Stoupes22 0 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Just curious what all of you would think if GSN televised the Big mixed game instead of NL Hold'em? Personally i would love to watch that instead of NL Hold'em anydaysorry i accidently pressed enter...its supposed to say big mixed game. Link to post Share on other sites
mosley 0 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 i would rather watch the big game but i think the show will have a longer run with the game as is. Link to post Share on other sites

TheCinciKid 0 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I'd rather watch the mixed game. Unfortunately it would get like 10 viewers. Link to post Share on other sites
Jdr999 0 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 A mixed game of NL Hold'em, Pot Limit Omaha, and 2-7 NL would be great to watch without turning people away. Link to post Share on other sites
Nate The Great 0 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 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? Link to post Share on other sites
finztotheleft 0 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Sorry, I don't know the other games yet, so I'd keep it holdem. Link to post Share on other sites
Golden 2 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Definitely the mixed game... Link to post Share on other sites
ROGUE06 0 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 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! Link to post Share on other sites
FARGOpokerND 22 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I'd rather watch the mixed game. Unfortunately it would get like 10 viewers.I'm the 10th MIXED choice now Link to post Share on other sites
rogerwilco 0 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I'd rather watch the mixed game, but I don't know if that is even a choice for GSN. I guess some of the players who can afford the 4K/8K game wouldn't be comfortable playing the game on TV. Link to post Share on other sites
cubbybri 0 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 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. Link to post Share on other sites
EvilGN 0 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 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... Link to post Share on other sites
fleung22 1 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 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.

TB17 0 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 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.
