As someone who has sold scripts and written for TV, I can honestly say I'm enjoying this show. It's well-written, well-acted, extremely well-shot....yes, at times there's an over-the-top moment - but HEY, IT'S TV!
It's a melodrama, people. A soap opera. Not a documentary.

I agree with you that the accuracy of the poker scenes don't matter, and yes it's well acted and well shot. But I think it's horribly written. Much of the plot and scenes simply make no sense and the characters are entirely unrealistic. Not because of their poker skills, mind you, but because their words and actions don't match up.
There are some good lines, but they are usually so memorable because of how ridiculous they are.
