I think we need to face the fct that TV poker is not designed for people like us. It is made to appeal to the new poker following ESPN crowd. And we just have to deal with whatevr they give us

What you say is true in as much as ESPN finds itself in a position to shape the public's taste. No-limit served as a great introduction of how exciting and dynamic a game of poker can be, but I think broadcasters will eventually embrace more forms of poker, either by choice or necessity..

I personally think 2-7 NL would have made a great broadcast.

I haven't seens any duece to seven played so I can't comment on it. What I find most interesting about watching Razz is seeing the equity percentages see-saw with every card. I do think it's an interesting game.

Do a search for that ESPN360 streaming video of the WSOP 2004 Deuce to Seven event. It was very entertaining.

I think the heads up Razz hand btwn Tj and Howard Lederer last year was the epitome of poker, and poker thinking. It was awesome to watch how these guys think

I hate to join in the usual negative tone of this board, but read the question again. ESPN, the most profitable TV network,is going to show 34 events? or episodes? from the WSOP. That is incredible and +EV.

After seeing it last year, I have to say that watching Razz is like smoking crack.

Indeed, keep the bubble alive. ESPN is free marketing for players that can make a buck off the entertainment seekers. I'd like to see Raz though, that was interesting last year.
