Thanks

just for correctnes he didnt push him blind everytime. I believe the hype was because he won something like 18 hands in a row!

This is great viewing. It also highlights why Hansen is such successful and IMO good player. He was quite willing to do something completely unconventional but it actually had real strategy behind it because of the situation.

i loved this. he completely highlighted how pokersuperstars heats were complete crapshoots so it hardly mattered if he pushed every hand or played a near perfect game.

Spot on, The players might be pokersuperstars but the poker is far from riveting, whoever decided to make the great and the good sit down and basically shove or fold every hand in what amounts to little more than a six seater turbo wants a serious talking too. |

It's a qualification leg, seems like a good idea to show the differing skill sets in poker to me. VOC. |

Thats the one! Thanks for the link!  Had only seen a small highlight package on the episode of the next round with Hansen recapping how he got there and showing him go in everyhand. Entertaining even if its just for the Helmuth blowup. |

Wow. Poker Superstars - the event where the players start with 15 big blinds.

The worst part of it is the whole structure and rules were set by barry greenstein, not the production. But as flushy said they are qualifiers, when they get to the quarter finals and super 16, the structure is much better for creative play!

As a sng player i always find it quite amusing how badly some of the "superstars" play shortstacked poker, but it doesn't make for great tv IMO.
