Message: [QUOTE="takethepain, post: 1703159, member: 74302"] I was a big fan of High Stakes Poker until season 7. Its just suddenly transformed into a really boring show and even the standard of poker play is not particularly great. Most of the players are just boring to watch. You are never going to get moments of tv like when Dwan and Ivey battled it out. You got a sense that this was poker at a level that us mortals would never achieve. Making a $150 000 bluff or whatever and getting called down with a pair of kings and a weak kicker because you are a billionaire calling station is not great poker. If we forget the stakes, I can see that crap every day at the micro levels. Nor are there players there like Sammy Fahar who mixed things up and were entertaining to watch. And how do the produces of this show compensate for the lack of interesting poker? They bring in the most boring commentator ever. Well done guys. Well done [/QUOTE]
