Running a huge pot twice and getting a draw is awful for those watching.

No it's not. Most of us want to see good poker, not merely huge pots and swings. Besides, the shared relief after a chop contains its own drama, if not as much excitement. And the times when a 22% underdog ends up scooping (hasn't happened on the show yet, but it does happen) are extra thrilling and brutal. Plus, it's interesting to see which players like to run it multiple times and which don't.

Wrong, it sucks.

1) Focus on action players, either aggressive pros or fish with money to burn. I agree that you need some non-pros as long as they play loose like Ed on Live at the Bike. Get rid of the nits with zero entertainment value, i.e. Cory Zeidman, Dan Shak, Dan Harmetz, Amnon Filipi, etc.

The following pros are a must: Forrest, Antonius, Hansen, of course Brunson, Booth, Greenstein, Farha, Matusow, Esfandiari. Harmon is not interesting at all. Replace her with a hot Asian chick or any non-nit female.

2) Start a spin-off called "Low Stakes Poker" with 1-2 action from Luxor or Treasure Island. People want action, give them action.

Tight players should not be invited back, players like Laak and Antonio make the show. DN is needed.

Jerry Buss would be a great guy to have. (...) I want true millionaires who play cards sometimes.

Those guys could loose 100K and never know it was gone. Plus the pro's would love to play at thier table.

Yeah Guys like Jerry Buss and Bob Stupak really loosened things up nicely when they appeared. Rich does not necessarily equal loose play.

entertaining, loose playing amateurs are needed.

I cheer for PLO.. O8 would be much better but I don`t think that would happen.

It would be fun to watch some Omaha hands with those stakes..

Would love to see Josh Schlein get a crack at the HSP veterans. It was great entertainment watching his chummy/spastic persona against Freddy Deeb in Aruba - if he could keep that up against Doyle I think he could hold his own and we'd be in for a treat. Jamie Gold was boring because he was too respectful compared with his loud (and effective) play in the World Series. More personality!

where it says the size of bet, put stack size. put size of bet in same box as pot size directly under it. if u need win/loss when they show stack sizes, u r a moran. also, y does evry1 care if a nit plays? its not like u have to sit and watch him not play, the camera moves. I think its interesting 2 c how ivey or antonius treats ferguson v. elezra
