These last two episodes were actually half decent. It is nice to see Marcell wiggle out of a trap with AK. It is nice to see some good poker play for a change instead of just bad beats and Farha being a calling station.

I still don't like the WSOP coverage. Show some hands!! All they do is show stupid crap like "the nuts", or some guy changing his wardrobe, or marcel singing.

And still have the time they don't show the pot size or how big the bet is to call. drives me nuts.

I was watching the full tilt tournament on Fox sports last night, it was the first poker on TV that I have enjoyed in a while. They show every hand and they have Annie Duke and Howard Lederer doing the announcing. It is much more realistic and it shows some real poker not just crazy hands, and abd outdraws.

FSN does a great job with the tournaments they air, save for that Poker Superstars Invitational 2.

Call me crazy but I quite enjoy many of "The Nuts" segments.

Erick Lindgren was hilarious at the spelling bee. Robert Williamson III, Phil Ivey, and Howard Lederer golfing was literally one of the funniest things I've ever seen on television.
