Decent first show... but seeing a high percentage of the hands can get boring when nothing much is happening...I think the shows later in the week are going to be the more interesting ones (higher blinds and looser play) and the ones in the beginning of the week may be questionable...
Its nice to hear the players talk but annoying when they are all talking at once and you cant hear anyone...
Other random notes
The older guy that I don't know seems pretty shitty. Very straight forward tight style and makes rookie mistakes (i.e Huck Seed seeing him want to bet the pot with KJ on the J high board).
Huck Seed gave a huge tell when he flopped a King high straight with his face on the flop when he checked behind. Thats two very rookie tells given off by two different players in this first episode.... interesting.
Wow Helmuth tilts easily
Huck Seed folding KQ the first hand in the BB I disagree with
Good river check back by Helmuth when he missed his flush (although I would have prefered to raise either the flop or turn, or fold the turn). Duke would have called easily.
Dunno if I like Helmuths River Bet with three Aces on the spaded board though. I would have checked to enduce a bluff (or for protection against a flush/boat/bigger ace [although unlikely] )
