how can poker be dying...

As I'm sure Oliver would point out, quite a few of the copycat shows are already gone (Examples would include: Poker Royale, Hollywood Poker, Celebrity Poker Showdown). There's also the shows that were thought up but never made the air (Final Table Challenge, Quest of Champions, Heavyweight Championship of Poker, NAPP Tour probably) Then there's the shows that are on fumes (Ultimate Poker Challenge, Poker Parlor, Small Town Poker Tour (if it ever appears). What's left is the WSOP, WPT (and maybe PPT), Poker Superstars, NBC Heads-Up, Mansion's PokerDome Challenge, High Stakes Poker and whatever live tournament FTP.net can get on FSN.
