This is a really interesting analysis of a hand from season 3 of High Stakes Poker. Daniel Negreanu breaks down the action and his thinking in a hand where he gets trapped on the flop. He believes he makes a mistake on the flop. Watch and see if you agree:

Let’s get back to some real poker.

My favorite poker show is High Stakes Poker on GSN. Here’s the first hand Jamie Gold plays, and he’s up against Doyle Brunson.

“This is real money here, Jamie”

Lesson learned.

This is my favorite hand ever of TV poker – Barry Greenstein and Sammy Farha during the first season of High Stakes Poker. Sammy had been playing loose and fast all night, winning all along, while Barry played patient until Barry picks up AA and Sammy picks up KK on the final hand of the evening. Nearly $400,000 is at stake.

Wait until you see this flop…

Poker bloggers have long known the power of The Hammer.

Want to know what The Hammer is?

It’s 7-2 offsuit, otherwise known as the worst hand in poker. Poker bloggers have turned playing The Hammer into an art forum, though. It’s easy, really: Play it like Aces.

In Phil’s game, there’s an additional twist: If you win a pot with The Hammer and show the hand, the other players have to pay you an extra $500!
