WSOP or WPT?
Sorry if this thread has already been made.
Wich do you watch more of/which do you prefer?
I prefer the WPT, i find the commentary much better, aswell as the players and overall quality of players (both skillwise and manners) and I find they show more bluffs and good plays, rather than the WSOP's all in only type show.
How bout you?

I never saw her on any of the broadcasts ... is she hot?

Agreed! They show most of the hands "where poker is played", like pre-flop raises and folds, not just the all-ins or big pots.
The commentators aren't that great though - and Gabe Kaplan looks like a lizard. *shudder*

What's High Stakes Poker, and where/when's it broadcasted.
Ya i somehow didn't think about the fact that WPT is 2 hours while WSOP is 1. That'll make the big difference i guess, but i still get the feel that WPT is much more of a class tournament than the WSOP. I also really like EPT. I find John Duthe to be one of the best poker commentators. Always has great advice and try's never to tell the audience that he won the Poker Millions
Worst by far is Celebrity Poker. My god i despise Dave Foley and Phil Gordon. I feel like i'm getting worse when i watch them play.
High Stakes Poker is the show created where players play No Limit Hold'em Cash game, rather than the traditional no limit hold'em tournament
Players put their own money at stake, and chips at the table represent actual cash value (and you will often see "bricks" of cash on the table as well). I believe the blinds are $300/$600 with $100 ante, and the minimum buy-in is $100K
Its broadcasted through GSN, but most of us who watches it downloads it through torrents (unless GSN is available on digital cable or Bell ExpressVu, but I don't have either so I can't confirm)
Oh, and that crazy show on CGTV where they sit around and talk about the online games? What's up with that? That Tina is a hottie, but that guy Devo? What does he know about poker? He probably hasn't even seen the inside of a casino.
What bugs me the most about the European poker that is show none stop on CGTV, is that they have a serious problem with the sound quality making it impossible to hear what the players are saying, and sometimes the announcers too. They also dont alwasy check the players whole cards, so you have betting until the turn without seeing someones cards, or an all in and you only see what they have after the cards are flipped up... Yes it's kinda cool sometimes seeing what they were betting on after the betting is done... but that ain't for me
One thing i despise about WSOP, is how they follow Phil Helmuth around all day whenever hes in a tournament. Grr
The worst IMO is Poker Million. The commentary is just horrendous. I still watch though because I'm a junkie.
yeah..thats my favorite too. Good production, good play and good hosts.
