Huck has played well (and gotten a lot of cards).
But he did have a couple tells that I caught.
I think Gus is the best player at the table with Huck second.
Z is weak.
Annie is ok
Shiek is just funny kinda mix of weak and aggressive sometimes.

What happened to Gus? The super weak HU play between him and H. Seed was horrible. How many times do you check down the best hand to have someone who 95% would have folded on the flop/turn to ANY bet, only to see them hit the river for free? Seems like they both missed the gear change phase.

EDIT: Ok, I'm watching the last 20 minutes of Friday's episode now and Gus is FINALLY playing poker.

I think Gus knew he was up against some tight players, so played extra tight until heads up.

So after catching up on week 1 and seeing everything heres some comments

- As far as the play goes, Im not really impressed... in fact I think some of it was awful (Huck Seed calling a turn bet with Jack high then checking behind on a river bet...calling not intending to steal?, Steve Z's entire play throughout to name a few)

- As far as the show goes, its not really how I imagined it would be... its nice seeing a lot of the hands, but some of them are really boring. I thought there would be more thought process comments (to Shana) and I was really dissapointed in the directors cut, which was jus basically reshowing some of the highlights from the week -- i thought it would include much more anaylsis of key hands from the players

Overall the 3rd episode (hellmuth blow up) was entertaining, but as for the rest, not that impressed

Phil has to be acting and playing up to the camera in most of these blowups and it was only funny for a few seconds.
