It didn’t take long after the criticism began. The common opinion in the poker forums seems to be that High Stakes Poker is not the same show without AJ Benza. Although people liked the first episode, they found it had many flaws.

AJ Benza

Many people thinks that the friendly chatter and joking between AJ Benza and Gabe Kaplan was a big part of the whole High Stakes Poker experience. Now, when Gabe is alone in the booth, there’s something missing. People also thinks that the new host, Kara Scott, isn’t bringing anything to the show - and that her player interviews are just useless.

Also the show seemed to be quite short; only 45 minutes. We are pretty sure the earlier seasons had longer episodes.

Of course there’s lots of people who like the renewal as well. But let’s wait for few more episodes to come out and see how it goes.
