poker on tv blows. i have said this for a long time now. the only way it would be good is if they showed every hand.

PSI's commentating is so bad partly because Chris Rose is a complete douche. I met him at Best Damn Sports Show a year or two ago and thought he was a complete douche in person too.

Live poker needs to be the future. Long-term run it'll be regarded the same way golf is, but that's better than it being a fad the way backgammon was...

Yes, poker really does have to be converted to a live TV format. Showing how the best players accumlate(d) their stacks would make for a far better product, although viewers would have to invest an inordinate amount of time to watch such a thing. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
