Anyone else miss this 'home game' format feel instead of the 'clinical studio'?

[@shivasirons6159]

Thats one of the things that grabbed me when i first saw it televised, a very cool place to be.

[@costin0749]

I never thought about it as a home game, but a private room with closed doors reserved for select players. But yeah, the new format is so bland and unappealing.

They need to go back to this same exact setting like they did a decade ago. This new futuristic bland setting is not the same. Can you imagine Sam Farha with his unlit cigar in this new setting? 😂

[@RodJeez]

Yesssss. This or the really fancy poker rooms casinos had back in the day. I think it was the one ivey played in when he landed 1st or 2nd in the WSOP

Yep.

[@billysonlinesurveychannel8247]

He staked Mike the buy in and knew he only had the one bullet and figured unless mike had the nuts he would never call so early in the show

that matusow and hellmuth hand is so iconic. after the hand they show their personalities. mike as always claims that he knew what opponent had and hellmuth just casually brings up his honours

and he got fired fro this job. Shows what GSN knew about gaming

[@jamiecook4288]

[@Luke-jx3mj]

Yes he is but some of his calls on hands are woeful. Why did Matusow have to raise on the turn with KK against Hellmuth? Strange take.

[@abigailindigo3208]

He was the absolute greatest

[@DoctorChained]

19:14 Kaplan comments on how tight Mike has been playing. For those who don't know, WSOP main event winner Russ Hamilton was found to have cheated on Ultimate Bet, an online poker site by using software to see everyone's cards. He stole at least $20 million, a significant amount of that from Mike Matasow and Prahlad Friedman. After this, Mike became a complete nit because Russ would call his bluffs with ten high and win with freaking ten high. This is why he is so tight in this season. Basically traumatized the poor guy into becoming a nit

[@devonmiles758]

That´s true. Fortunately all the players who were cheated got their money back.

Daniels face was shaking that last hand I could feel his anger lol

[@shadowsmessage]

No reason to go all in with 1010 at that spot , he made a reasonable call but still could have avoided thinking Mike has JJ or better as he limp 4-b pre representing AA or KK

[@shadowsmessage]

@@user-yj4vr2ex4j He did that all 7 seasons & was the biggest losers on HSP, lost over 4.1 million. Other than the 66 full to Quad 55( Gus Hansen) hand , every other hand he lost was just laughable. He would play shit hands like 53hh , flop a straight & lose to top boat , flop straight with 109s, board pairs on turn , guy makes Quads & still calls his all in on river . Flops straight , Greenstein wife / girlfriend at that time makes higher straight on turn , calls her all in on river. He keeps complaining about flopping nuts 🥜 & losing. Flop doesn’t mean shit in poker , maybe against a pair like AA or KK , u flop straight , u might be a massive fav but against a lot of range , they still have outs. He would keep saying they have boats & still would end up calling. Only Gus Hansen hand isn’t avoidable , if he avoided all other hands , he would have been profitable. Other than that he would sit with a Million $$$ & would play literally every hand , calling it small ball poker , where u see as many flops as possible , keep the pot small & get F on river 😂😂😭😭

[@izang5800]

The worst hand mike has there is ak or aq of clubs. Often times he has qq, kK or AA. It was a crying call. Was he hoping he had ak no clubs?

[@billysonlinesurveychannel8247]

@@izang5800 It was a crying call either way but Mike does this a lot with AK offsuit when the board comes like this. So Im pretty sure thats what Daniel figured.

[@shadowsmessage]

@@izang5800 Gabe Kaplan mentioned, Mike is playing so tight, Negreanu should have thrown his hand away to a limp 4-b pre. People limp 4-b pre only with AA & KK. Negreanu played like a compulsive gambler in HSP, he called so many 4-b pre with worst possible starting hands & kept losing , hence he was chasing all the money lost & got into deep rabbit 🐇 hole 😭😭

The biggest lesson Mike Matusow ever taught me; don’t wear hair gel when you have a thinning hairline. Thanks Mikey!

His hair was better than than Bald Negreanu hair

[@4inchesofpleasure]

@@shadowsmessage DNegs’ hair was obviously awful back then. But still, how did Matusow never notice how bad hair gel made his hair look 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@shadowsmessage]

@@4inchesofpleasure I think the guy never cared about this appearance or hair , Gelling hair was pretty in fashion or a trend thing in early 2000s like 2000-2009

[@4inchesofpleasure]

@@shadowsmessage I get someone not caring about his overall appearance but why wear hair gel then? Why not simply go natural? Makes much more sense if you’re making the argument of someone not caring about his appearance.

[@shadowsmessage]

@@4inchesofpleasure Some people just wanna go with the trend & not care about if it suits their face or personality. People got more into fashion sense/ what suits their personality or body type way later like 2015, when Twitter & Instagram have become household thing & internet was literally like everywhere.

4-bet Kings full on the flop giving Negreanu a chance to fold “That’s how you play poker boys”

[@stevenwalker9013]

If he calls Daniel isn’t betting anymore! The right play is to raise. Once he calls with Daniel behind him and then if he flats the raise it’s obvious he has monster. If he raises it can still look bluffy

[@Johnny_Thunder]

@@stevenwalker9013 lol U fish. Mike played it terribly. What can daniel beat after the flop 3bet?

[@phillyfansufferer]

@@Johnny_Thunder if he puts Daniel on a 9 (after Daniel raises) then it's absolutely the correct play. Especially knowing that station Daniel is always going to pay off, as he should. If you're not putting your chips in with Daniel's hand in a CASH game, and accepting getting coolered even if you think you're beat, then you should just stick to tournaments and refrain from calling other people 'fish'. That's why Daniel jokingly says "I guess everybody else would have folded my hand" - knowing full well that nobody is. Especially in a cash game. Same reason why he bet out his flopped quads, betting out the stone cold flopped nuts super disguises your strength most of the time.

[@bulmer69JR]

For the people saying mike played the hand correct, you're terrible at poker.

[@nano_org]

"Mike's gonna probably continue his slowplay and just call here. And just like I said, he raises to $45,000." lmao what

I hope Mike is doing well these days, financially mainly, but all around also. During his peak (around the time, within a couple years give or take, of the filming of videos like this) Mike was robbed of about $2,000,000 by the thieves at Ultimate Bet that were supposed to be his friends. And I know at THAT time, that was almost all his dough.... Like Mike or hate him, I think his heart is usually in the right place, and I don't like to see people get ruined anyway.... Obviously he wasn't the only one who was robbed during that operation, but still, that doesn't make it any better!!
