Re: HSP: Why do you watch?
I'm pretty sure they don't feel like frauds. I don't believe they set out to film an instructional video series. They wanted to film an entertaining show that would garner the highest ratings it could muster.
As much as I love poker I have no desire to watch a quiet game full of serious poker players. I enjoy seeing the Matusow and Hellmuth blowups, and seeing Sammy and Eli play these stakes like they are playing 1/2 instead of 300/600.
Everyone has their own opinion but I like the way it is. I agree with the others that getting rid of prop bets was great and getting rid of insurance would be great too. [ QUOTE ]
Well I'm trying to get into the producers heads here...why do they put these players on TV? I thought it was to show the best poker players in the world in action throwing around tons of money? Doesn't it make the producers look like frauds when they witness the poker played so far this season?
