worst thing to happen to poker

[coolieo69er]

I'm not really sure that poker on TV is supposed to be used as a teaching tool . It's just to get the game exposed and draw people into the game. TV has brought many new faces to the game and has alot to do with the explosion of the game. Without TV poker would not be as big as it is today.

most of the people that play live games, say that they saw pros making money with it on tv so thats what they are trying to do. so i have to go with almost everyone and say poker on tv is a great thing. i also started playing poker because of all the attention it was getting on tv.

almost 100% of the people that play onlnie can't say that tv online helped influence them to start playing for money consistently
