Default Re: $50K WSOP HORSE Tourney

Bob and others

You guys are really confusing what you poker players want to see and what 95 percent of ESPN's audience wants to see. I work with a bunch of guys who want to see HE. We play dealers choice games but they really don't understand things like omaha. They understand wild cards, acey duecey, things like that. While you and I may think someone value betting two pair in STUD for 4 streets is exciting, average joe doesn't. I don't think ESPN wants hardcore pokerplayers telling them what Bill Simmons readers want to see. WE already decided that bill doesn't really know much about poker but he thinks he does. Same goes for the average ESPN viewer.
