PokerStars: The BIG Game in 2024


Nikki Limo is the first loose cannon. I guess she hosts some podcast or something. Never heard of her.

I think running it 4x was justifiable in that spot. Extremely unlikely she loses 2, and even then she is still a small winner. Such a disaster if she runs it once and Dave hits his four outer. Plus everyone at that table should be doing everything they can to appease Dave.

Speaking of which, Michael Ian Black reminded me of some of the miserable nitregs I play with at Mohegan Sun 1/2.


20ish hands left. Running it 4x is terrible.


Terrible lineup this time. Grosky just trying to chipdump. Like what the F is with this "i want you to win" ****?
Overall it's painful to watch this game, just nutpeddling. Grafton OK, pulling moves from time to time and has chat. Maria Ho is solid TAG and meets the eye, can't go wrong with that.
Laak past his time boring nit. Grosky just absolute dream for every table, i mean there isn't a table, where he isn't the mark. Michael Ian Black weak nit.
It's just a boring watch of nits trying to get Groskys money. So little 3betting and stealing, just peddling along.
I think the problem is that this game is too small for the real Gs of poker now, but it needs some juice.
Lineup should be a combination of guys like that IMO:
Loose cannon
Ambitious billionaire, who loves poker(in the mold of Laliberte)
Some online cashgame wizard
1 guy from the Macao scenery(this will never happen as 50k is peanuts for those I guess)
Dwan for creativity and he always has the talk at the tables.
Eye candy(Maria Ho)
Drunken finn
One of those streamer guys


It just doesn't work right now IMO.

The answer is yes and in a couple of days time.

Being honest this table line up looks ******* awful compared to the first one (apart from Phil Laak who always brings something unique to a game)

Agree that it looks awful. Who is this guy in yellow t-shirt? he's such a clown...


Worst setup , Worst Group , Poker Stars your loose cannon selection of influencers instead of normal players was the worst ever decision you could of made !!!! It's so obvious both selections were chosen by party favors . Hell if i ever watch such a disgusting fake show


The stakes werent high enough, 12 years ago they were showing 200/400 with a 100k stake.

With inflation it should be something like 500/1k with a 250k stake instead they went smaller, the game was smaller then the weekly wednesday game at hustler, nobody cared.


It was very woke, very 2024, it was aimed at a recreational player.

That being said I did enjoy it.

what do you expect, these shows are only made for the purpose of advertising

even in 2010, stars wasn’t producing the big game and shark tank to provide quality content as a culture favor to the poker masses, they did it to convince recs that poker is fun and that they should play on stars


Happy for Lily, she was a better player than Nikki and she deserves it after her cancer battle.

Dave purposely playing even worst than he's capable of for TV was a bit annoying. It was beyond obvious that he wanted to look like a hero gifting money.

They need to actually have someone who plays online cash for a living and crushes next season IMO. 0 out of 13 people fit this criteria, it was just fish, the cannons and a few online torny regs.


Watching Nick Wright's podcast and he just said that himself and Rob Gronkowski will be on the next season.

He mentioned November, but I didn't catch if that was when it would be filmed or when it would air.

Wow. That's actually really 😎 nice


Watching Nick Wright's podcast. He did the filming last week and said it would probably air in a couple months. Obviously he wasn't allowed to say anything about the results but he did share the table lineup.

Loose Cannon
Himself
Gronk
Hellmuth
Laak
Esfandiari


Why cant it air sooner

Filming this has to be super easy, dont see why we cant have a new season a month after the last ended

Takes time to film and edit the unnecessary 5 minute long intro/recap for each episode, and the short player interviews after every other hand.
