Some of the most recognizable faces and names in poker talking about poker on television and its impact on the game. This roundtable includes Howard Lederer, Phil Gordon, Mike Matusow, Daniel Negreanu and Phil Hellmuth, along with host Chris Rose facilitating the discussion.

I love that Phil Gordon calls Matusow on his bull and Matusow blows up.

An amazing hand of poker?

5 pairs out of 6 hands, and the announcers are astounded, ASTOUNDED! And then that flop?

What?

Didn’t they notice the PartyPoker (Bonus Code IGGY, dammit!) logo in the background?

Phil Laak talks up The Hammer

Tim aka BSN — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 05:56:16 +0000

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!

Devilfish vs Tony G.

Tim aka BSN — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 05:37:08 +0000

This is a really interesting hand, and not just because Dave “Devilfish” Ulliot calls Tony G. a ‘fucking prick’ after G flops a 3-outer. Fish comes back to river with his own 3-outer and the best hand holds up, but the trash-talking is great and Vickie Coren has a helluva decision to make with AQ after an all-in and a call in front of her.

These points leagues can change the strategy at the table at any given moment based on each players position in the standings, and make a different dynamic than the standard NLHE tournament.

But, if you want REAL entertainment, the comments by each player at the end of the video are AWESOME!
