theyve greatly improved from last season regarding the announcers blabbing during the hands and focusing more on what the players are saying...good for that.

speaking of the announcers, gabe is awesome, but AJ benza is a complete moron. from his stupid comments to that same tan suit from 1990 that he wears on EVERY episode this season, i just cant stand him!!!!!!! get rid of him!!!!!!!

they should also have more episodes; theres only 5 more episodes left this season. maybe they should have 2 tapings per year...theres obviously ridiculous demand for this show...just look at the 50+ pages on 2p2 after each episode.

would LOOOOOOVE to see a post-match commentary from the players themselves. would love to have known what sammy was thinking for checking the river with AA. or what the other players thought of that or any other eventful hand played during the episode.

5k-10k limit would be fun to watch

Note: regardless of stakes limit is not fun to watch.

PLO wouldn't work. It would be AI every hand with alot of hands being chopped

That wouldn't be an issue as long as the players are deep-stacked. In fact, the blinds should be lowered to 200/400 (no ante), since PLO pots tend to be bigger than NLHE at the same stakes.

With deep stacks and the pot-limit restriction, there should be plenty of room for play.

PLO is a naturally exciting game, and there won't be a need for bounties or terrible players to keep the game action-packed.

The only impediment is this: Will the audience be overwhelmed by the number of cards?

3 6 1200 PLO would be sick. I'd also like to see 4 or 5 episodes of a Big Mixed Game like they play at the Belagio. Maybe jack it up to 6/12k with a 150k cap.

Make the game 6max, with no ante.

Make them play PLO but show in TV only the two cards that play in a certain hand, if the hand goes to showdown. If the hand doesn't go to showdown, show two random cards from players' hand. Should be fun.

That's was really funny.

I hope to God some ignorant TV producer isn't in charge of deciding what cards are "in play."

If you have a good PLO hand, all four of your cards will be "in play," meaning relevant to the play of the hand.

Example:

Flop 6H 7H As
Hand 5c 8s 9H QH

Thus, you have a "wrap" straight draw + flush draw. If you take out one of the cards, you'll lose either the "wrap" or the flush draw, or both.

So making the cards easier to comprehend would have to involve something other than omitting cards. Maybe they can use highlights to indicate made hands and other effects to indicate draws or redraws.

In any case, they gotta show all the cards.
Imagine if they were playing 2-7 draw but the TV only showed three cards!

I would like to see High Stakes HU matches. Where you see all hands not just the interesting ones.
