Title: FAVOURITE POKER SHOW Post by: snoopy1239 on October 02, 2005, 09:32:16 PM 3 answers.
Blimey I must be bored tonight. :( Anyhow, thought this would be an interesting poser. I've always wondered what you lot thought of the poker on the box. Mine are: (i) orignal Late Night Poker - may not be playing now if it wasn't for the lure of this show. (ii) World Poker Tour - really took poker to a new level and brought it to the millions. Probably gave us more fish. ;D I love the commentary on it too. Plus, Shania Hyatt :o :o :o (iii) WSOP - love the fact it gives us a range of games and events. UK Poker Open was unique cos it was live and you got to see every hand - but was it just as entertaining? I'm not sure. Enjoyed it though. Have I missed any big name shows out?

"Whats he doin' Vince?" "he's going all in Mike, standing up and being a man" absolute genius

They never repeated that level of tension for me. The black background, the smokey atmosphere..... LOVE IT! Wasn't it also one of the few 1 million viewer plus, after midnight shows?

LNP introduced so many of us to the game, WPT introduced so many of us to the great American players and Shana Hiatt. ;D Title: Re: FAVOURITE POKER SHOW Post by: The_Ant on October 03, 2005, 11:16:05 AM Easy....1) the original Late Night Poker 2)WPT and 3)WSOP
Title: Re: FAVOURITE POKER SHOW Post by: Heid on October 03, 2005, 11:38:45 AM I loved LNP, and it made Mr Heid into the poker fanatic he is now - I remember the first time he saw it - we were up late that night (unheard of for him). he was hooked after that.
Interestingly enough they had the final with Paul Maxfield on last night's WPT on sky, and I had to stay up and watch the end of it even though I was pooped from my gadding about on Saturday. Shania whathertits, doesn't do it for me :( Heid xx Title: Re: FAVOURITE POKER SHOW Post by: byronkincaid on October 03, 2005, 11:39:11 AM Live poker is the best imo, especially if you're actually trying to learn something from it. Everyone slags off poker den and i agree the cash thing and the commentary/searching thing is a bit silly but to see how devilfish for example takes people off hands has been an influence on my game. i think they should have 2 dealers (one shuffling one deck while the other deals another) though to make it run a bit quicker.

Title: Re: FAVOURITE POKER SHOW Post by: EvilSteve on October 05, 2005, 02:15:59 AM Watched the Party Poker Heat of the UK Speed Poker Open tonight, not bad viewing.
We really don't need 2 poker channels tho do we, they're full of repeats and 226 shows loads of shite that isn't even poker related. Not to mention some of the old black n white films I've seen on there, pure garbage! Title: Re: FAVOURITE POKER SHOW Post by: Acidmouse on October 06, 2005, 01:32:57 AM Does any1 know when WSOP 2005 hits the box and what channel? I dont know about UK TV. But its been on ESPN for weeks now. (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/poker/news/story?id=2073630) You can download them as torrents from numerous places online. As for my favourite poker show it has to be ESPN's World series coverage. Norman Chad is an excellent commentator for us poker newbies :) Title: Re: FAVOURITE POKER SHOW Post by: snoopy1239 on October 06, 2005, 01:33:59 AM thx for that.
