This really blows! But I think you could kinda see it coming. Just think about aba who played well but hardly talked and *surprise* didn't get invited for this season.
The next great player to get on HSP should definately prepare to make sure he's TV material:
1. Tell people who talk bad about your game how you've made 4 times what they have made in the last few months or challenge them to HU matches and mean it. Don't be "Wanna play HU?" and then let it go but keep talking about how you really want to play for a lot of money to show everybody who's the daddy here.
2. Tell anekdotes! You can actually prepare those and then tell them wen they fit or don't fit. Any stupid story about "I was busto and came back withing 2 days" wil do. Doesn't have to be 100% true. You could for example tell about Grimstarr getting his 130K stolen. These stories are very entertaining for the TV audience.
3. Be willing to give away some EV for TV purposes. For example if you know on the river you have the best hand make a bet and while the other guy goes in the tank tell him he can fold and for $5k you'll show him your cards. Or you could reveal some of your reads. Go "I know you have a busted flushdraw, don't even try to bluff" or after 2 guys folded (as Jman explained in the OP) "You had middle pair and you had a gutshot". It doesn't even have to be right and it's still good TV.
Obviously do all this without being an ass. Do it in a I'm-your-buddy-style and smile and laugh while you do it. Then get rich and give me money!
