World Poker Tour

i was just watching WPT on cable and its a lot same as online and i noticed that there wasnt much bluffing among the players , i just wanted to say i enjoy watching in tv like playing online and also im learning from watching it.

It's quite a good learning process, watching pros on TV. I saw some poker a while ago.. I think it was the WSOP and I got totally hooked watching how they play.

ya, i love watching them play, so much money!

Ye ive watched them before, good fun I saw this one guy fold with AA once madness but who knows what their doing better than the pro's they all have their reasons.

i really enjoy wathcing the wpts you can really learn a lot from the pros playing...

Ye thats how I learned to play poker really, well basic rules from my dad of course but to play well from WPT. It rules!

Watching is great. But you have to remember that the final table (which on tv looks like 1hr) lasts likely 8+hrs. They cut it down to make it more exciting.

Even though you can learn a lot form watching, you have to remember they don't make plays like that all the time, expecailly when there are 6 or less at the table.

I wish i could be there, I love live poker, soo exiting.

Thats where I learnt how to play on TV where I live they dont even have poker at my local casino when i first saw it on Tv i really got into it so now watch it every week. And now just play on the net. But I will be looking forward to playing it at a casino one day hopefully.

i cant get enough of watching the wpt, lol ever reruns, hmm may need help
new season is finally going to start plus i heard that nbc will be debuting a poker tournment sometime soon too, will post when i hear more.

Here is an article about the NBC tourny that Tamster was talking about. http://www.playwinningpoker.com/articles/05/04.html . Sounds pretty interesting to me.

Anyone know a good site to find a schedule of poker games on cable?

its funny, i watch the pros on tv to try to learn, then you see players making moves you wouldn't dream of making..sometimes it works ,sometimes it doesn't...if we make a play like that its blasphamey..if phil ivey does it its a "solid move" dont get me wrong i love watching them play, but imo its hard to learn a whole lot watching daniel negreanu go all in with 3 4os or calling david williams down for 500k with k high..dont get me wrong im a huge fan of dn and ivey but they play on a diffrent level thats hard for me to phathom...

got some craze call . it never works for me lol

WPT definitely fun to watch =)

These guys just know how to read well! They get the table narrowed down for a showdown(2 people in the hand) and figure each other out. Also alot of hands are won without even the flop on the board. That's professional poker, folding before the flop. They go on position, chip count, you very rarely see alot of players in the hand after the flop. On a freeroll for example, good luck to have less than 3 to the river, lol!
