World Poker Tour on GSN (thanks a lot, Comcast!)

By Nick Sortal April 1, 2008 07:25 AM

If you love the World Poker Tour broadcasts, then you've heard that the show has left the Travel Channel and is now on the Game Show Network, which also has the very popular High Stakes Poker.

So, I start to flip over to the Game Show Network, only to find out that, well, I don't get that channel any more. Comcast has deemed that tier of channels (about 100-199) to be some new term ("semi-premium") which I don't get ... unless I pay 12 more bucks a month.

Sorry, I've had it. Comcast out. Direct TV in.

Advice anyone? Commiserate with me or warn me?

About the author

Maybe you've made the right play, maybe you haven't. Your heart speeds up, your stomach rumbles.

That's why it's called gambling.

ACTION is a view of the numbers, the psychology and the flavor of gambling here in South Florida, through our lens.

We do have one sure bet. There's something here for you.

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.
