Probably a bit harsh... lineup looks ok, obviously an OTB_Rb in there would have been cool but considering most are europe based, quite a few of them relatively unknown personally and totally unknown to the wider world. Some of them can be quite boring too... although would be better to see in 6max.

I'd like to see some needle in there, Polk and Dnegs, Matasow Dnegs, etc

I'm excited, i'll give it a chance.

Pretty much this except the fixed part

I can understand not wanting online hermits but how hard can it be to get a few fresh faces?

otb_redgraph needs to get in there just to see the old live donks react to 4x pot bets.

*The show's not even started yet
*They got ****ing Tom Dwan for the first episode
*Probably the biggest non-pokerstars effort to make solid cash game content in like, 6 years?

And people are already complaining that the show sucks because the 1st week's line up doesn't contain the mix of players they approve of...
Why don't we wait until we have seen the actual show and have seen a couple different line ups before saying it's terrible?

Doug Polk
Viktor Blom
Ivey

I agree with those saying this isn't an ideal lineup, but I wasn't expecting much.

Tom Dwan being on the first episode is amazing!

I wonder if Tom is going to address the elephant in the room and talk about what he's been up to.

Jean-Robert Bellande you mean ?

But how much will he lose?

i see now how you got your post count.

I think the lineup is going to be good actually.

Should be a fair bit of action.

The way HSNL plays on stars today is far more entertaining than anything the current PAD lineup has produced

and oh lord it would be good for poker considering their (the top stars guys) plays actually look really donkish a lot of the time

Nah, thats not how complaining works around here.

True 2+2 complaining takes place before, during and after an event.

All I want is evidence that it is actually being filmed at night time and I will be happy.

Well, it's a live stream, so...

I agree, however you've got the wider audience to consider too, I'd really enjoy watching OTB, Trueteller etc smash 5bets and 3x pot turn bets at each for 6 hours and I know you'd like that too.

There is still a huge % of the population though he want to see Negranu make a soul read on someone and Esfandiari go "weeeeeeeeee" randomly.

You're right what you're saying that an addition of one of the current online top tier would have made for some nice balance to the table...perhaps the production is not sure who they are, perhaps they didn't wanna come, or perhaps the amateur players didn't want them? Who knows... I'll give it the beneft of the doubt for now.

I think Lauren Roberts and Bill Klein will be pretty entertaining, the pair of them have played a lot of high stakes and not afraid to move chips about.

FYI - there's a $200k buyin in a couple of week also!

Do we think that the online crushers want their hole cards to be public knowledge, orbit after orbit? Those guys face each other often enough for sure. But I would want my strategy to be only known by those who are paying money to play at my table, and not the entirety of 2P2....

Arty has some of the best strat posts I've ever read on these forums. This not sarcasm nor any type of level.

They went with a real safe lineup to start but they got Dwan so I expect people will overlook it.

But hopefully we do get guys like Polk, Siever, Ivey, soon.

But I think people will just be happy to get new poker content, really.

But please, no stupid sammy farha ugh

A scoffer of the Farha?!?
