Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
Agreed that Jman made for pretty boring TV. IMO the players who make the best TV are either the ones I'm interested in watching play because they're really good and have some table presence (Ivey, Greenstein, Antonius, Townsend) or the guys with personality and generally decent poker skills (Negreanu, Laak, Esfandiari, Matusow). I'm not interested in seeing ultra quiet guys (Adams, Galfond), guys with personality problems (Hellmuth, Gold) or complete donkeys (Farha, Safai, etc etc etc). I can forgive Matusow for being a donkey because at least he's fun to watch, and doesn't sit there and drivel about how he would have flopped a full if only he'd played his 93o.
