| Laliberte (French for "liberty") is how it's spelled. He's a billionaire as Chuck said: Guy Laliberte, The World's Richest People - Forbes.com There was only 1 episode -- this is from next week's show. That is what prompted my question above burrito. |

| There is no room for nice in poker. Take all the money. Why else play? At least run it 2 or 3 times to reduce the variance, but don't just end the hand with both of them all-in and no Turn or River. I wrote a post on this, GSN's $500K High Stakes Poker - a little soft ,http://www.cardschat.com/f13/gsn-s-5...e-soft-100369/. I want to see blood on the felt! |

| re: Guy Laliberté nicest man on earth? poker I didn't know it was okay to grave rob. Maybe I'd have started fewer new threads if I did... Yeah weird video. I dunno though, it's his money, he can do what he wants with it. Maybe it was a French connection or something, whatever. |

| Guy said in that episode that he had a premonition/bad feeling about the hand. Even though he was a favorite, he was worried about losing. Not "worried" in what losing the money would mean, but worried about his "ego"? (dunno if that's the right term, but it's all I can think of at the moment). |

| Guy is a new poker player (2 years) but has done quite well in his short time .He is coached by Isabell (No mercy) Mercier a great player from Canada. Last fall he made a final table of a wpt event and finished 5th I think. He occasionally plays in some hi stakes poker games in Vegas and does well . Biggest plus for him .....he never plays with scared money and its a huge advantage to his game....Wish we could all play that way IMHO give him some well deserved respect. |

| He said hed donate half his winnings at that table to charity. I think itd been better to win and give it to these kids than leave it for Benyamine. Then hedve been a really good guy. I think it ruins the whole point of the game. If he wants to be mr billionaire nice guy to them, why play...just give them your money. |

| Yeah that guy just want to entertain himself, he doesnt care at all about the money. Doyle Brunson on his blog a few days ago wrote that Guy bought 2 Bugati Veyron (the most expensive car on the planet 1.4million$ each) And also he wins about 2 million every night because the circus... i mean while most of the other players where playing above their limits he was just gambling and having some fun. |

I agree, they should definitely drop the buyin for the next HSP, although I have heard rumours that the buyin might be increased to 1 million. That would be really boring, If they ever did get all the money in on the flop for 2 million they would run it like 10 times, lol. |
