Yeah. I concur.

It is shameful at how half ass the coverage is. I mean after Moneymaker and Raymer as well as last years Card Player radio I would have figured that someone would have figured out how to broadcast tyhis event to the largest possible audience.

I would subsribe as well for a month if I could get it online.

That and the fact that they won't be showing hole cards live?

Wasn't that already done in CT with Dagostino and Ivey?

Very sad state of affairs.

I don't understand why you're calling it a "sad state of affairs".

If you were at the final table playing for $12mil, would you want them showing your cards? I'd say hell no. During the breaks, people would just run out, call thier buddy, and ask what the 2 seat is raising with, did I make a good laydown, etc. Things that they should not know until after the tournament. This is obvious, and to be pissed at ESPN for not showing you the hole cards is ridiculous.

And on the sirius radio, of course they don't want you to just be able to sign up for a month, then drop the subscription. It's smart business on their part. They have the rights to the WSOP. If you want to hear it, you have to buy it from them, which includes buying a receiver and getting a subscription.

It's cracking me up how everyone complains about the coverage, but no one wants to pay anything for it. People complain about how crappy CP's coverage is, yet it costs you nothing.

Everyone wants to hear it on the radio, but a $10 a month service is too much. You're calling everything "half ass coverage". Well, hell, what do you want? Sirius is providing live coverage by Negreanu, Hellmuth and other pro's. But, to get that, you have to pay for it. Do you expect all this to be set up, paid for, etc for free?

Most people aren't in the business of providing services for free.
