I like seeing the hole cards, b/c I know what strategy is being employed by the players. I like knowing if he's trying to steal the blinds from the button or if he's slow-playing pocket K's. The older footage is cool, too, but it's frustrating for me b/c I'm in the dark as much as the player who just folded.

btw, I like that Daniel Negreanu guy,
He's one of my favorites. He's funny and he's pretty honest for a poker player. I loved it when he told another player "I knew you were going to do that. But I have no idea what I should do". I know he does it to see the other guy's reaction, but I think he's funny. Plus his mom packs his lunch every day.
