Default Maybe the WPT is really dying?

I missed last nights episode and thought I would check out the thread on here to see what I missed. Except I can't find one. Is the lack of interest really that high or am I just missing it? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Since they stopped showing it at 6pm on the west coast, I stopped watching.

Me too. In fact last night I completely forgot it was on. Bye bye WPT. Can't wait for June to see season 2 of HSNL.

I also noticed their numbers entering the tourneys went down, or am I imagining things. I would miss it all the time if I didnt have a DVR.

Personally, I've had enough of the commentary. Sexton seems to be saying the same things all the time, and VVP is a blithering idiot. I just mute it now, if I watch it at all.

There are more 10K WPT tournaments than there were last year, and they seem to be able to add 10K events at whim and still draw 300-400 people, more on the east coast. Far more than the WSOP CT events.

Yeah, the broadcast sucks, but the tournaments themselves are juicy.

I have a few downloaded from this season that I've basically lost interest in watching. I only use it to analyze facial expressions and try to put them on the hands that they actually have. For pure entertainment value, it is really lacking. HSP is the show that I use to REALLY learn how to play poker.

While the WPT may be dying slowly anyways, I don't think that 2p2 is exactly a microcosm of the greater base of poker players/fans, so I dont think they are exactly related
