Watch high stakes poker on gsn the games network at 9pm or 2 am eastern every monday. This game is played with real cash and each player buys in with 100 thousand dollars or more. Even amatuers should enjoy watching this show. If watching someone lose or win a 100 thousand dollars on a single hand of poker is boring to you then check your pulse. Poker is a very competitive game, I think of it as a sport my own self. Learn all the intricacies of the game and you will become more interested in watching it on t.v.

at the same time as it is unlikely that John McCain will win the election, he has made it rather sparkling that he's adversarial to on-line playing. So what occurs in case you drop out of school, McCain receives elected, and passes a regulation banning on-line playing. look how a lot damage the secure Act did. And that develop into merely the loopy nonsense of a loopy freak slipping legislations right into a ought to bypass regulation. it isn't inconceivable that on-line poker ought to vanish in the U. S. if particular properly wing politicians get their way. The governor of Kentucky merely tried to get over 100 on-line playing web pages, which includes poker, banned and characteristic their domains confiscated. so that you merely under no circumstances recognize how lengthy this finished on-line poker element is going to very last. because of that, i don't think of you need to position self belief in that on your earnings. $4,000 is an striking earnings from poker, even if it is below $50K a 12 months, it really is plenty to make as a pupil, even if it can't be an striking earnings later in existence (even even if that is accessible then). and optimistic, you may advance and make better, yet perchance you gained't. perchance once you flow up you commence having higher swings, or you merely attain a own reduce that you could't flow previous? Poker is a ability pastime, absolute self belief. and that i have countless recognize for gamers who can make a residing at it. even if it remains a risk to stay that existence type. Even the proper pros communicate about going broke at one time or yet another. What i ought to represent is graduate college with a qualification to fall lower back on. proceed making a residing on the aspect, and commence saving up a economic agency roll. perchance you could construct adequate of a economic agency roll to flow to Vegas or someplace with some sturdy card rooms, and swap professional in some unspecified time sooner or later. yet for that you're going to choose a lower back up plan, and a good sized economic agency roll in case you choose a sturdy risk of being efficient.

Yes watching poker on TV is boring. It's not the game at all that makes it worthy on being on TV it's the people they get to play it and any extra stuff they add. But it's hard to get excited or into the game when not actually at the game playing it.

I am beyond sick of it being on TV. What does poker have to do with travel? I hate tuning to the travel channel only to see a poker game. Can't they get their own poker channel so the rest of us can get our shows about pyramids? I'm a big Bob Brier fan.

The main event of the World Series of Poker wasn't bad. Now that everyone has started showing it though is just getting out of hand. Unless it is girls playing strip poker I think they need to stop showing so many celebeties playing. Leave it alone with the WSOP.

I'm not a TV programming guru, but I'm going to guess that turning to another channel is probably the best way to deal with this.
