I suppose we just disagree on what we want from the competition. I like seeing the top stars on top of their game winning with bold plays at the big tournaments. I want to see Johnny Chan, Doyle Brunson, and Phil Ivey every week, not some guy who once had a bit role on ER show up for his two minutes of poker glory. Now Kaplan is the real deal. I've seen him play several times and respect his game. I also think he was great broadcasting the Head's Up tourney and would like to hear more from him in that role. But frankly, the thought of Ben Affleck infecting the world class poker world (as though his acting weren't bad enough) is kind of nauseating to me. If you like seeing guys like him do well then more power to you. I don't need Hollywood star power to be entertained though. I'd just prefer to see the pros go head to head and learn from them, which is why I really like the special invitationals that Fox does.
