Has anyone seen some info about when ESPN will be broadcasting the 2005 WSOP? I'm sure the information must be out somewhere, but I haven't seen it yet.

Thanks for your help!

The only info I've seen has said 32 hours of coverage from July-November. Haven't seen anything more specific than that.

I really wish they show all the tournaments (Razz, 7CS, PLHM, NLHM, LHM, PLO, OH/L, etc.)

I think that anything more complex than two cards in the hole and shove in all your chips requires too much viewer attention and thought for the MTV generation.

The games are apparently too tough for ESPN too. They couldn't even do a decent job of broadcasting 7-stud last year. The on-screen hand displays showed each hand in numerical order, without regard to up and down cards. I'd hate to think of what they would do to a multiway O/8 pot.

Yet it's this MTV generation that is slaughtering the poker community...what were the stats for last years WSOP? 5 players 25 or younger and 7 (total) in their 20's got bracelets?...think before you speak.

I also though ESPN did a good job with what they showed. Who else is showing stud? That's what I thought. I'm happy to get what I can.

People that sit and piss and moan about not getting it good enough need to just chill. Would you rather see justthe main event and only NLHE? If anything, complain that they don't get it to use soon enough!

Has there EVER been a poker broadcast that didn't have a sizable contingent moaning about something? The coverage sucks, the play sucks, the editing sucks, the announcers suck, etc., etc.

Get over it people, they're showing POKER on television for gosh sakes. A lot of it. Relax. Enjoy.

They shaded what the downcards were for stud, what more do you need? I'd like them to show the same games they showed last year. Razz is a one day event so I seriously doubt it'll get shown again. I wouldn't mind seeing more then 1 LHE event and more then 1 PLHE event. I was surprised that they didn't show DN winning the LHE bracelet since they put his face all over the TV. You'd think they'd at least show him winning at his best game
