Default Re: HSP Season II Wrap Up

What I would like to see on HSP season 3:

- More Gus Hansen! (his appearance on season 2 was much too brief)

- Microphone on Gus the next time he picks up on a cocktail waitress. If we can see the hole cards we should be able to hear the pick-up lines.

- No prop bets, it was interesting for a while but it eventually bogged the game down.

- New rule: there must be at least donkey per episode. The last few episodes were relatively boring in large part because of no one of the likes of Hellmuth, Matusow, the Shiek, or Zeidman.

- At least one episode without Daniel. Like him but we've had too much of a good thing.

All in all, though, still the best poker on TV by a mile.

Finally, cut out the props. They do nothing for the TV audience and distract Gabe Kaplan from the game.

Didn't see enough of Juanda. Wish he had come on earlier in the season and the producers showed more of his play.

Saw way too much of David Grey. He's worthless.

First thing they have to change is to make it available on my cable ! I hate this show for the reason that I can't see it, and it sounds pretty cool

Big thing for me was I used to think Daniel was a good player, but I thought he played absolutely terrible in HSP season 2.

My cable company dropped GSN from the regular cable line-up a few weeks ago, so I'm now paying $30 more a month for digital cable just so I can see HSP. It's that good.

Changes I'd like to see:

- No more props. I wouldn't mind if you could follow along with the prop bets, but constantly hearing the players talk about them when you have no idea who has what is pretty lame.

- Control Gabe Kaplan. He really started getting on my nerves. It seemed like every time a player was telling a story you could barely hear it because Gabe was talking over them. And enough about David Grey already, one impression was plenty.

Speaking of David Grey, I can't imagine him coming back for next season after being ripped apart by Gabe Kaplan so much.
