Not massive amounts of excitement - just got it on in the background.

I dont find that all kinds of poker makes great TV. I aint seen the one everyones referring to but it sounds pretty boring.

The Matchroom tournaments (The Poker Million & The 888.com UK Open) I find to be quite repetitive, predictable and some of the play in them is shocking from the online qualifiers/amateurs. The nature of the structure, and how it's designed for TV, makes it all seem a bit too manufactured. I'd much rather watch a WSOP final table on PokerTube than a 6 handed all-in fest.

However, High Stakes Poker is the benchmark format for me. They've got two great commentators in AJ Benza and Gabe Kaplan, and the players deliver some quality banter.

agreed on both counts..HSP does set the standard others have to try to meet.

Kaplans actually a very knoweldgeable player too. I was watching some of the footage from the 2007 H.O.R.S.E tournament. He was sat next to Freddy Deeb for most of it. They go back a long way and the banter was flowing. Freddy actually bust him out with quad 6's in 7 Stud too!

Benza - There's Negreaneu with a pair of suited connectors
Kaplan - That's good AJ, you're learning... But what do you call Sammys ace five of spades?
Benza - I dont know, ya got me there
Kaplan - Suited UN-connectors!

Kaplan and Benza >>>> Jones + guy with weird accent
