The poker show on Game Show Network
A response to an earlier post on which TV poker show do you watch piqued my interest.
The reader said he prefers "High Stakes Poker" on the Game Show Network.
First, I have Comcast, and after about six months and eight technician visits (honest!) I figured out how to use the extra channels switch and access channels higher than 78.
It was worth it, for Fit TV, and for the High Stakes Poker.
I liked the players' dialogue on the show, and learned about "straddle" blinds and people playing out a hand twice. I know, I don't play much.
Heck of a show, though. Heck of a show.
NICK SORTAL began playing 3-card "gut" and "Indian poker" on high school band trips, moved on to "night baseball" and "pass the trash" during a Dr. Pepper-infused midnight game in the 1980s at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and now play in a regular neighborhood Hold 'Em game in Plantation. I have been given the assignment of writing about the gambling life in South Florida casinos for the Sun-Sentinel...which means sitting around watching poker on TV now counts as research.
