WSOP or WPT Ok everyone, which to you like to watching on TV more, the WSOP or the WPT?
Here is my thought process in deciding which one I like: WSOP: Pros:
shows more than texas hold em
has all the great players playing
the main event shows more than the final table Cons:
Norman Chad, the announcer
so many amateurs
shows are almost always re-runs WPT: Pros:
smart announcer, Mike Sexton
most episodes are not shown 12 times
shows "real" poker hands, not just the good for TV ones (blind stealing, etc.)
everyone is a decent player, as they are at the final table
Gus Hansen is in half the episodes Cons:
only six players per episode
shows players taking forever to make a decision
Gus Hansen is in half the episodes
After all this, I am still undecided. Which show does everyone else like?
(yes, I did not mention the Poker Superstars Invitational, a very good show)
(yes, I did not mention Celebrity Poker Showdown, a very bad show) |
