omahahilo 0 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Just curious. I know NLHE is the bread and butter of the poker TV industry, but I would enjoy it. Link to post Share on other sites

omahahilo 0 Posted December 31, 2006 Author Share Posted December 31, 2006 I know the LHE is alive and well at the casinos. Maybe that's why NLH is so popular on TV. If you're playing LHE it might be fun to watch a game you don't venture into? Link to post Share on other sites

omahahilo 0 Posted December 31, 2006 Author Share Posted December 31, 2006 Limit is so boring, it would have to have a really entertaining final table for me to have any interest.I would actually have to respectfull disagree with you. Although the size of the pots are definately much bigger, and the decisions much tougher, I find All-In, Fold, All-In Fold, All-In Fold quite boring actually. Am I alone on this one?

Am I alone on this one?No, but NL coverage doesn't have to be that way. Poker Super Stars is that way because of the structure. The WSOP is often that way because of the coverage. (Let's rush to table 89 where's there's an all-in between 99 and AK!)I'd rather watch a good limit game than either of those.NLHE games with a reasonable depth are my favorite to watch.

I agree with you here for sure. Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 As for me I'll watch any poker game on TV limit or other, I just hate shows with crappy structures like Poker Superstars on FSN. I especially like when ESPN used to show the PL Omaha and stud. But as for the general public who doesn't play poker I cant see them watching anything but NLHE. Link to post Share on other sites
showstopper24 0 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 They've done it before. It was semi-entertaining but just because of the players.they did it on a cruise once and it wasn't boring becuase the blinds were so high, so i would watch but i would rather watch nl Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel38 0 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 High Stakes is the classic example of how fun it is to watch No limit with deepstacks...Season three around the corner Link to post Share on other sites
beans422 0 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Seeing the best in the world play LHE is definitely worth watching. You can enjoy much more post flop play even deep in a limit tourney as opposed to mostly preflop poker that the structures of the WPT NL final tables are designed to accomodate.

Wrathraven 0 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I like variety and enjoy watching any poker game televised, but apparently the interest just isn't there. They tried airing lots of side-events from the WSOP in '04 (the Razz event was a hoot), but have decreased the the number every year since then. We'll be lucky if we get one PLO or Stud game next year Link to post Share on other sites
