Gsn High Stakes-7/31

[Gallo 1]

Ok, I may get flamed for this, but here goes.Personally, Ithink Greenstein had a huge tell on his big bluff against Eli.Greenstein's eyes werejust going berserk,he was blinking at a very high rate plushis eyes were roaming everywhere but at Eli's chips. Once in awhile Barry would take a very quick glance at Eli's chips, but he tried so hard not to glance at his chips.In Mike Caro's book of tells, he states that amateurs often glance at an opponents chips when they are weak. I've seen this tell and have used it to my advantage quite a bit. Anyway, because pro poker players know about this tell they often try to do the opposite.I didn't get to really see Barry's eyes on his first bluff of the night, but I don't think his eyes went berserk because it wasn't really for all his chips and he figured the other player didn't have much of a hand anyway. But Eli had the King and Barry knew he was beat if Eli called.But like I said, it's just my opinion, but I honestly believe that Barry had a strong tell there in that hand against Eli. And I don't think an argument that "Barry's a pro blah, blah..." holds water because everyone has a tell you just gotta find it.Flame on!!

I didnt notice that, but I highly doubt that BG is giving off a tell that is so obvious. ELi definetely didnt see anything.

If I remember correctly, Eli was too busy counting his chips and trying to figure out what Barry had. He never really looked at Barry up until he asked him if he raised with one of the crazy Barry hands like 54.

I just watched it again, and to me it looks like Barry keeps looking at his chips, Eli's chips, and then at Eli. He looks around the table a little bit, but he definitely keeps looking at Eli's stack.

What an all in fest this episode. Eli should of called vs Barry. I agree with the first post about the tell. Barry didnt seem that comfortable. Knowing how ultra aggressive BG is, his allin reraise was more likely to be a bluff. Unlikely he would make that move with AK, KQ, A4...and I dont think Barry would of raised so little with a 54,43,42 preflop hand in late postion. More likely a full out bluff or semi-bluff flush draw. The hand between Eli and DN reminded me of the semi-bluff Todd Brunson made on DN the episode before. I think thats why Eli made that bet vs DN.The two new players really seem out of their league. Zeidman should of known he was beat when Filippi says "If you push all in i'll probably fold!" What a tell!!Can't wait to see Gus Hansen in the game. Want to see the hand between Gus and DN play out.

I think that that was one of those bluffs where u make it, and the second after you think, oh **** what did I do. I think thats why Barry's eyes were moving around so fast, I dont think was trying to not look at Eli's chip's he was just nervous as hell. I agree that it was a tell either way, the first thing I though off when I saw Barry is that Eli's is gonna pick up that he is bluffing. I think Barry realized what he was doing about half way in and started to stare blankly. The other thing that was cool was Barry's talk during the hand. It was genius, he eliminated any possibility of a call with his responses.

Its a great show and it barely costs anything to produce. I mean they film a hole season in just three days. It was smart of gsn to create this show.

i caught up with all the episodes recently thanks to pokerbay and now pretty much tournament poker shows bore me now. The cash game is so much more interesting to watch.The show is only missing some appearances by Ivey and Chip Reese to make it complete.

That would be awesome to watch. A televised version of the big game would be just amazing, but they would not do that. I want to see Ivey on it with Negreanu.
