No, it's no just you. This is kind of how most of the hands go: bet,call; bet,call; bet,call; bet,call; bet,call. Just not very exciting to watch. And I'm not sure what to think about Ted's mullet.

Default The bad news....

I found out during the commercial from the CEO of Harrah's that I should no longer gamble, as I am lonely.

It's you but it's probably not just you.

The analysis on some of the stud hands was very bad. Specifically the fourth street calls with just a pair of 2's by Forrest and the other guy were neither loose nor questionable. This was especially true in Forrest's case when he picked up a 3-flush.

I don't like that ESPN is shuffling the order of their cards. It's important to see the order the cards were dealt. I guess ESPN figures their viewers can't figure out their hands if they're not aligned neatly.

It may be because it is limit. Less drama.

My feelings exactly. The order IS very important, why shuffle?
Also, I know how to play 7stud, but that tutorial was horrendous. Only a brief mention of how their is a bring in and ante, instead of blinds. I don't think the casual hold'em player learned anything about the mechanics of how to play stud.

Yes, stud is a bust. Is there any Omaha on the schedule?
