Thoughts on High Stakes Poker going off the air

Hey. Thought i would get your thoughts on the recent High Stakes Poker problem. For those who dont know, HSP has had difficulty geting resigned on GSN. I for one think it is the best poker show out there and would hate seeing it go.

Unfortunately I am pretty confident HSP will not get its contract renewed by GSN. The buzz is that the person who was responsible for bringing in HSP and then the WPT to GSN has left the network and his replacement is definitely not pro poker. Currently even WPT's contract has lapsed and apparently negotiations are underway with other networks. Who knows what will happen to both HSP and WPT with all this happening.

I though HSP was being replaced by the Poker After Dark cash games? HSP was great, PAD cash is okay, a little boring.

that's one of my favorite shows, i've had many laughs and enjoyed it very much, are you sure it's going off the air? i'll be very disappointed that's for sure, maybe someone else will pick it up. there's always hope if anything. darn! darn! darn!!!

This would be very disappointing. I think it is the best poker show out there, however I have got pretty hooked on BDPS.

HSP and PAD are both produced by the same company. They are looking to have a network pick them up but at this time the only show with a contract is PAD. I am not sure of the current status of WPT except that GSN only had a one year contract for the current season and has already allowed the contract to lapse for the next year.

See my blog, GOOD NEWS for WPT fans!!! - momoney2 - Railbirds.com. WPT Season VII has been picked up by Fox Sports Network.
Now we just need Shana back!

I love hsp, its the best poker show period.

im sure they'll renew the show, its a really popular show... if not, some other network will hopefully pick it up

it would also be cool if it were on a better network than gsn, it would probably do much better, i know i didn't even watch it for a while because it was gsn, and i never check whats on gsn
