TV poker is the sux

[LombardiStix]

I love the fact that poker after dark shows every hand, BUT the last PAD was HORRIBLE. The one with Phil and Ferg vs "amateurs". The play was so awful. And Phil's ego was so swollen it was just really hard to watch. His reads were completely off the entire time. Anyway, I wish there was more TV that showed every hand. Why can't they just take up like 3 hours of really late night TV when poker players are up anyway and play every hand of a legit tournament with not so turbo'd blinds. That would be worth seeing.

i don't think the us actually has a poker channel. to bad. i like some of the older shows. (the ones where they don't show your hole cards!) i always seem to miss the "gimmick" sponsered poker site shows.
i like the wpt and wsop episodes...i wish they would include a few circuit events though. hi stakes poker is always fun because you get some drama with it! poker after dark comes on at 02am so its hard to catch that. i find it entertaining to watch tv poker.

one of my many ideas for getting rich.

i was going to charge PPV to show the final table of the WSOP, but was beaten to that.

part of the problem is, the WSOP, the WPT, PAD, and HSP all have contracts with other networks. if i started a new all-poker channel, could i fill 18 hours a day (six of infomercials) with quality programming? i don't know.
