| Not really, when I don't want to watch something, I usually change the channel. Works wonders for me... | ||

| I have to agree with the last one here. I wish they would show the entire 50 hours. Would be a great Payperview event. I would just hope they use a different production company than ESPN used. I did not care for their graphics or their commentators too much. A vast difference in the graphical look and feel of the show between them and WPT. Though I know WPT is made for TV, the graphical look and feel of that show is much more polished than ESPNs was. Its like watching NASCAR on Fox for 6 months and then having to go to the crappier production look of NBC/TNT for the back half of the year. Wish the same thing would happen there. | ||

| I agree. The WSOP LOOKS awful on TV. WPT has it going on regarding the presentation. I think that ESPN is trying to create the "dark back poker room" feel, and it is depressing to watch on TV. It is too dark and the action seems muted. The polished WPT comes across nicely, the announcers personalities have a lot to do with it. All-in-All WPT is a much better viewing product than WSOP.

| I agree that WPT is a much better presentation of poker and it certainly is bringing in the right crowds to the online games. The only thing the WPT could learn from ESPN is to include the win percentage for each hand as the cards turn. Other then that is the WPT all the way! ICIP | ||

| Yea the WPT is more viewer friendly because a person who has never played poker before can learn the basics of the game in just one good episode disregard aruba because in my opinion that was the worst showing of poker I have ever seen does anyone else agree. | ||
