The only reason you find this poker show boring is because it isnt edited to show all the crazy hands. Its straight up REAL poker which involves everyone folding to the blinds. A real poker player would be entertained by watching how the greatest in the world ACTUALLY play from hand to hand. This show is awesome, because its the most realistic poker show on tv.

His theatrics, complaining and ego are getting a little old. Other than that the show has been quite good. I still think some more colorful commentary couldn't hurt for entertainment purposes, but overall the show is quite interesting. Oh and by the way... if Shana wants to bend over for the camera more often, who am I to stop her? Thanks for the comments though. :) Hugo - As you can see from my comment above I mentioned my main problem with the first show was Phil Hellmuth.

Not enough jumping and running, slowmo camera work or music for you, eh? Or perhaps Shana needs to bend over for the camera every once in awhile. Yeah, jazz it up for people not interested in poker.

I really do like it! I think the problem for me was Phil Hellmuth. Typically we just see a short edited clip of his ranting, but in this show we have to deal with a full hour of it and again the guy really has psychological problems. Plus for some reason now days I just can't stand watching Annie Duke. I think her head has gotten a little big lately. Once the show got into the second week it was much more entertaining to watch. I really enjoyed the commentator's week which just ended. I wish Norman Chad would have played, but it was still entertaining, especially with all the stories about Stu Ungar and others. By the way... I used to play quite a bit and sitting through those sessions were sometimes boring enough, so sitting though someone else's session typcially wouldn't appeal to me, but I will admit the show has grown on me.

HSP is a ring game and it's played differently from a sng game like this. It's not edited so much to only show interesting hands, which I like. I can understand if people who don't like poker don't like it though. For all they know, someone always has pocket pairs and AK's like in the WSOP broadcasts. It’s really hit or miss, but I like it.

I have been recording this program AND IT IS LIKE WATCHING PAINT DRY!! It is literally the worst poker show I have ever seen on television. It is champions week. I think it is the lack of color commentary. Johnny chan commented there should be music in the backround (personally, I think it would be more interesting if they had ANYTHING in the background). Plus the set is dark and dreary. The poker players look and sound like dead glassy eyed zombies!! Moneymaker takes himself too seriiously. Jamie Gold at least had a hint of a personality though I thought his eye make-up was kind of, well, remember that song about so and so are you gay? I agree.
