Amazing...they show Poker matches on American TV?

All I can imagine in my head is a bunch of Mobsters with a table covered in cigarette butts and whiskey glasses...

I get it here too

It's pretty interesting to watch... specially when the show Razz, that's a crazy game...

Scotty Nguyen pulled one of the most classic bluffs on this poor spineless sap last year. flat out told this guy he can't afford to make the call, making the dude fold his winning hand on the river by the power of trash-talk. then rubs it in by showing everyone his 8-3 bluff that didn't pair anything...and tries to joke it off as if he thought he was playing blackjack.

"that's no limit baby!"

I'm all about Jesus or Ming the Master :wink:

Ming is a trip, he calls himself "Ming the Master" at least 100 times everytime he plays.

Poker is the pet rock of the sports world.

Word - if there's a 2006 WPT, I'll be surprised.

I love playing, but watching it is comparable to watching people play Monopoly - fun for about 45 minutes but after 4 or 5 episodes I'm a little bored. I'll be glad to see it go just so they'll get rid of that stupid message bar at the bottom of ESPN. "We've only got 16:52:39 till the next epsiode of WTP, shit I better call out of work!"

just because they have shown this on tv with lots of publicity, do you know how much more popular the "sport" has become though? i wouldn't be surprised if they had another one. they've been televised FOREVER, just not on as large of a scale as this year's tourney. i find it interesting too for only about 45 minutes, but always end up changing the channel.

I don't know how you guys could invest 45 minutes into watching an event and then turn the channel? If anything, I'd think you'd watch the last 45 minutes to see who wins. Thats like watching a close football game until near the end and then turning it off!! All the drama comes when its down to like 3 players. Thats when you see some real poker, and if you like making $$, this is where you learn a lot as well. ...Just my humble opinion

well yeah, of course i watch the last 45 minutes i time it.
