The TV exposure on the Travel Channel and the continued improvement of the HoldEm Coverage by ESPN at the world series has elevated the game. There is no such thing as bad publicity, and this exposure will only help the game. I would like to learn more about WSOP satellites....every internet cardroom should purchase a seat for the big WSOP tourney.

To take it a step further, the poker industry should set a goal of getting WSOP up to 1,500 entries next year. My understanding is that ESPN is paying a small rights fee this year. The Nevada Resort Association, and the Convention and Visitors Bureau shuld unite to buy up all the commercial time on the finals show in return for a guarantee it will be shown in prime time. Then the video of the show with a tips tag at the end should be made available at every cardroom in the country for $9.95

lets insure the force is with us---Gary
