Poker Superstars III (4/2): actually interesting

I hate how Howard and Chris pretend like it isn't a coin flipping contest and explain how everyone is making strategic raises.

I would rather see deepstack play too, but I do think some of the players understand turbo SNG's better than others, so it's not JUST luck.

The players are laughing so much near the end because they know that there is absolutely no skill involved -- its not even poker. Silly, silly format. What an incredible waste of collective talent.

I couldn't believe that they had both Lederer and Annie Duke doing color commentary. Um, I guess that'll help ratings some, but its such a waste to have them there, as there's basically nothing to analyze. Even Howard on his own, it's kind of a waste of his talents on this show. There's nothing for him to really say that couldn't be explained by Michael Konij just as well, and Lederer doesn't bring much charisma or humor to the proceedings.

I disagree with that. Konik wanted people to lay down hands all the time, even when they were getting a pretty good price. He appeared to have some holes in his game.
