I finally caught High Stakes Poker off of the Tivo tonight and I have to say that Fro is right on both counts: it is the best poker show on television and the production value is freakin' terrible. Three years ago I probably would have been pissed if I knew this was on TV and educating the WPT masses because this is absolutely how it really works, relative to made-for-TV tournaments.
Of course nowadays there aren't many WPT idiots left because they're either broke and don't play anymore or they have learned to play better and aren't idiots so this show won't make much of a difference either way. I second Fro's recommendation.
