AQ = mike tyson - looks strong but always gets beat

funny i guess, but when the show airs 11 months after the tournament he'd better have come up with some [censored] material - and i'm sure he shot his wad on the first show.

I just don't understand how WPT doesn't make any money - I think they are just lying about it so they don't have to give the players a cut. I even always thought that WPT put up the $25k seat for each winner... nope, it comes out of the prize pool.

I just we just have to live with it - or not watch.

I used to enjoy watching wed night on the travel channel but now it is just not fun any more. HSP is the only show I really try to watch on a consistent basis, even the reruns are good to watch. At least there is poker strategy on HSP.

Dont worry it will only get worse....The WPT shows are just terrible, especially after watching the USPC the last few months....These tournies are great til the final table then its just a joke, but a lot of the bad play is just mandatory based on the blinds (Stan's K5 call or A2 on button vs all in not included in that comment those were just horrible).

The Bellagio Five Diamond and the first Foxwoods event have good TV tables. DVR those episodes. Especially the Five Diamond - one hand with Joe Hachem is particularly memorable.

At least it was fun to see how many times David Williams got it in with the best of it..

Stan's play was really, really bad, but worst champ ever?

Two words: Danny. Nguyen.

David Williams really is a terrible poker player. He didn't get his money in good once and if you've seen him on UPC Cash Poker you know he's a bad cash game player too.

you are incorrect, but keep basing your opinions of players on a few hands they played on tv...
