Yay, the fun HSP episodes are starting next week
By the looks of the preview, here will be the setup of the table for the next few episodes...
Seat 1: Brian Townsend Seat 2: Jamie Gold (then Sam Farha?) Seat 3: Todd Brunson Seat 4: Paul Wasicka Seat 5: Barry Greenstein Seat 6: Eli Elezera Seat 7: Jen Harman Seat 8: Erick Lindgren If my Sam Farha guess is correct, then it will be interesting to see how aba handles having him to his left. Will also be interested to see if aba 3 bets with any marginal hands PF (which is common place online, but rare and frowned upon live). Pretty interesting mix of players... two gamb00lers, with the rest of the table being solid, selectively aggressive players. Preview of the episode can be found at the end of this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tr8C2RpmI8

Seat 3: Todd Brunson
Yawn. Seat 4: Paul Wasicka Looks like he's going to just take up space like Bob Stupak. The difference is Stupak was entertaining. Seat 5: Barry Greenstein He's pretty boring. Seat 6: Eli Elezera God no. Seat 7: Jen Harman Pretty boring. Seat 8: Erick Lindgren Yawn

Harman wasn't boring when she was drunk.
I agree about Brunson, Wasicka, and Elezra being no fun. Lindgren and Barry are fine because they play excellently.

Todd Brunson is not a great player?
I find Eli entertaining when he plays atrociously loose poker and then makes jabs at good players like Antonio and Barry. "About time Antonio gets what he deserves!" "Barry is playing like tournament!"

Every other poker show on TV has plenty of bad players to watch.

Re: Yay, the fun HSP episodes are starting next week
The monster table (Ivey, Antonius, Brad Booth, sbrugby, Dags, Antonio) at the end of the season will have a lot of guys who are dry toast, yet it is likely to be the most fascinating set of poker episodes to be on TV yet. Good poker TV does not rely on colorful characters.
