February 8, 2010 · Posted in Tv Poker Shows · Comments 

In case you like to watch high stakes NL Texas Holdem cash games on TV (like I do, for instance), then this will definitely be something of interest to you: TV Poker show High Stakes Poker season 6 is being broadcasted on GSN on February the 14th!

Hopefully the episodes will soon be available on the internet as well (for those of us who cant watch NBC TV channel)! According to the information in the video interview below (CPTV Poker Buzz) the season 6 is going to be worth watching for sure! Here is why:

The poker players involved in High stakes Season 6

This season’s lineup of poker players that will be playing in the show is pretty amazing (as usual I would say)! Lots of players have already participated in High Stakes Poker TV Show before. This includes professional poker players and celebrities like Daniel Negreanu, Phill Hellmuth, Phil Ivey, Antonio Esfandiari, Tom Dwan, Patrick Antonius, Mike Matusow and Gus Hansen.

We are going to see italian poker player Dario Minieri that has already played before (season 5 of High Stakes Poker). According to Wikipedia he is pretty much an online poker heads up specialists that plays online under the nickname »Dariominieri« and is also part of the Team PokerStars as well.

The blinds and the buy-ins

All players are going to be playing with their own money. Blinds are the same as in season 5 I think ($300/$600, antes: $200). This means big pots happening almost for sure and some of the players are going to get stacked pretty certainly.

In case Phill Hellmuth gets sucked out badly at least once, I am pretty much sure he will end up among the losing players. But ofcourse, lets wait and see. What about you, who do you think will be this season’s winners and losers?

Anyways, the minimum buyin is $200,000, but there is no limit to how much certain player can buyin for from that point up.

Other things worth mentioning

There has been some changes regarding commentators in the show. As you know, in previous seasons of High Stakes Poker, the hosts were Gabe Caplan and A.J. Benza. In this season though, Gabe Caplan co-host will be Kara Scott.

She will be interviewing players away from the tables through out the whole show with the intention to provide viewers insights into what strategies certain players are using and why. I do not know her from before, but obviously she is well known in the poker world as a professional poker player as well as poker commentator.

To sum it up: The show is by my opinion surely going to be very interesting to watch as well as learn new NL Texas Holdem things from the best players in the world! Do not forget to watch the below video interview about High stakes poker season 6 for more information about this TV Poker Show, which includes some interesting interviews with producers of High Stakes Poker and co-host Kara Scott:

So, what do you think, who is going to win money this year and who is going to lose it? I am really eager to know, so please leave it in the comments below : )
