The famous writer of ESPN Gary Wise taking occasion by the very high ratings of the season of High Stakes Poker comments welcomed the changes introduced in the popular show and submit their own view on how to create a television program focusing on the magical world of poker …

“It seems to me the World Series of Poker is undoubtedly the best poker show on the television (you have seen that got Emmy Award nomination for best sports program?) but if you are looking for a real poker … unadulterated show today then very likely to be discovered only in High Stakes Poker. No other show does not make the receiver the biggest names in the game, playing hold ‘em authentically and with more money than any other buy-in tournament. A game that actually distinguishes the ‘men’ from the ‘boys’ …

After the first five seasons of HSP, the makers of the show announced a fundamental change in the structure of the show. Upon entering the last season and while the duo Gkeimp Kaplan and AJ Benza was the seal of the show … it was decided the dismissal of one of the commentators. The start of the sixth season we found the Kaplan alone in commenting on the game, with Kara Scott simply a framework for taking the interviews of the players.

As is natural in such cases the status quo of the popular show was disrupted and no complaints have been slow to emerge. Enthusiasts viewers of the show for years complained about the removal of Benza and felt that the show was … poorer without comments, A change that has tried to diversify its previous method of commentary that often focused on anything other than what was happening at the tables. With six episodes now and the ratings through the roof rather … grumpy friends of the show I think it is time to revise their opinion.

What we see now the show is more active players who previously lacked greatly. We have certainly seen the biggest hands in the history of the HSP, but a rule by Phil Aivy Tom Duan and confirming the corresponding results and the accompanying position among the best in the world.

We follow also the two famous players involved with a way we had not used before, the Durrrr to place a prop bet of $ 1 million in Aivy arguing that Aivy could not live as a vegetarian … for one year. A prop bet that the Aivy has already lost.

Benza The removal of the comment and the inclusion of Scott finally demonstrated a highly successful move. The … Kara Scott’s qualifications and knowledge of the game to give an option to players who seem more willing than ever to give it the time needed for a personal interview (really, who can blame them seeing the beautiful player) .

The end result is a more normalized development of the show, more focus on discussions of the players at the table and therefore a better sense of the dynamics of the table for the viewer. Therefore, the monitoring of the show is much more interesting for the viewer.

These changes were introduced to show the HSP may therefore need to be a good lesson to all television producers who want to deal with similar poker show, ie to remain focused on action-in itself-the game. The WSOP nevertheless shows divide working in television both in the time histories of players and the gaming action with many viewers to think a bit … annoying comments from Norman Chad.

It seems that the friends everywhere poker show a clear preference for action games, an event like the WSOP, which is in many important (and justifiably) the world has with a discreet reference to the stories of players not to lose its direction … of.

The HSP seems to focus on hands played and that is that he has bear similar results, and makes perfect. The removal of Benza So … the equation has for this purpose resulting in obvious improvement of the show, so perhaps a similar move should make policy makers and the WSOP.
