Default Who watch WSOP on ESPN

Every since this show came on last year. I was addicted to it, and this year. Every Tuesday I'm sitting in front of TV. With the main event final two table coming up next week. It has been pretty fun to watch so far. They did a great job on marketing and the show sells itself. Seem like everyone is playing hold'em these days. Who's your fav. player?

I like:
Marcel Luske
Doyle Brunson
Johnny Murphy

Phil Ivey and a few other good players got knocked out early this year. Like Sammy Farha and Gus Hanson.

If you know who won the whole series. Please don't say it, it will make it less interesting to watch for the rest of us.

LOL, my wife HATES that I watch it. She thinks its so boring. If anything I think its very suspensful and a hell of a lot better than those crap ass reality tv shows the networks keep pumping out that she is inclined to watch. Doyle Brunson is the man, a great player who knows when to tighten up and when (and how) to sucker many of the pros into just giving him money. But you still gotta love the assholes out there that make sitting at a table for 10 hours interesting, like Phil Helmuth and Scotty Ngyun. BTW, "Jesus" got puked this year!

I watch it every week. Addictive is an understatement. I watched the 2003 re-runs so often, I knew the hands before they were even dealt.

I think it is also the best of the 'poker' shows. Celebrity sucks, WSP is ok except for van Patten. Hell, my local FoxSports channel has a show that looks like they film it in somebody's basement.

I think Luske is going all the way. I don't think some of the young guns are very respectful but hopefully they will get what is due them.

I hate the CC guy on ESPN. He's not remotely funny and I really don't think he knows jack about poker based on his observations. Plus they barely tell you what's going on besides who has what. They finally started saying what blinds and antes are now that it's the main event.

There should be 4 eps left (2 weeks). The final table is a very interesting mix that no one will be able to guess.
