LongLiveYorke 38 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I found it very refreshing that all the players were so dresseed up. It removed some of the silliness that can often be associated with poker (especially as presented by the ESPN) and made it seem more akin to the James Bond, high roller style of gambling that is much more aesthetically appealing. Although I haven't decided how I feel about those rectangular chip things yet.I also fine it much, much more interesting when they show every hand instead of all-in fests as the do on other shows. I wish the blind structure had been a bit slower so we could see some real playing by these top pros (yes, I understand that they had to fit the entire show into four hours, but I don't think I'm the only one who can watch this stuff for countless hours on end).

AceJackOffS 0 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I thought it was one of the best poker shows ever broadcasted. Devilfish raising everyhand and people folding hands like KQ, JQ, A8, 33, etc. There was a lot to learn for bad players who think these kinds of hands are golden.also a great but polite Hellmuth blowupa gus suckoutgood needlingand an Ivey winoverall a great broadcast Link to post Share on other sites
