Silver Level
IMO, we cannot learn very much from watching the top NLHE players on tv.
We are shown action hands only.
1 - Bad beats.
2 - Bluffs that work.
3 - Bluffs that don't work.
4 - Pro's on tilt.
5 - Hands where two players hit good flops.
6 - The final hand.
Only number five is of any educational value.
I would like to see a whole six man tournament, from the start to the final hand.
Many a time, I see the chip stack sizes after an hour or so (viewing time), they annonce - third blind level has just begun and some guy is in the lead, but we havn't seen him play a single hand! To fully understand any plays from this point on, we need to know how the guy is in the lead.
1 - Winning PF.
2 - Continuation betting.
3 - Check raising.
Numerous other reasons, but how ever he got there it was cnsidered to tedious to show on tv.
