High Stakes Poker Season 10 - Episode 1 | $200/$400 No Limit Hold'em

[@moehio]

Gabe…. don’t retire. We don’t care who you know or don’t know… players come and go but YOU are the reason we watch the show.

[@TjMoon91]

He doesn't care either. He clearly just wants to move on.

[@CN4891-c1z]

It's just the nostalgia from back when poker was great/exciting. I give Gabe credit though, throughout the years, I can't tell if he's as dumb as his commentary or if he's trying to "untap" the glass....

[@mani6721]

Its possible he recently discover he has cancer (maybe prostatic) so he prepare his death.. let him in peace

[@SkummieDog23]

Yeah I'm kind of surprised by that, Gage is the best poker commentator hands down.

[@patrickjane4027]

Gabe is the reason why I watch high stakes

[@colingenge9999]

Gabe Kaplan will always be my favorite poker announcer. Still meaningful dialogue with his intellect and wit.

[@S-tank_]

I know I'm late to the party but dang made me sad man I love hearing his corny jokes and the history on stuff idk what he's talking about it's like he don't value what he adds to the game. He will be missed

[@repent.sinner]

This sucks I hate seeing the older one's go, Doyle's gone Sexton's gone Gabe is not dead but still sucks.

[@siohmy]

Gabe mixes great humour with knowledge of the game and its players like no one else. He is Mr High Stakes Poker and the show will be less without him. Thanks for all the great memories. Need to go back and watch all the old ones again for something like the 5th time. Never gets boring.

[@bspring6416]

No…. He doesn’t! I’m guessing your humour is as lame as his! 🤦‍♂️

[@lasseindergaard6487]

Gabe Kaplan what a legend!

[@yeyo489]

Gabe and AJ are a great combo. All the best to both of them.

[@4Sight1010]

Facts!

[@sadgfasdg542]

A friend of mine went to the wsop . he didnt make the moneys but he did achieve to take a picture with gabe :)

[@marcinstawiszynski3472]

Gabe just cannot retire - he is Mr. High Stakes Poker Voice :) I love that show.

[@Jeremy_the_bot]

He was. And now the show is over. Gabe was the show.

[@MikeNoyb]

I would retire too if I had to sit next to AJ Benza.

[@ighdesigns]

There is no one better than Gabe Kaplan.

[@josephback-upaccount6116]

I preferred Norm MacDonald, but Gabe was always solid

[@randyh.7817]

@@josephback-upaccount6116 He was the most dry and boring host ever, no wonder this comment is from a burner account.

[@mattydips2887]

Mike sexton was my goat

[@Enchilada_72]

Nobody better than Gabe. Sexton 2nd. With a completely different style, my other #1 is Norman Chad.

[@angpugnetti]

I actually teared up listening to Gabe say he was too old. He is pushing 80. People my age grew up with his voice as the voice of poker

[@stevenkrafsig6011]

Cheers Gabe! You were the best commentator and a class act!

[@dorukcoskun601]

I’m 25, recently started watching poker, not much of a player. Yet I’m still looking for your commentary Gabe. You will be remembered even with the generation difference. Best!

[@nyr413]

Gabe’s one of the greatest, legendary voice a lot of us grew up with

[@Adam-hi9dh]

Thanks for all the great commentary Gabe and for all the laughs

[@g1598]

Gabe & AJ is seriously the dream team. I sometimes think back to Gabe when he played HSP and got bundles of dollar bills what a legend

[@MrGiodis]

Yes

[@FranzVonGaart]

I'm pretty sure AJ is some guy they found on the street based on the commentary.

[@mikebaxter6467]

Gabe - you are what the show needs. I enjoy this as entertainment not GTO strategy and homework. You bring laughs and make it enjoyable!

[@RichardPatey]

Totally, HSP talking about GTO would be a tragedy

[@d0zeboy]

GTO is overrated we’re human beings, everyone trying to spend their time trying to figure out how a machine comes up with its plays and it’s gonna be a while

[@xXNewProdigyXx]

I don’t even tune into Poker that much, but when I do…I hear Gabe’s commentary and it makes what I’m watching 100x more entertaining.

[@RTBDegenerate]

All poker enthusiast know who you are Gabe. Young n old alike. Most people that aren't poker fans don't know Phil Ivey or DNegs either. Even they aren't house hold names. Hold your head high my brother. You are a legend in our community.

[@billysikes1374]

We all know who you are Gabe, dont ever feel that way

[@bejoyrn9a]

Gabe is probably why most people still watch, and it has never been because of his insight of the players..

[@MrKydaman]

Gabe is the reason that High Stakes Poker is the best poker show!

[@blueboys26]

The game would not be watchable without Gabe..different class 😅

[@jones828]

It would be better without commentary, just players talk. That makes poker fun.

[@Johnny-wi9ye]

@@jones828Such a bad take

[@zackkoenig9717]

Gabe, thank you for everything. Your commentary on season six during Dwan's $260k river bet bluff was the reason I started watching the game more intently. Your comedic and professional insight is what made this show so special. Wishing you nothing but the best for what lies ahead, you will be greatly missed!

[@sonnycusa]

NO Gabe, don't retire! You are one of the main reasons why I watch HSP! You and AJ are an awesome team!!

[@patrickjane4027]

Gabe is the reason why I watch high stakes.

[@playabaus5518]

HSP with Gabe and A.J. is simply legendary, loving it!

[@andresnoneya]

💯

[@keithb4077]

Gabe, your witty commentary has elevated the entertainment level of this entire game for many years. With or without you, we'll all be continually grateful for how much fun you've given us. I hope you continue, but if not, thank you for all the laughs.

[@joelok48]

Gabe makes the show funny. Funny trumps relevant, and makes the show relaxing and valuable entertainment. Priceless.

[@tberg6629]

10% from every pot they play, sounds fair to me

[@andrewjoseph5619]

Gabe is a legend it’s not even about knowing the players. You Just simplify the game so much to where everyone can somewhat get what’s going on

[@TheMidwestGator]

I typically skip all things Persson but watching this one for gabe.

[@GauravAreng]

HSP and PAD are probably the greatest poker shows ever!! Since the GSN days it still beat everything that PokerStars put together. Those were really fun too, no doubt, but, man, there's something about these shows. The best players, the best banter, and the absolute best commentary. The whole vibe was just always so great. Can't wait to watch more.

[@pilamcnu]

I am amazed by Jennifer Tilly never getting better at poker over the span of almost 20 years. Her wealth must know no limits.

[@daryl9799]

I'm sure she plays cause she likes it and probably thrives off the attention like all women do.

[@Noticing-Enjoyer]

Those chucky residual checks must be fat af.

[@kindnesslove5482]

She is limitless yes. She is one of few properly rolled for occasionally playing this big.

[@winningbackthegirl]

She’s so horrendous at the game lol

[@plank3000]

It’s all that liar liar and bride of chucky money

[@joelcuerrier4833]

Nothing ever got better than High Stakes Poker as a show, because Gabe Kaplan made it so fun.

[@Llamabets]

Thank you for the memories Gabe! Absolute goat commentator. Whatever poker go does please don’t bring in those boring commentators who are like “ I agree Ali very interesting sizing” every 10 seconds those guys make me wanna never watch poker

[@scottpremo4865]

Lol, id honestly like to see you commentate for hours and have something to talk about the whole time

[@Llamabets]

@@scottpremo4865 I’d probably just talk about the hands and throw in a few jokes but I’m not a poker commentator. Nothing against the poker go guys they are just boring asf. Feel like they should get Bart Hanson or something to commentate the high roller tournaments at least he doesn’t make me want to fall asleep

[@mikegrand4181]

We lost Mike Sexton and Norm Macdonald too soon. Now we have to say goodbye to Gabe. You taught me about Imhotep and where "poking the Bear" came from. You are a fount of wisdom and knowledge of life and poker. We love you for it. You bring humor and we always need that. You are a mensch in the greatest sense. May all your cards be live and all your pots monsters!

Gabe had a legendary run as a commentator for HSP, and its so like him to just spring it on everyone mid show, not only that but to joke about it too.

[@andresnoneya]

She’s leaning back but keeps her left hand on her neck/chin and she’s the tightest player 36:47 monster hand and nervousness I guess right? Also glad the poker gods brought that straight cause she’s way to tight to be playing HSP tbh and she shouldn’t even be there

[@Franciscasieri]

How can she just call when her 4 bet shove is perfectly sized and he's probably calling with only a third of his stack in

I learned so much about poker reasoning from listening to Gabe Kaplan. Also, contrary to what he imagined, lots of his poker fans know him as a standup comedian then mr kotter and on and on.

[@clementvw]

Best Gabe moment: Gabe: "Mike, can you beat a pair of sevens?" and Mike threw away the best hand.

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

I'll echo the rest here that Gabe is one of the very best 2-3 commentators of all time, perhaps Mike Sexton is the only guy I can think of that is comparable for intelligence, understanding of the game, people and great sense of comedic wit.

After i heard he is retiring, I couldn’t continue the episode. Im done too Gabe. Bless you for your humorous soul. Stay safe.

[@Boredintucson123]

Gabe, dripping sarcasm and genuinely hurting the feelings of his long time co-host. Mentions his regret of where his potential was when he first met Bobby Balwin and that now the only people that know who he is are have a PokerGO subscription. It’s crazy because when he first started saying he was retiring and that he was no longer qualified to commentate it felt sort of humble and tired. His feeling are obviously complicated, but it was just a rather jarring way to go about announcing his retirement and going on to thank Mori for, “whatever it is that he does”. Gabe will always be iconic and I’m sad to see the guy go, but if he’s not happy doing it - well, he shouldn’t. Pretty gangster move to retire on air like that, though. It’s literally to keep Mori/PokerGO from having the ability to negotiate with him to stay on. Anyways, for all I know, it was a bit that went over my head. My vote goes to Nick Schulman or Ali Nejad as they’re both grade A commentators.
