who gives a flying [censored] about trincher? maybe only the producers

[/ QUOTE ]

Do you think Daniel Negreanu wants to sit down with Ilya Trincher or a table that includes Antonius, Ivey, Townsend, etc? I suspect it's more than just the "producers" that care about guys who are good players but don't match up with the very best.

Great post, let's have the most break even game in history with no 'live ones' whatsoever!

if we were looking at stats of 600,000 hands this table played over the course of several years, that might matter. but it's just a few hours of an all-star team going crazy chaotic gamble omg sexy. and this table made for the best actual poker.

actually i'd still be interested in just seeing the stats of 600k hands this table played. almost anything concerning such a masturbation-worthy table would be awesome.

It'd be awesome if stack sizes were shown on the show.

Stack sizes will only annoy you

[/ QUOTE ]
I strongly disagree - it annoys me when I don't know (unless it is declared verbally) whether a player is betting into a guy with 35k behind or 350k behind. This makes a huge difference IMO. This is vital info for making/evaluating poker decisions.

Aside - also when someone with 1M pushes all in over a guy with 20k behind in a pot that has 30k in it - please don't tell me he took down a pot for 1M + 30k .

1) show all the hole cards preflop, using onscreen graphics like PokerDome or Fox Sports's live broadcasts.

2) Show profit/loss. British and Australian high stakes televised cash games did, so don't say it can't be done.

3) Yeah, stack sizes would be good too. At least occasionally, or where they are relevant to a hand. William Hill II, in Europe, showed them during hands.

Kaplan and Benza do great work for the crowd they're trying to attract to the show. If anyone is actually sick of the jokes they do, you're getting leveled hard.

AJ Benza is possibly the smartest man alive.

Bravo AJ, bravo.

I actually enjoyed the donks, why get rid of them?

Ramdin and Gold, mixed with some good players makes the game alot more enjoyable. Good personalities and people that like to really gambool it up make the show more exciting.

I wouldn't mind the show being 2 hours a week, that I would certainly go for.

[Rottersod]

1. Make every show 2 hours (keep the number of shows the same).

2. Keep the tables the same for longer periods unless someone busts out or wants to leave. This last table was great but we really needed to see it for 5 weeks or so to get the best entertainment value.

3. Ask the players to buy in for more than 100k.

4. Increase the blinds to $500/$1000

5. Show the cards that the players are folding. Don't use the FSN style graphics where every hand is on the screen. Ugh! Just flash us their cards as they are folding.

6. I can't remember if they do this already but if they don't then add pot size to the graphics.

7. Focus more on putting together entertaining tables and don't over do the excellent but silent players like Daniel Allai (sp?). Sure he's good but he has no entertainment value. Putting him on a table with 2 or 3 other like him is deadly for TV.

8. Disallow running it twice or taking money back. I know that this is normal in high stakes but this game is meant for TV entertainment. They got rid of the props because they were interfering with the game. Running a huge pot twice and getting a draw is awful for those watching.

I think this in itself speaks to how valuable your feedback for the show is.

Like I'm supposed to remember every detail of every poker show? Unlike you I actually have a life.

playing w/ 100BB is weak. I doubt many ppl wanna buy in with more than 100k. Structure is fine as is IMO
