The new season of High Stakes Poker has people already buzzing with how they dislike the new format that they have. Among the comments were things such as, "It just plain sucks. Bring back AJ." to "The amount of ribbing and antics at the table is really a let down. It's as though they put some sleeping pills in their drinks."

The starting lineup, usually being very talkative in the previous seasons, has been really toned down as far as amusement. With Hellmuth busting out right away, the entertainment factor on bashing him is also gone as well.

Respected poker veteran and Commerce Casino tournament director Matt Savage will be our guest on this week's DonkDown Radio!  Make sure to listen this Wednesday (2/24) at 7:30pm PST, or find it in our archives after the show.

DonkDown is about 2 months old, and I am very proud of what we (read:  LAKingsfan12) have accomplished.  We have a major update on the way, and believe it or not I've been hard at work.  In other news The LAPC has already begun, with the first event attracting over 5,800 entries to the $335 four-starting-day-with-next-day-re-entry-no-limit.  I expect the same number of entrants for the $335 Stud8 I will be playing out there in a few days.  Good work Matt Savage in putting on the 2nd biggest tourney series of the year.  Also don't forget to join us this Wed. for DD Radio as well as a $500 added Reefer Poker private MTT.  If you are feeling too smart today, watch this video of Tiffany Michelle talking to Fox News.

Teddy "Iceman" Monroe has done it again.  Recently, Icemanpokerproductions.com went DonkDown and we were worried.  Thankfully, the flat-barreling flamboyant Monroe has frozen the internet once again - Icemanpokerroom.blogspot.com is online!  Now once again Iceman can once again display his special brand of poker and style. Iceman said that he was doing this site with "his girl," and that there were videos that include "The Iceman Girls" that would be added shortly.  Stay tuned, as DonkDown.com will cover this story in it's entirety.  Hit the DD forums about the Iceman's new site.

On Feb 3rd Doyles Room will be hosting an exclusive $500 freeroll for Donkdown members. This will take place during the Cold Call show. I'll be live in studio with Micon sipping on some bourbon and joining all the degens in the action. We've also worked out a deal with Doyles Room for our weekly radio tournament, which will now become our first Donkdown League. It will be a $5 weekly buyin with $50 added to the prizepool each week. Standings will be kept and prizes will be awarded to the winners.  Follow the thread in our forum.
