i have seen both episodes, and while it certainly isnt fantastic, it is good enough to watch.

the players are over the top, and everything has to be extreme, but in general i think it is a reasonable show. i only have two complaints really. the first is the ridiculous hands that people end up winning with. 10-6o, 43s, 64o, etc, etc. they could at least make it look like a better reflection of the game. although, this could just inspire a whole new wave of fishies to play the game that way.

my second complaint is the emphasis they give to ego in the show. eddie and clark are just over the top, and if i ever got played by a woman like miami plays the guy in the pot limit game, i would stop playing. if there are 30/60 blind pot limit games out there where some of the players cant handle getting hit on, i just hope that i can reach that level some day.

i think that the show is entertaining, but if i miss an episode i wont be too upset about it.

dont worry you wont miss a episode unless you live under a rock for a week since ESPN reruns the show about 25 times during the next week.
