I'm quite positive ... ( 6 months ago by OLDELK95)

I'm quite positive that Mike Matasow was one of them. He was staked a few times on High Stakes poker by Phil Helmuth, Daniel Negreanu and by Shawn "Sheiky" Shekaan as noted during the episodes of High Stakes poker. They discuss who is being staked during the game by both the commentators and the players during the shows. But since then, he (Matasow) has changed up his game and has done well since then. Anyone else worth mentioning? I gather from what I heard & saw on HighStakesPoker. My Opinion.

Makes you wonder if thats why Sammy Farha has not been back huh? I have not heard about him for quite some time, or if he's even playing in the big game any longer either at the Bellagio...

Pretty good advice ... ( 6 months ago by nemeth2009)

Pretty good advice from Eli, and he's right about the, having other income streams as backup, having poker as your sole source of income is very risky unless you're ridiculously well bankrolled.

Array ( 6 months ago by janjin46)

@OLDELK95 Maybe Sammy, the last times he was gammbling so much, all the time drawing. i hope he is ok because he is great for the show and good guy.

They've ruined the atmosphere by bringing in Ivey. The other players seem afraid to be themselves and have fun talking, which is the fun pat to listen to them BS. Ivey is a boring stiff and looks it. Has a huge chip on his shoulder. Lose him b4 show loses ratings.
