Fair enough.

And I misunderstood the report...having not seen the episode personally...I thought Lederer was the cheat. Nevermind the rantings of a crazed coffee junkie then.

In season 1, there is a poker episode that features Mike heavily and he is not portrayed as a losing player at all - he seems to be quite good.

I'm amazed that Howard Lederer guest starred in an episode about someone being able to cheat a WPT-like event. It seems like a show like this would perpetuate a negative view of poker.

Also if the hotel spent $10 million for the prize pool, they could better spend the money advertising the hotel by buying up an hour of primetime and airing an infomercial about the hotel instead of just having a poker tournament.
