Loving the studio bits where an excited De Wolfe does his best John McCririck impression ;D Title: Re: WPT - ITV4 Post by: celtic on March 17, 2008, 04:12:15 AM when are they on?

Title: Re: WPT - ITV4 Post by: vegaslover on March 17, 2008, 10:57:01 AM ITV obviously using the same tactics as for kids shows i.e. pump em full of sugar and e numbers and get em hyped up. Roland was like a kid at xmas

No one had tunes going off in their head and the price of poker did not go up...very dissappointing Td Th Title: Re: WPT - ITV4 Post by: I KNOW IT on March 17, 2008, 03:16:17 PM Dont you think Joe Hatchem comes across as a right old moaner, he was the same at the WSOP as far as I could see on ESPN.
I think Roland was thinking the same in some of his comments When the guy was all in with AQ vs Joes QQ and the guy hit an A on the turn, joe went mad and picked up a few of his chips and looked like his was going to throw them at the dealer. Of cause the river brought the case Q and he was all smiles again Title: Re: WPT - ITV4 Post by: LeKnave on March 17, 2008, 04:06:52 PM Bring back Vince and Mike.... :tikay: LOL, how can u record of Mike and Vince. Terrible idea. Title: Re: WPT - ITV4 Post by: Horneris on March 17, 2008, 04:11:43 PM Dont think this is good TV at all.
Seems like an abs crapshoot and dull to watch compared to things like HSP & PAD. Title: Re: WPT - ITV4 Post by: cambo on March 17, 2008, 09:40:04 PM why is that? exellent comp all the way through then it turns into total bingo for the last 6...so they just change it for tv?

Title: Re: WPT - ITV4 Post by: kenjude on March 18, 2008, 12:31:51 PM The players have screamed about the final table structures for a long time. WPT countered that it's expensive to televise slow structure final tables (hours of setting up and taking down of sets and cameras before and after the action), and by the way the reason there's so much money to win in these events is because of us.
Apparently they have slowed them down in the current season which starts to air in the States before too long. Two or three of the final tables are even going to be shown across a couple of shows each. I guess we'll see for sure what impact it's had on the viewing when the first one downloads in the next few weeks. |
