I actually got to watch this today, I always have my tvs on espn/espn2 even if im not watching them so I just accidentally ran into it. WTF was Seidel calling on that last hand for? The guy who won did the same crap (get up and sing and carry on) everytime he had a big hand. It was such an obvious tell. But I have no room to talk as Seidel has been there done that and I havent.

I love poker, I love talking about poker, I'm here almost every night, I visit RGP. But I've watched poker on TV a few times, including a bit of it today, and it's just a little bit less interesting than watching paint dry.

Is there any way to make poker interesting for TV, do you think? Maybe the automated shuffle machine? I think watching a limit hold'em heads-up match between two experts using the shuffle machine would be great television.

I don't know when It'll be on again, but this is the 3rd or 4th time they've shown that same tournament in my area. I'm getting sick of seeing Erik Seidel call off all of his chips on that last hand.t yet.

If we could get you and Tommy to announce one of these final tables, I think it would be a lot more fun.

They're running the Party Poker Million on TV on Sunday, part of the World Poker Tour I believe, which has not aired before. Not sure of time/channel.
