Re: $50K WSOP HORSE Tourney
Actually, I wouldn't think the 2-pair in stud would be very exciting either.
I think a departure from hold-em in the form of a HORSE game would give some needed verve and variety to their broadcasts which seem to be getting more and more stale as we go along.
It's an amazing $50k buy-in!!!
and to complicate matters they are changing the game every single orbit!!!
Watch the fireworks FLY and see if they can keep their games straight as they battle in the largest buy-in tourney in World Series history.
I've actually been finding ways for this to be appealing to the non-expert.
Personally, I am not a fan of the stud games and am perfectly content watching another hold-em table.
But I think it's ridiculous to change formats of such a big tourney just for the televised final-table...and I believe it would be in ESPN's best interests to mix things up a bit for their viewers.
I think a situation where the game is constantly changing could bring the novice player into it even more.
Ratings are down ESPN. Take a chance.
