Default I cannot possibly keep up with poker on tv!!!!!!!!!!

I work all day, play poker 4 nights/week and so I have to tape all the poker that's on. Right now, I'm two weeks behind on Poker Superstars II, a week behind on WSOP, and not to mention the Full Tilt and WPT stuff that I haven't seen yet. My DVR box is just about filled up. How do you guys keep up? Is anybody watching it all?

Well, WPT and Poker Superstars II is good for your game. WSOP is just to keep up with entertainment. I wish I had a week off from new tapings just so I could catch up. Tonight I have to watch the colts game so I'll be further behind. Jeez, I wish I had time for normal things like religion, sex, etc.... lol.

I'm not sure how Poker Superstars II could be good for anybody's game.

It shows you what the best pros do with themselves while they sit there all-in and watch yet another board get dealt.

I'm behind at least 2 or 3 weeks on the WSOP mainb-event coverage...but I don't bother recording it because I know they'll re-run it about a zillion times and I'll catch the episodes sooner or later.


I know there are several WPT and PSI episodes I have missed...but I know I'll run across those eventually too.

In fact, there are many times when i COULD be watching one of the poker episodes...but choose not to because there's something better on (a football game or something) and I know there are so many re-runs of the poker.


I play a lot on the weekends..and I've really been enjoying the Saturday night ESPN classic older poker marathons that they've been showing. Last week was a bunch of the WSOP-2004 prelim episodes...and it's amazing how they actually feel a bit dated now even though they're barely more than a year old.
