I'd rather watch the mixed game. Unfortunately it would get like 10 viewers.

I'd rather see Time Warner cable not **** all of us poker fans by switching the a channel that isn't included in the basic package. I live in Orange County, anyone else have this problem?

Definetly gotta go with mixed game....we already saw the 1st ever live high stakes NLH cash game. Make it a mixed game similar to Big Game and man we got some entertainment!

I prefer the mixed but it would never happen. Not anytime soon. The average Tvpoker watcher has no clue how to play any game but NLH. THey take two minutes of every broadcast on most these shows to teach the player how to play. I can only imagine the average guy trying to keep up with a Omaha 8 or stud 8. I play both and I have a hard time with the board at times.It's a shame but won't happen.

Most on here would vote Mixed I am sure, but of course the rest of the Nielson families only care about Holdem. ESPN and Moneymaker are to blame for that...

I'd love to see mixed for sure but I understand the love for holdem.I can't imagine them having to show How to Play ____ poker game each time the game changes.Half the show and commentary would be just explaining the game.

I would much rather watch holdem.A mixed game would only have like 1 maybe 2 big hands per orbit. It would just piss me off if I saw two good PLO hands, and right after the commercial break they are playing stud h/l. Maybe if they had each episode be one game, but still.Plus limit games aren't really as interesting as NLHE games because there's less strategy and therefore makes it less appealing to watch. I mean I am a die hard LHE player, but I wouldn't really want to watch 4k-8k LHE on TV. It's just not as interesting.Not to mention seeing tourney NLHE players (ie. Hellmuth) trying to play cash NLHE games is a lot more entertaining to me then watching 3-4 chopped pots with the occasional scoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooop.
