I hope they keep him on. As Esfandiari said shortly after Dwan sat down, "seat belts and airbags everyone, Dwan is here." With all due respect to The Professor, I think his miss-play of the hand cost him the pot. What was he putting Dwan on by the time he was 4-bet preflop? Obviously not rags otherwise he re-raises for everything. Or, he represents AA or KK and shoves, making Dwan fold. Durrr can't possibly call there, unless he feels like just donking off another 200K for sh#ts and giggles. If Lederer has Dwan on AA, KK, or QQ, hoping to hit something on the flop after all the preflop action seems amateurish. Again, much respect Lederer. Lederer has to know Dwan is a complete bomb maniac, and The Professor is so nitty, I'm surprised he didn't either fold or shove everything in. I'd love to hear his thought process of the hand as they replay it on tv. To get in the mind of both players at these crucial points would be awesome. There High Stakes, you have a new hour segment where you replay the biggest hands of the past few weeks with voice-over analysis from those involved.

I don't know why a lot of people have a difficult time understanding what constitutes a 3bet, 4bet, and a reraise: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yY3U2Ro5Nc&feature=channel_page Actually, in the second to last paragraph, instead of saying “Durrrr just 4bet Howard with an 8-6 offsuit” you should say “Durrrr just 5bet Howard with an 8-6 offsuit.”

I can't stand watching guys like him play. I prefer strategy and sound decisions over his chasing and luck. High Stakes has been very disappointing this season. They've gotten away from what made the program attractive and replaced it with bluffaroni.
