Yeah, watched it. Learned a thing or two. Scorepoker sounds like a tiger gaming type site where you register and play for free to win prizes from sponsors. Probably lots of advertising and stuff that you have to endure, but might be a good cheap way to learn. Better than the stuff that goes on at play money tables at the normal poker sites.

$12.5 billion: Online wagers anticipated by 2006
157,000: Average audience for TSN's poker coverage in 2004
109,000: Average audience for TSN's poker coverage in 2003
44 per cent: Percentage increase
172,000: Audience in Canada for TSN's coverage of the 2004 World Series of Poker
