ sweat_atall._Just en_er__ the code F I L M in Full t i_l t Po_er and got $60_ m_ney!_Po_er was _ chal_enge for me _u_ now I play good cau_e was ea_y to_lea_n.

[doriangraay]

Ever hear about bonuscodes? Not me until lately I made big dough from it with no sweat atall. Just typed the code FILM in fulltiltpoker and got $600 money! Poker was hard for me but now I got the hang of it cuz was easy to learn.

[HalldorBragi]

lol he sucks folded K,K

[Songy23]

AHH i love it!! 7:38!!

[ShoGunz1083]

hahaha hellmouth bluffing matusow with 7/2 when mike had kings :D

[bigbob0]

mike is laughing at his own jokes all the time

[CFCwillyb]

mikey that fold hurts

[gorohgor]

He probably wish he stuck to that game for the whole day, because when he tried his hand in the seven game, things didn’t go as smoothly. PokerFrik site offers 50 $ free deposit, i should try that!

[TheMultiwilliam]

what episode was when elezra got 4 aces

[KeefeBrand]

I don’t know how jungleman12 would have reacted to that, but it might have been difficult for him to continue with the hand if he thought he was drawing to only a flush draw. Lool it's funny that jungleman started poker with free 50 dollars from Pokerfrik site.

[dayjun]

@KeefeBrand thinly veiled(not) spam

[Thor1992GR]

esfandiari fucking suckup! go lick hellmuth's and matusaw's balls if you so much admire them!

[CFCwillyb]

@Thor1992GR its called sarcasm

[Thor1992GR]

can someone explain me why 7 2 is considered the worst hand in texas holdem ? i mean, what difference does it make if you have 7 2 or 8 2 ?

[DarKmaster9999]

@Thor1992GR 72 is the first hand u cant make the straight with, and 8 is a higher card than 7. So 32, 42 52 62 > 72 because of straight value, and 82 92 etc > 72 because of high card value.

[wexonetr]

@Thor1992GR : 8 2 is better than 7 2 cause 8 is a higher card than 7. But 7 2 is worse than 6 2, 5 2 cause u can make a straight with using two of ur cards with 6 2 and 5 2..

[bendustries]

@Thor1992GR 82 can beat 72 in a showdown at the river if there are low cards on the board. 32 is actually the worst hand because it loses to 72 at showdown.

[CFCwillyb]

@bendustries but seven two is the worst starting hand in terms of winning percentage, 2/3, 3/4, 45... those hands are easier to make straights with

[Gytax0]

@CFCwillyb 27o : 26o = 57% : 25% and 17% tie. Explain why 27 is still worse than 26. Mathematics says all.

[checkoutmymelody180]

@Gytax0 your an idiot 7 2 is dominating regardless of straight draws. the weakest hand in poker is 23o full stop.

[Gytax0]

@checkoutmymelody180 You dumbass. I said that 2 7 is dominating hand towards 2 6. Learn to read and understand.

[ImperviousMason]

@Gytax0 obvious troll is obvious

[CFCwillyb]

@Thor1992GR if 72 is heads up against 62, then 72 is better because it had the 62 dominated. but put six two up against other hands heads up and it has a 4percent better chance of wiing - just as likely to hit a pair, unlikley to win any pot with a seven or a six high, and six two will make a straight more often as the six and the two can be part of the same straight

[KeefeBrand]

All his bets are understandable and cannot easily be criticized. Anyway he built his roll out of the free 50 $ deposit he got from PokerFrik website lol.

[CyberInferno]

Why did Brandon raise on the turn of that big hand? He's got the stone cold nuts with his opponent drawing dead on the turn. No straight-flush possibilities. What an idiot. If he had smooth called, he was probably getting the rest of Salorio's stack on the river.

[iveywebb44]

@CyberInferno  agreed that was just poor play.

[CyberInferno]

Phil Laak's little speech 9:27 made my day.

[thegoonist]

mike got pwned

[KeefeBrand]

The five of diamonds on the turn not only completes his opponents straight, but is also the perfect card for Antonius to use in a bluff. To start poker easy without risk get your free 50 $ without deposit from PokerFrik website!

[KARLOmaster1]

fuck the haters

[lohor01]

Has anybody tried getting free 50 $ from PokerFrik website?

[lohor01]

There is a simple way to get free 50 $ without any deposit, check out Pokerfrik website. mdowk'kpdidrqwjwsdsqwoeoimjkfw­zoiuceatskeecafkinavuqgwdmmqj

[cleverhobbit]

See the lady behind Laak. She's a fine milf!

[whisky432]

shooting guns and riding camels?????????? thats in your blood anyway, like it or not

[wrybread]

@whisky432: so does that mean that being a racist, close-minded prick is in your blood?

[ojideagu]

@whisky432 I'd wager more American's shoot guns then Iranians. It's more in American blood and culture. Iranians are not Arabs.

[lautaro15lau]

laak plays like a begginer.

[sneak108]

@lautaro15lau its 2010 im still trying to find somehwere in history of tv of laak winning somehitng

[lautaro15lau]

@sneak108 hahah, I never ever saw him bluff :S

[aekaraenwsis21]

Τhis show (this Episode at least) is so set up.

They all pretend probably..How can everyone got a 72 in the first hands?how can hellmuth make such bets and matusow fold KK when we know these players?I can't just believe its real .that's all

[QuickProfits]

@aekaraenwsis21 Lol they don't show all of it, just the best parts of the game.

[aekaraenwsis21]

@QuickProfits lol i know but isn't this weird?My opinion is that the show pays them just to play and pretend most of the times.They could all be great actors too as i see them ;)

Because they are smart and do the job well...;)

[evilLeif87]

Laak is so smart. I would guess he got around 165 IQ. Also he is entertaining :D

[KolYma89]

laak fucking rules

[finnfisu]

I hate Laak

[mnkymn15]

Hahaha Matusow is so coked out in these episodes

[code507]

ok I am no poker pro, but if you take what ever mike put into seeing all 5 cards <<<<

what was 40k more to see if the kings were cool <<< yes ace ace, 72- qqq, 2 pair

any kind beats but omg it's only 40k more LOL at the set up~

[rjohson]

@code507 ur exactly right the river was the wrong timer for mike to fold and plus he was geting better than 2 to 1 on his money. mike folded incorrectly

[code507]

ok I am no poker pro, but if you take what ever mike put into seeing all 5 cards <<<<

what was 40k more to see if the kings were cool <<< yes ace ace, 72- qqq, 2 pair

any kind beats but omg it's only 40k more LOL at the set up~

[jibbers0]

bahaha if he folded his A5 to 72 again....lmao

[TheUltraMassive]

lool how matusow laugh xDD

AJ: about his ownjokes cause nobody else does *greaat :PPPPP

[001MeTaBoLiC100]

If I had pocket Kings in Mikes position I would think about the 40k bet for a couple of seconds and not put him on trips based on his previous bets leading up to the 40k bet. I dont understand sometimes how some of these players have millions of dollars. Mike was a good player but now he has no heart.

[TokinBluntz]

folds kings to deuce seven

lack and esfandiari are horrible nits. greedy little gimps. never play a hand and never shutup

[Zappafan5150]

lol matusow

Many players think where they are in a hand, if they're ahead or behind

Fishes look for miracle ways they're ahead and why they SHOULD call

And Mikey is some other kind of guy who always looks for some way he's behind

[ArdsleyLax911]

you all are idiots,

matusow could really only beat a semi-bluff

[stratocaster9631]

what a dumbass!!!

[m4rr3co2]

why they called mautsow to the table?

[tibola78]

Matusow sucks!!

Fold with Kings, Jesus...

Like Daniel says:"give me that hand I'll play for you! All in!!"

[BuBu112286]

i think this is e noisest cast laak is getting on my nerves, LOL but i still like him

[t3n9]

what happened to the winning odds? its gone this seasoN!

[velation]

Matusow needs to die in a fire

[Odnerom]

"Trying to win $3500, cost him a $117.000". Classic!

[BuBu112286]

@Odnerom omg you make me laugh so hard! Gabe too he was like "pls call pls call"

[Disney312]

@Odnerom

For Salorio, that hand was about the bragging rights, not the money. But after getting his bets called so many times and getting raised on the turn for 50k more, he finally figured out that the other guy had a hand. If I was Brandon, would not have shoved until the river though, because he was in position. He could have let him bluff again and given him one more shot at hanging himself.

[krazyazn208]

antonio talks too much >_>

[blod1981]

soft table.

[toxx2010]

its funny how these guyz gamble with 500$ while players like dwan, ivey or Antonius gamble with 100000$

[Gytax0]

WTF at 35:16 when Kaplen starts laughing "Let's get back to that hand *silent laugh*".

[GlennsMisfits]

this matusow is really bad player.steaming.

[tommyXBOX360]

wheres esfandiari from?

[dannyburge]

@tommyXBOX360 Iran i think

[indianguy998877]

@tommyXBOX360  he from Iran but I think he grew up in the Bay Area

[christos1071]

this tableis more like family comedies than a poker show.. :)

[DeepAbsentia]

@christos1071 That seems to be exactly the point, even tough i like to watch the poker stuff, wich is minimal.

[ErsinYildiz]

mike mike mike ....

[rebar33]

Helmuth is actually one of the worse players that is on television regularly.

He makes many mistakes. 1. He tells the oponents what he's really trying to do. 2. He slow plays strong hands that should not be slow played. Then when he gets outdrawn gets upset. 3. His pre-flop play is based on trapping. He'll smooth call with 10 10 against QJ and get upset if a Jack flops. His only world class strenth is that he can lay down strong hands and be corrrect.

[vidurk]

great bluff from phil ... but if anyone had only one buy in they would not want to go out on the first hand! if mike had a 100k more im sure he would have called.

[roadhockey]

Mike is annoying but I do like him at 8:28 when he refuses to give him the $500.

[DJ5432100]

if i was phil hellmuth id have punched mike matusow after the first couple of hands!

[dimit0]

Esfandiari :I love america, if my dad didnt move, i would have been shooting guns and riding Camels LOOOOOOL

[martysparty2042]

Quads vs 7 high. Classic matchup

[MrPew17]

how much does that watch cost? lmao

[twilswins]

So I guess he put him on QQ?

[managra12]

wheres high stakes poker season 6 episode 12 or season 7 whatever s next
