Re: Horse 50K WSOP final table on ESPN tonight
Limit poker doesn't lend itself to dramatic television.
"Holy cow, he three-bet on a draw out of position!"

Re: Horse 50K WSOP final table on ESPN tonight
I'm happy that the final table was NLHE. If it was HORSE, I wouldn't have watched, even with the incredible lineup. Seriously, limit is terrible enough to watch, throw in a couple split games on top and it is crap TV. PLO is barely watchable.

Re: Horse 50K WSOP final table on ESPN tonight
This was the ME. For TV's sake I am glad they made it NLHE. Who besides the diehard poker fans is going to watch it? I would of but it would of been a struggle. If you look at it one way it adds to all the skills you have to have to win a tournament like that. Not only all of the other games in limit form you also have to excel at big bet poker. Just a thought.

Re: Horse 50K WSOP final table on ESPN tonight
So, let me get this straight:
Watching limit poker is boring, but watching a bunch of people fiddle with their chips, staring at each other for hours on end isn't? Sigh.

Jim Bechtel was looking very classy. I was expecting the truck-stop getup he was wearing in 1993.

Re: \"Official\" 50K HORSE WSOP final table on ESPN thread
I enjoyed Chip Reese's false tell (I think), when he took a long look at his hole cards, as people often do with a big hand, and then pushed all-in heads-up. This caused a fold by a superior hand.
