Re: Please Show the Numbers
The thing is, I don't think it's just 2+2ers who care about stuff like that. Or at the very least, I don't think it would offend people if they mentioned "Blinds are at 25 and 50" once or twice. Or showed an unobtrusive graphic when they first started.
My other pet peeve: Tell us the denominations for the chip colors. It's nice to know if a giant stack of chips really means anything. All this could be accomplished in ten seconds. And people who DO care would appreciate it a lot. |

Here are some numbers: Average number of viewers for 2005 WSOP: 1.5MM 2+2 Max users online was 1271 @ 10/10/05 03:55 PM While I agree with your sentiment, it's a mistake to try to project the needs of the hardcore lunatic fringe onto the average ESPN viewer. You can be sure that ESPN tests a lot of concepts regarding how they present these shows. In fact, because the ratings are down 20% this year, 2006 will tend more towards the viewing patterns of joe and jane six-pack than towards joe 2+2. [/ QUOTE ] i think what's more important here is that they can improve their broadcast, joe 2+2 will be happy and joe and jane six-pack won't care about the extra numbers on screen |

Re: Please Show the Numbers
I'm fairly sure the reason is that hands on the featured table/outertable are shown out of order.

A small minority that's very vocal can make a difference. [/ QUOTE ] Perhaps in a street riot but not in regards to a poker show on ESPN. At least I hope not, the show is fine as is. If I want a buch of statistics I'll sit on the pot and reread TOP. |
