Some strengths, e.g. people have pointed out that it's the early stages of a real tournament, so not an all-in fest. But also the usual ESPN weaknesses:
- The Chad
- Flitting (what I call ESPN's tendency to flit about the room covering various hands, even without hole card cams). Radical idea: try covering one table well instead of several badly.
- Not much focus on poker. It's short-attention-span theatre, by people not interested in poker, for people not interested in poker. E.g. they don't show folded hole cards. They may not even stop talking long enough to mention whether a player called or raised, or the amount. And what are the blinds? Radical idea: talk about the poker that's taking place, or show the info on the screen.

Honestly- everything you suggest is exactly what I don't want to see. Serious poker coverage is boring. People talking and having fun and busting on eachother is what I really enjoyed about this.

I think this had so much more mass appeal than super intense coverage and analysis.
