![]() Personally, I’m in favor of watching televised poker. ![]() There’s Definitely What to Gain from Televised Poker warns in an article on its site, that “You watch the pros having fun and winning money with this style on TV, but playing with weak cards and out of position is usually a great way to going broke in your local 1/2 and 2/5 games.” Another argument against televised poker is that fans need to be protected against gaining a false sense of confidence (from learning to imitate what they see on TV) and thus becoming bad players. What Televised Poker’s Critics SayĬritics are not so amused, pointing out that televised poker edits out everything but the most exciting hands, tempts viewers with millions of dollars in prize money, and doesn’t have much to contribute for players looking to improve their game. We often find their play-by-play commentary comical, but we’ve also got to ask ourselves if we’re taking mental poker notes simultaneously to prevent these flaws in our poker game. Poker Hall of Famer Mike Sexton and his World Poker Tour sidekick Vince Van Patten don’t mince words either when it comes to calling out ill-timed moves and berating even elite poker stars when they think they’ve botched a hand. Lon McEachern and Norman Chad pepper their World Series of Poker commentary on ESPN broadcasts with insight into how the hands went down and alternative lines of play that could be taken. Who doesn’t love listening to these guys talk poker on TV?
