Default Re: Why does ESPN even bother with 9 players?

You just showed why they have more players at the final table.

You are right, since I plan to watch one tournament out of 13 as opposed to all 13 (which I likely would if there were more players), I've clearly proved that point.

I understand what you meant to type. I also believe you will only watch one more episode. What I do not believe you proved is that more people would watch if there were less players. Where would this end? At six players? Five? Four? Three? Heads-up? On person playing solitaire should be able to make ratings history taking your theory to it's logical conclusion. Perhaps 60 minutes of a dealer sitting with his hand out waiting for a toke might be the highest rated WSOP show of all time.
