Re: \"Official\" WSOP Event #20: $50,000 H.O.R.S.E.
Do you understand how annoying the televised final table would be it did switch events? In a typical 1 hour Holdem show (40 minutes without commercials there is 3-5 minutes spent how the game of Holdem works, the rankings of hands, and how the blinds/button etc works. Just to describe the rules of all the games with the fancy graphics etc, its gonna be 20 minutes. Secondly they would basically have to "admit" that this is heavily edited as it would jump from game to game throughout the show... they would have to constantly be reminding the viewews what game they were on each hand. As cool as it would be to see for us diehard fans, it would be a television nightmare.

I remember this Post from Greg Raymer and it didn't sound as though it would only be NLHE at the final table. Personally sounds dumb to me to play 5 games and then stop to play NLHE just so you can please the TV crowd. That is not the purpose of this game.

no, you misread his post. this FT is definitely NLHE. he was correcting me and saying that FTs in the past (presumably non-televised ones) have not been this way.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeh, probably switching games every hand they show would be confusing and would show how edited it is. That probably has a lot to do with making the final table NLHE. There is so much NLHE/PLHE on TV that I would think showing other games would create interest in general. There are a lot of people that don't understand NLHE anyway. There are also serious players who would like to see other games and casual viewers tired of seeing the same thing all the time.

Re: \"Official\" WSOP Event #20: $50,000 H.O.R.S.E.
Having the final table be NLHE is the worst decision from a poker standpoint I could think of. I'd love to see a final table of HORSE with people who are so good at all the different aspects of poker. Instead I get yet another NLHE final table with the same lame Norman Chad jokes and the same situations I see in every other poker telecast. The definitely missed an opportunity with this one...
