I thought it was ok, the poker itself was quite entertaining. Just miss Gabe (with a straight man), he was hilarious.

It is a bit like Soccer am when Lovejoy left, it is still watchable just not quite the same.

Just watched it now and it was better than I expected. Think what they need is Hellmuth in there so that everyone can give him rubs until he asplodes!


Makes it uncomfortable for the pros having those sick rich guys in the game as they'll never run it twice which is com

Some of the play was so lolbad that it was fun to watch. But the overall setup just didn't really have the same HSP feeling. I didn't think the last couple of seasons did either - I thought the were a bit too pro heavy and all the durrr respect spoilt it a little as there wasn't as much gambling going on as people were scared to play him. I guess we've got that back a little now with the ridic rich businessmen and their overbets. But the lack of Kaplan ruins it for me.

Kaplan was shit on his own. Worst decision they made was getting rid of AJ and bringing in Kara who adds nothing to the show

Wasn't as good as Kaplan+Benza but he was much better than the new guy!

I like kara scott but she's not needed here.

Dumping aj was a mistake. His chemistry with gabe was spot on

Give him a chance- he doesnt seem too bad- I found Kaplan on his own more annoying

Gabe used to tilt me so much with his "raise for info" kind of comments.

Reynolds/Hartigan(sp) would be best for me, but a guy like Norm MCdonald who just commentates and doesnt give opinion and lots of short strat interviews w/Kara seems fine to me.

What?  All episode he talked about "raising to ask the question" and tried to predict what the players would do, getting it wrong around half the time.

Yeah I mean if all he was commentate rather than critique I think it would work well so I could enjoy it more.

The qq hand was tez

What about Doyle's hand? Couldn't really decide what to make of that.

The  raise from the cut off?  Pretty standard I thought.

Really enjoyed the show, don't hate the commentator but could do without the cut away interviews.  Great idea to replace the FTers with the mega rich old guys instead of going down a rung for the next level of pro players.  You're going to see bad play but you want to see some bad play, it's damn entertaining.
