Poker on TV

[TexasGal]

There are so many different kinds of poker to watch on TV? There's World Series of Poker, Celebrity Poker, Poker Royale, Superstars Invitational, and I'm sure others. What do you find most entertaining?

I like all poker on TV, but for me there is something about the WSOP that draws me in and makes we want to watch it.

I have all the WSOP on DVD from the last few years and quite a few of the old ones from the 70's, 80's and 90's. I quite often just sit and watch the main event from start to finish over the space of a few days.

High stakes poker is good also - clash of the titan's with big piles of cash in front of them.

for any of you that haven't seen High Stakes Poker - here is a $600k hand which is scarey - and I reminder of how you not always even in the lead - even with a monster!

I love to watch the World Series of Poker and Celebrity Poker. I was never really interested in card games beside black jack and spades until I started watching the world series. It was actually pretty cool. Now I am hooked on Texas hold em.

Celebrity poker is more fun to watch because the celebrities don't always take it so seriously. I like it when they're able to have fun. They have fun and it makes me want to go out and play poker.

I like Celebrity Poker. One they are playing for charity and two none of them are pro's - well not poker pro's anyway. Some of them act like professional idiots and then there was Jennifer Tilly who acted a lot like another type of pro..... But it is still fun to watch.

Wasn't there a big celebrity pro poker game on TV here recently? Within the last couple days? I thought I heard something about it or saw a promo. I meant to pay attention.
