It's pretty middle of the road as far as poker shows are concerned. They have top level players, so the poker itself is high quality. However, the incessant bickering between the pro-male guy and the pro-female woman really gets annoying. Then again, it's nice to get some vindication knowing that the top guys beat the top ladies.

Ive watched all of these events and the men just dominated. I think the women especially carina jett, are more concerned with looking good on camera than looking good as a poker player. Lets face it the women pros are not even in the same league as the men. Hell, I believe if I had a large bankroll like alot of these women do I could call myself a professional as well. I'm not a male shovenist, but scientists have proven that men are superior in mathematics and analytical interpretation which are both qualities of successful poker players and then throw in the intimidation factor and you have male dominance in the poker arena. At least they bring the entertainment value up on this show.

Default Okay

last night i was laughing histerically when gazes and Kathy leiber and Karina Jett

were going at it. Its not a bad show, i like the regular one instead of battle of

the sexes. Its better competition i think.

I've noticed that the two WSOP champs, Raymer and Moneymaker, haven't done so hot. Undoubtedly they're good players, good enough to hack through all the players in the main event and win the tournament. However, they seem to strike me as one-hit-wonders. None of their play ever seems that exceptional.

i was feeling the same way, but i havent seen him play as much as i should before i make an opion. altough from what i can tell on the battle of the sexes is that he was always geting knocked out very early on. i notice some very bad moves on his part which have made me wonder how he won the wsop. although my opion is bleek and not very backed up because i dont know him as well just form the 3 or so times i saw him play.

I like the poker aspect of the show a lot. With that said however, that Kennedy girl and Tom Lykus need to go away. Their banter is childish and irritating. I also wonder if the guys realize how stupid they look just because their women counterparts are showing cleavage. I mean seriously, start acting like grown men instead of prepubescent teen agers.
