The Good, the TVG network (known for horse racing betting), is now during the evening airing poker tournaments between the races... (they are off of old FSN (Fox Sports Net) broadcasts, but it is better than nothing!)

The Bad, it looks like ESPN is making up hands again... Tonight's poker show -- From the Taj in Atlantic City had a hand in which ESPN said was 9-9 vs K-7h vs A-Kc

However when they showed the board, there was a 9-9, A-K and a A-Q as the exposed hands!!!! (What gives ESPN!) (the 10pm Eastern airing ESPN2)

I remember seeing that hand and thinking WTF?!?! I think it was just a simple production error though and nothing else because you could see what the real hands were.

Reason to bring it up is that ESPN has been busted on previous WSOP broadcasts of manufacturing hands to make the game more interesting and now it's looking like they haven't learned yet...
