I didn't watch much of the later episodes as I didn't think it very entertaining. I don't really care about the stakes, I just want to watch the worlds best players do battle and this table was all fish and one average reg (Bellande). It was frustrating to see such an amazing cash game setup wasted with this useless lineup. Sure, put one action fish in the game, put in a movie star, whatever, but the rest of the players have to be world class.
When I watch great players, I can generally assume that what they are doing has a good reason behind it, and then I can think and try to figure out what that reason might be. When bad players play, it's just "hurr durr, I feel like bruffing" "I haz pair, I no fold"
How Bellande managed to wiggle himself into this lineup is an interesting question.
