Who else is sick of poker, particularly on sports channels?

[aras]

For the life of me I don't understand why Sportsnet is showing poker. Poker is not a sport. I could be watching Senators or Canadiens (on top of the Canucks games), but instead I get a bunch of guys sitting around a table playing cards for hours on end. I rather watch paint dry! If sitting on your ass for 2 hours is a sport, then I'm world champion. I used to think watching pool was boring but at least those guys are standing up.

I love watching poker!

i agree, wtf is up with poker on sports channels anyways? how can they even consider it a sport?

[nickia]

I agree. Sportsnet is full of craps nowadays.

poker is fine sometimes.. but not during NHL/NBA games..

the only two shows that i don't mind are poker after dark and poker superstars. all those other random tournaments are just like.. wtf? i'd rather watch replays of sports highlights over and over again.

Poker just got commercialized, wherever there is money, businesses will follow it.
Ads for poker sites are legal in Canada!

I like watching poker, hate sports.

That being said I don't see a need to have it on a sports channel.

I enjoy watching it, but not more than hockey etc....and really how the hell is it a sport?

Every year when TSN shows the American Spelling Bee I ask myself the same question.

Yeah, Sportsnet is full of crap. It seems almost every other time I turn it on, it's poker. The other half is Connected, which is okay. Late night (after midnight), Sportsnet is poker, poker, and more poker. I prefer TSN's re-runs of amateur hockey games, or even women's hockey.

i only watch WPT and poker is fun when tony G is playing!
i just love his antics... he makes watching poker funny and entertaining

[kleptodathief]

i don't mind it, but ya its getting pretty cheesy...tsn has those british poker games with hellmuth and the same players over and over...BS

they shud show LIVE matchups of the final tables at bigevents , or atleast have BIG turneys televised with only the poker greats, like hellmuth,that mouthy mike guy, phil laak,phil ivey, gus hansen, dan NEG, throw in sum hot chix like evelin Ng, connie clowen, sp, etc

as for the WPT, on citytv, thats like last years episode?


if they have CURRENT poker events then i'd watch it

Sports = hockey, baseball, football, basketball, midget-tossing, etc.

Games = poker, bridge, cribbage, etc.

Get poker off my SPORTS channels, and show me some sports!
