Poker After Dark OR High Stakes Poker

Since both shows have great players and some great poker action I wondered what people thought was the better show?

Do you prefer watching HSP or PAD and why?

Poker after Dark has Shana Hiatt but less of an atmosphere, and when its heads up it seems to drag (Hansen v Seed was painful i feel).

High Stakes Poker has Gabe Kaplan but i feel the 3rd series is lacking something, it just doesnt seem as good.

HSP wins it but its a tough call to vote against Shana

I vote PAD for a couple of reason:
1. Less editing-- they show almost every hand, not just the ones with lots of action. Maybe you could argue that this makes it less exciting, but it is certainly closer to reality.
2. You can hear the table talk better-- less commentary covering the table chat. Again, you might argue that the table chat is boring (or non existent), but I guess verisimilitude wins out again in my opinion.
3. Shana, mmmmmmmm, Shana.

I vote both. Everytime a poker episode airs there are going to be more fish in the sea.
