Re: Does anybody miss poker the way it was before TV?
[ QUOTE ]
I sure do. The tables were nicer, the people were nicer , and there was a real sense of community. I miss the days when there weren't 8 out of 10 people at a table criticizing a guy for the way he played his hand. I miss the sense of community and enjoyment that I got from even the losing players. I mean, everybody had fun at our tables, whether live or online because we entertained the people. At first, I thought televised poker was great but now I think it has ruined my former profession and (now) favorite hobby. What happened to poker????????????????

I honestly don't know what your talking about. The only TV poker shows I get are WPT & celeb poker, non of which I have ever recalled a player being insulted for how they played a hand.
Perhaphs the WSOP which plays on a channel I don't receive is different.
