The 7th season of High Stakes Poker will be demonstrated on GSN beginning this month, but sadly there have been some adjustments and not many of them are excellent. The show will have a new sponsor as Gabe Kaplan who was on the 1st six seasons is gone. He’s being replaced by former Saturday Night Live cast member Norm MacDonald. Kara Scott will still be on the show as a co-host.

The problem with pocket 7s, 8s and 9s is that they are so susceptible to overpairs.
