Default Re: annie duke\'s janet jackson/ tara reid moment

I watched most of it up until Negreanu busted, then I sorta trailed off. Came back for the final few hands.

I gotta say it was not that entertaining. Watching people steal the blinds has no entertainment value. Sure, this is what actually goes on most of the time in tournaments, but it doesn't make for interesting TV. 4 hours is also too long. After watching (most of) it, I don't mind WPT's rampant editing so much anymore!

I like the idea of live poker, but in its current format I just don't see it working. They need to find a way to focus on the action, which is mainly hands played to the river. They need to distract viewers from the blind stealing aspect of tournament poker, because it's really just boring.
