I do agree, like I said I love norm but I was really surprised they brought him on alone - seems like s personality that required a counterpart.

It would probably be great.with norm having another person in the booth.but all the comedy might take away from the action at the table.

Think I read somewhere, Gabe and Benza just gave too many viewers, so the network couldn't handle it. Instead they decided to make poker and random boring pots the forefront of the show.

I cant beleive season 7 is already over and done,i'll be honest,it wasnt the greatest season, it also wasnt the worst.maybe top 3.

It seemed like it just started,now its over,I have to give phil laak some credit,he made some good laydowns.I think everyone on this line-up played flawless.rolex was holding his own,but i think he got reckless.

I for one hope there is a season 8,i was playing a few days ago, a guy told me there is going to be a season 8,with new sponsers.new group of players,and it should be good.but im not sure how good of a source he was,because 10 minutes earlier he was tellin me,he's new to the whole poker thing.lol...so who knows
