Pocket Kings, the hand of doom. In the normal 52 card version this would be tough luck to lose an preflop all in with KK vs AQ, but with the reduced deck the chances are far more even.
Didn't expect Robl to play there, tho. To action packed for the style i have ssen from him before.

Perhaps you are right to fold two kings very hard ... about as hard as to fold two aces .... or 2 queens .... or 2 jacks .... but Two kings is a pretty good hand .... especially if on There is no ace at the table .... then you can raise the stakes .... And here's another ace on the table and the opponent raises the stakes ..... then you need to overcome ambitions and lose 2 kings

This game can be watched by those who are interested to play it. If they have no plans to play this game in the future, then they will lose time without winning anything. Holdem poker players will be confused with Triton Poker. I do not think this game will be successful.

I have been watching these guys playing poker and it is truly frightening the amounts of money they are playing for. You could swear that they are using play money and not real cash and it is mind blowing

Remember the ultra high stakes cash games on the old Full Tilt, roughly ten years ago? Those pots were even higher. Adrenaline junkies just need ever higher doses, and in poker this means ever higher stakes. And if they can suck in money from outside the poker world, it is even better.

Another episode of this version of poker. Now i took the time to read the rules for this one. Besides the twist with the full house, there is another one with the ace and the straight. Still a game that i wouldnt like to watch, even with these players in.

Yeah but at least those weren't like this gimped shortdecked version of the game. I get it if somebody wants to stir up the pot by taking out low numbers but it just doesn't create much excitement for me. Getting broadway cards on almost every turn and making hands left and right is just ruining the suprise factor of the overall gameflow 4me.
