I think I'm tilted for the rest of the week after watching that show.

That's just the problem. A serious player and a casual player have differing opinions about what a "weaker" hand is. It seems like a lot of ESPN's WSOP coverage is just reduced to a lot of preflop coolers. AA vs. KK and AK vs. JJ are not interesting hands to watch to the average 2+2 player, yet that's what seems to get Joe Sixpack tuned in.

Pros probably just screw around at the first level. 2nd level they put some thought into it, 3rd level they crush em. Better for tv if they let em get close.

Am I the only one who's always a little confused by this expression? I'm not a beer drinker so the first thing I try to imagine every time is a TV-watching American with killer abs and it's like no..
