Time to Give Poker Superstars 2 Another Chance?
With the fast-paced/large blinds early matches completed, it may be worth checking out Poker Superstars II on Sunday night when the "playoffs" start.
From what I gathered, there will be four players per table/episode rather than six. That alone will ensure marginally better action. |

I may be in the minority, but i actually like Poker Superstars II. The format seems pretty close to that of a STT

Re: Time to Give Poker Superstars 2 Another Chance?
Sexton wrote that due to the structure of this stage of the tournament, there were major play issues. Mainly, you had to get people to lose matches in a particular order to advance, sometimes requiring you to fold the nuts. Since there were a small number of matches, many people ended up not playing good poker, but trying to make the players in a tournament go out in a particular order. Mike mentoins the issue and suggest a solution in this article.
I'm not really clear why 4 handed play would be so much better than 6 handed play. What are you hoping to see here? |

Re: Time to Give Poker Superstars 2 Another Chance?
I heard from some of the guys who put the show together that it does get quite a bit better from here in...now that's coming from people with an agenda, but none-the-less, I'll be checking it out in hopes that they're telling the truth.

the people i know aren't the fox people - and that's who'd make that decision.
i know mori, who works with henry - the guys who put it together along with the heads up championship, etc...i could ask him, but we'll know by tonight whether or not that's the case. by the way - i hope that's correct, that would be MUCH better. |

Todd Brunson told me in person that it gets much better. I told him I enjoyed watching him play in it just before the main event got going.

Re: Time to Give Poker Superstars 2 Another Chance?
At that point, they're not playing good poker because they're not playing poker. I don't have a problem with that, but if you want to see good poker it could be an issue for you just like it was for Mike Sexton. If you're supposed to fold the nuts in order to progress, I have to confess, I'm not a huge fan.
