- Okay, we need to talk about what just went down on High Stakes Poker. Nik Airball, Matt Berkey, Rob Yong, Jennifer Tilly, Lynn Ji, and Eric Persson sat down for an epic live stream cash game. However, the fans had some strong opinions about the outcome. There was also an incident over at Hustler Casino Live, where Phil Hellmuth blasted off and abruptly left the game. Let's jump into it.

The Doosh
Please stop taking so loud when there is huge decisions man. I love u🫡
My big problem with the stream was just how tight people were playing. Eric person was unrecognizable. He was just a nit and lynn was ever tighter.
Was you cringing hearing Berkey tell that story about JRB? Look at his face when he hears Berkey talking about him lol
The problem with current High Stakes Poker is that it has really nothing in common with the old HSP. No Gabe Kaplan commentary, no world-class players other than Doug. It's just another poker stream.
No. The problem is that back then you thought it was world class players. Only one or each table could have been called that. The rest were the fishiest
Matt berkey does some inertia shit on his poker out loud. Clearly a World class player.
@@bigwengz914 describe this “inertia shit” you are talking about. Is it here in the room with us?
Unfortunately Doug isn’t in that circle… def a world class player but he’s just not in that world. Rob made that very clear if you watched the stream. I think people are missing the point of what high stakes poker is. Doug even mentioned it when he talked about the tables net worth.
Jennifer is fun to watch. She makes some interesting moves
Respect to Phil for an honest exit from the Hustler stream. Owned his shit play, explained without making excuses, and was polite to the other players. Took his lumps and then kicked rocks.
I don't like watching sad Phil ... feels bad man
This is probably how 99% of his poker games end. Politely and professionally.
He did say he was tired
I especially liked the "losing is so unlike me" part, lmao. But yeah, it was better than usual.
I respected the way Phil left a table for once. Polite, and shook everyone’s hands. I imagine this is how it generally happens when the cameras are off.
I've been around Phil in person. He's exactly who you see on camera and off camera.
Lol no
Why are we giving him flowers for acting like a normal human once in like 20 years? Quite a low bar.
@@ascohen11180 helmuth fans have to find a way to justify for cheering for a scumbag
I have seen him be a good sport a few times.
But yeah... thats setting a low bar, praising someone for not being a complete jack ass.
Lynne's laugh is the absolute nut low
She gets a pass from me.
Bobs.
i love her laugh. I bet your gay.
Airball talking to the dealer like that is incredibly ignorant
Youve got to love Jungle. The man is doing exactly what he wants to do and being exactly who he wants to be while doing it
Which is being what super hero?
I don’t know if the stream was worth the cash “expenditure” for exposure but it was extremely well done. One of the best live streams I’ve ever watched.
I think the reason the Hellmuth story is noteworthy, is because of him being a good sport about his bad play and owning up to it instead of blaming "idiot players."
He is beginning to realize thar he is quite idiotic himself, but with pockets of wisdom.
The stream was tough for many not bc of the nail on a chalkboard style cackling by Lynne but also the glutinous slob behavior by airball. Can’t forget Nik calling Lynne a “Fkn btch” in the Persson KK straddle where he just flatted a 3b but I didn’t mind that much.
Also you forgot that Nik tried to hit on her in a creep way on the stream. Also I didn't know that Lynn and Matt were an item a while ago that ended badly.
@@TheEvilJade yes, they dated for a year and Berkey beat her out of $1M during that time.
Lynne's face is also absolutely hideous, which doesn't help
It was actually nice to see berkey Airball and persson getting on enjoyable watch. Airball definitely brings action
I’ve been watching poker almost everyday on TV or online… I’ve watching the episodes of high stakes with Doyle, Esfandiar etc…I watched almost 90% your stream that day, I thought it was really good. I was laughing my ass off that Berky didn’t say one word for over 40mins while your cracking jokes back and forth with everyone. Grade A content
It was the only poker stream ive ever watched that wasn't for the poker. The players interacting with each other with all the inside drama from either channels like Dougs or just watching them on stream. Made it a game to watch and in my opinion it lived up to its hype
A noise gate will limit background noise/hiss, etc. What you need for a live stream like that is a compressor/limiter. This is certainty something the PokerGo production team should already have access to.
not doug polk inventing compression
Would definitely be a limiter for the use case rather than compression as transient control is not desired. Some compressors can brickwall though however the attack controls on many more are still "slow" even at their fastest setting. Like you I'm also suprised to see (I should say "hear" lol) that PokerGo doesn't already have one in their setup.
There is no noise gate for a guy trying to think when people are screaming
Your takes are my favorite! I watched the pokergo stream last night and this morning and the whole thing was VERY enjoyable! I love seeing the raw and unedited stuff. Thanks for sharing!
I watched it live and I thought it was very entertaining. You had the friction between air ball and berky. Eric persons and jeniffer Tilly with chucky holding the cranberry. You had Rob Young who’s supposed to be the whale but actually played the best out of anybody. Not to mention Venessa, what a great lineup.
Was Venessa the dealer?
I want more unedited high stakes. Enjoyed it thank you.
Lynn never stopped laughing
She never stopped being circus ugly either
She's annoying
Phil is simultaneously one of the best tourney players and one of the worst cash game players.
I watched the entire stream and loved it, especially the end!
I popped in and out a bunch but I thought it was good
How do you not discuss Airball being wasted?
I'm sure he took an Uber there, so he wouldn't have to worry about being pulled over with drugs on him
One of the best watching streams. First stream my wife enjoyed watching. Way more entertaining than the norm!!!
I hope you had fun. Thats what matters. Thanks for bringing us some highlights :)
5:00 Mark Is what i love to see!!! Humble Phil actually taking accountability for his hand selection/play and not pointing the finger at the opponent. Well done my son!
I loved the stream. As soon as I saw the table lineup and how Berkey was in-between you and Airball I knew it was going to be good. All the table talk and light roasting of eachother was hilarious. Yet everytime I checked the chat it was people talking about how terrible everything was. Oh well 😂
When this stream ended, I messaged some friends that they need to watch it. Thought it was the best High Stakes I’ve seen.
You ae correct... The audio can be processed through a compressor /limiter which will level out the soft and loud parts.
Hi Doug, you don’t want a noise gate (that’s used to filter out low volume noise). What I think you mean is a compressor that will lower volume over a certain volume threshold such that volume variation is minimized.
The PokerGO stream reminded me of a Michael Bay movie: loud, explosive, critics hate it, but wildly entertaining.
my personal issue with the hsp stream was that it felt too much banter-y at key points. when there were big hands, people just kept rattling off compared to usual hsp streams when people would quiet down a little and allow the poker to speak for itself. felt more like a 1/2 table with the talking rather than what was advertised
Wow u snow flake
Yea, people muscling each other to get shitty conversation in. Might as well not played any poker, since that seemed to be an afterthought.
Yoi do understand that in those "key moments", the editors have turned everyone else's microphones off, right?
And that this stream was *not* edited.... right?
🙄
if this is how you feel, why watch an entertainment stream at all? This was great entertainment.
@@allenbythesea high stakes POKER, not high stakes entertainment. Is this wwe?
I actually really enjoyed the banter, it was the only recent stream ive been able to watch for longer than an hour, almost watched the whole thing!!
The pokergo stream was awesome. People will complain no matter what.
those same people will complain about having to pay to see the edited version.
And no, they wont pay for it.
Yeah they were having fun, and it was a good game.
Exactly
That was raw, “real poker” for better and for worse. You’ll get the times people take it seriously like Berkey. You’ll get the times people’s actions get them crucified on Twitter like Nik Airball’s getting Berkey’s chips and making the dealer “collateral damage” with some perceived behavior “unbecoming of a Poker Pro.” You’ll get people shooting the breeze like Jen Tilly. You’ll get people like Lynne and Rob who like to needle, first Berkey, then Doug. (They probably got burned by “Coinflex” and felt it was time to “flex back” onto the “salesman”.). But for all things, it was pure poker, plain and simple without editorial attention. Straight up and without hesitation. Not sure if AJ and Nick could have done live commentary all those hours. But it was good, and it was true. That’s what matters.
seriously. If we listened to the people who complain about shit like this poker will never grow. It was _great._ Highly entertaining and the kind of thing you could watch with somebody who doesn’t know anything about poker. My _girlfriend_ was asking me for updates on the “tea” and she doesn’t know anything about the game
I'd rather have heard more stories like the one Berkey told about JRB than 20 more references to patches, Coinflex, and Doug having 0.2% of himself.
I wanted to hear that story. Berk talked about that the other day. I want to hear all of those behind the scenes stories.
Audio limiter could do the trick with the audio spikes. Some times it can sound obvious if there is a hard limit, but it can be blended!
The sound volume control is called Dynamic range compression (DRC). Because teh strream has a 3 minute or some lag it can be applied to the stream. It would be nice.
It’s wasn’t the tec it’s the people . People aren’t entertains their annyoring . You were borderline but the nic airbag and other girl laughing none stop at every shit joke was the real problem
Who is old enough to remember the Phil Helmuth WSOP coverage where he was all zen and explaining that yes he was a brat before but he's meditating now and working on being better? Fun fact that was TWENTY YEARS AGO.
Another complaint: Berkey's head is way too shiny. So people are going deaf from the audio and blind from Berkey's glazed noggin.
To me, I’d argue most high stakes streams would do a minimum or close to that amount of views especially free on youtube. That said twitter is toxic. I really think selling a broken pokergo last year really hurt how big poker could have gotten with how big youtube is and with all the most popular youtubers also playing. I was just happy to see a free stream with good stream quality (no crashing, comments work, able to 2x the speed and watch the live replay). Also I was personally only upset at airball looking at Lynnes mucked aces like he owns the place. Then again what room do I have to be upset at that?
Best stream that ever happened imo. Loved it!
Jungle knows all about being good for the game. His antics are the best.
Dan is the best gentleman around in the hole poker scene if you asked me.
Dan’s look and his antics do not match whatsoever
Love jungle
@@flashrabbit9 why? His look doesn’t match his appearance at all.
You mean Mickyangelo
Literally, anybody over airball. The worst
appreciate your wisdom and accuracy, and as always, with your tongue firmly in your cheek! You do a great job, Doug. Thx!
Never thought I’d hear Hellmuth actually admit he played badly. Color me shocked!
He had K6 honey!!!
Berkey is inbetween 2 people who he doesn’t get on with. Not exactly gonna be chatty is he
he's got a small, boring personality, and he seems to thibk it's everyone else's fault.
@@allancouceiro9255 grow up
@@billymabum3514 no you grow up
The problem with volume peaks can be solved with audio compression. This is one of the oldest most used tools in an audio engineer's toolkit and available to everyone doing livestreams or video recording and editing.
everytime nik airball lynn and doug were in a pot they pretty much checked it down like they were on same team.
Poker go was great. It was way more entertaining than most streams. Lots of funny moments plus great poker.
I enjoyed most of the stream. Other than the cackling it was nice to finally see Doug and Berkey on the same table.
They were on the same table at a Live at the Bike several years ago too. Doug got Berkey big with a big donkey play.
I think poker channels never put compression on the vocals, which could really help out the changes in volume. Limiters would work as well.
Since you have your hand in The Lodge, please consider software compression in whatever program you're using for streaming. Any sound production folks will be able to help you out with it.
Side note; I thought the stream was fun, if not chaotic. And yeah, Nik is a PITA, and other folks were as well. But the more you watched, the more you realized that it was kinda like hanging out at a dive bar late at night. At first, some of the folks are grating. But then you realize that they're just more unfiltered than most folks.
Looking at the PokerGo line up I can't overlook the fact that Doug wearing something nice, like a suit, would make the whole thing more colorful, nicer on the eye, and more entertaining to watch.
I didn’t enjoy the stream to be honest. Lynne shouldn’t be anywhere near this game and it was overall pretty unbearable to watch. Few highlights with the hands themselves as well. That part is just the cards that were dealt but a pretty unlikeable group compared to the greats of the past.
Why watch if you didn’t enjoy? I don’t watch movies, tv shows, or sports games that I don’t find entertaining.
You’re not entitled to enjoying these things but you are allowed to voice your opinion and decide what you partake in.
@@TDH what are you on about? I watched it, gave it every chance. But overall it was very disappointing. I had my doubts on it beforehand but I love High Stakes Poker and would still watch it anyway because it could have been good after all?
Yes it’s like a movie. I watched it, gave it a go and didn’t like it. What is the problem with voicing that opinion on this video which is talking specifically about the reaction to it?
That fake Berkey tweet destroyed me 😂😂😂
10:46 a compressor in the audio line levels out spikes and brings up quiet audio
I watched the last 2 hours of that drunk airball stream and it was entertaining to me because I wanted to see if he was able to keep his winnings at the end.
Personally, I truly enjoyed the stream. I thought Doug did a great job of being the butt of many of the jokes. Rob was spitting hot fire and Berkey was just in his head steaming all night. Doug’s shot out to Nick Schulman was praise well deserved.
That stream was some of the greatest entertainment I’ve seen in a while!
It reminded me of the saying, 'Never meet your favorite celebrity because you're going to be disappointed" We met some of our poker celebrities "Unedited/unscripted" and most didn't like what they saw.
I watched the PokerGo video and I enjoyed hearing you guys joke around and have a good time. Also congrats on being invited to the $1 million game, Doug!
IMO alot of the negativity comes from folks comparing the old school to the new school. Back in the day you respected the cast members. Ivey, Negreanu, the Godfather of Poker Texas Dolly, Sammy Farha, The Robinhood of Poker Barry Greenstein, Johnny Fuck'n Chan!! and many many more. These guys were all legends with distinct personalities and character.. Now were dealing with folks that are somewhat unpolished, with little accolades. Some would say rich brats. Also, back in the day, poker was new and exciting and watching someone raise even $5000 of their own money was frick'n amazing. Now weve seen so many six figure pots that weve become desensitized in a way.
I dunno why-but I absolutely love when Doug shakes his head and face when he says “Breaking News”. It’s such a gangsta and high budget way of getting that “Brrrrrrr” sound in “breaking”. Lol.
That isn't what a noise gate does. A noise gate shuts off audio once it drops below a certain level. It is too clean up background noise. Maybe an audio compressor.
I kinda like that Hellmuth was so honest in his interview, he really does bring a lot of colour to the game too. Enjoy him while we still got him.
LOL, you talk like he's a one of a kind type of player hat would be sorely missed if he retired. He's just a bad cash game player that stupidly berates other better players when he loses pots. He brings nothing in terms of skills or insight, he's mildly entertaining when others destroy him in poker or trash talk, or both.
I'd miss seeing him humiliated, but nothing more.
“I think I’m gonna win the first one”
“I think you’re stupid” Lmao
Best stream ever! I'd watch this lineup play every day!
The PokerGo stream was one of the most entertaining I've seen in months. Especially the back and forths between Rob and Doug.
That Stream was the best ever!!!! As a former Poker Dealer that was epic, and reminds me of no limit tables back in early 2000s.
As a former Audio engineer on the show, it’s more up to the director/producer. They tell us to keep to audio up or down. They probably wanted that good banter pumped high. Now as for a compressor (not a noise gate) that should definitely be used for the laughing and yelling. This was awesome to watch and I miss working there so much 😂
It’s called a limiter that is the piece of equipment you need. I’m pretty sure most audio engineers are aware of this.
i thought that was one of if not the best high stakes poker episodes ever, the table talk was a bit much at times but it was highly entertaining, and I am typically more for high level pro vs pro stuff
edit: "compression" would be the right audio effect to fix the table talk issues. You set a threshold for the decibal min/max
thats crazy because I really enjoyed the high stakes livestream. Actually, it was one of the most recent high stakes shows where the people felt real. Like, people joking around, taking it lightly while also taking their hands and the money very seriously, 3-betting preflop frequently enough and overall just having a really good time. The bejeweled Chucky was also a funny ongoing joke too. IDK wth these guys are on about
i thought the high stakes game was funny af, good job on everybody, it was very entertaining. keep up the good work Doug love your content
'the audio volume will randomly spike huge and your eardrums will get blown out' made me lmao
"I feel like you're scooping" is a great needle.
All these antics, eventually carry over to regular games. Where being rude is part of the game.
Shut up
Love Doug, Love Poker but I had a hard time watching it. Just being honest
How did you find a clip of PH leaving with chips? Is that some historical archive?
I dont think the jam with A9 against airball is that bad, ive seen airball bet a lot worse than A9 suited, with the A blocker too, and with a tight reputation i dont mind it.
you may not have meant to, but you dragged their audio people HARD. The hypothetical piece of gear you described as a "kind of noise gate where a mic hits a certain threshold etc." is a compressor, literally the most common tool in an audio engineers belt
I enjoyed the stream. I only found it annoying early on when all the players and commentators were talking over eachother and it was incomprehensible. It calmed down after a little while and became much better, plus had entertaining hands
The issue with the audio can be easily fixed with a compressor. It's something that would be nice for Upswing, as well. Particularly, the "One on One Coaching with Ryan Fee". Ryan's audio is at like 5 and the student's is at 11, really hurts the ears and the speakers...I can fix that stuff for you, I got time.
Phil only plays with the money Hustler gives him. They need to make a rule that he needs to at least match what they give him. For someone who thinks he’s the poker God, he seems to play with no bankroll against amateur fields. Some God of poker
I believe it was the greatest stream of all time, don't know why everyone hated it. I bingewatched the whole thing
It's an illusion based on numbers. If you have 300k viewers and 10% are rabid haters, then you'd have ~30k people on twitter/reddit bitching and moaning regardless of quality and content. It just feels like people didn't like it because it was advertised well and probably pulled in more than usual viewership.
tl;dr More than usual viewership; more than usual criticism.
Same here I had fun watching that idk what the problem is
I ate some bad breakfast this morning. A now I have explosive diarrhea. It just won't stop. Feels like I'm shitting out my organs.
Thank you for sharing that with all of us here today.
Couldn't be worse than the stream
Phil's reading ability really came into play on that hand.
The exact thing you described about the microphone exists, it’ll called a compressor/limiter
Yes, the stream was good, BUT it is also true that Lynne's fake laugher made it worse than it could have been. It was very annoying and it persisted for much of the stream.
Also, the show got a lot of view because it was the most anticipated poker stream of the year. It had many viewers before it even started. It does mean it was an epic stream.
Two main issues with the stream… you guys repeated jokes and needles a lot. The cash joke and the two patches was non stop, move on. And the volume on some people was too high. So it was hard to listen to the weird cackling plus the commentators and table ended up talking over one another. And Doug, I know you love doing that weird voice when you’re quoting someone or making fun of someone, but you don’t have to do it over and over. You handled rob pretty well though.
Doug, you were speaking about technology and a microphone, and how to limit the volume… That technology does exist its called a compressor, you can use them to limit any volume spikes, and even raise the volume on moments when it is too low, it basically normalizes the whole audio Experience 🤓
Was the Ac9c shove from Phil really that bad? Or is it fine at a low frequency? I've seen Airball 3bet with T7o and be wayyyyy too loose
Hellmuth embarrassed himself as always.
not this time, sure he played bad, but he acted somewhat gracefully for once
Like Doug said, I think this is actually the most respectable I've ever seen Hellmuth come across after losing... Totally expected a massive blow up over Jungle even playing K6
best poker stream in forever. I pay for the subscription, and this is the best thing that could have happened for my renewal chances.
Doug is on fire right now. I really did in joy the love stream this session.
Well the day didn’t get much better for Phil. Glad he got to catch that Warriors game.
To everyone watching these videos: Dont tell me you've never tried to do the "BBBBBBreaaaking news" while shaking your head
I have lol
I admit nothing 😂
Only thing I thought was annoying was the announcers non stop talking over the table.
THIS
Question for Doug or anyone who takes studying seriously... Is there really a point to play GTO poker style rather than people you are going to play on a consistant basis? Like when you mention you should have some "A5, A4, 76" type of 3 bets and 4 bets in a tournament or cash game... Then what is the point to add those in our range if we are only going to be playing a few dozen hands with said player or table. Wouldn't it make more sense to just push the better hands more because we don't really have an image? Hopefully this makes sense...
Found it funny when Doug showed video of his and Negreanu's match it indicated even he watched only half of it.
Phil Helmuth is no longer relevant. Sorry your cash game sucks. Somebody bring the trike he can’t ride a bike. The poker go live ( Helmouth owns part of poker go ) was terrible, major disappointment. It did not work at all.
