There used to be so little poker on tv that I'd watch it whenever I could. I remember bdawg and I calling each other back in the day: "QUICK! Turn on ESPN! They are showing the 1989 World Series of Poker final table!!!"
Oh, how times have changed. Ever since the WPT hit the airwaves and got decent ratings, more and more and more poker shows started popping up. I watched a lot of them in the beginning, but it didn't take long before I couldn't even watch most of the shows out there. Celebrity poker was the first to go.
High Stakes Poker is still the best. For tourney style, I like Poker After Dark because they show every hand, and the WPT is still the WPT. I also don't mind the NBC HU Championship, even though it is extremely edited down, and for some reason they feel the need to allow second rate celebs to play instead of worthy poker players.
Other than that though.... pass.
