I don't mind watching the world series and those one on one tournaments they had on NBC with the pros but nowadays they hae way too much poker on TV that you end up watching some everyday schmoe playing much too often.

I don't need to see the same guys I could see by going down to Elbow River Casino go all in hoping to draw two cards for a flush draw.

The world series is great for Norman Chad as much as anything else and the head to head games are interesting because for the most part the guys are professionals and the strategy is intereting to me in those games.

They are some other good tournaments as well but those Canadian poker shows especially are tough to watch at times.

Personally I love any tournament annouced by Jesse May aka "the voice of poker". Not only does the guy know everything about poker and how it should be played, but he is friggen funny, esspecially when he works with "Parg" dam its a veritable laugh fest!

yeah....i went to a cardinals game in Sun devil stadium with my dad when i was younger....pretty much the worst time of my life, and well they have sucked for an etirnity. I had a hockey tourny in Denver once and got to go 2 Mile High stadium so that helped 2 me liking the brocos as well, I think i just started 2 like them when they won the 2 back 2 back. Its just pretty hard to cheer for the cards thuogh, especially when you prefer CFL over NFL. I do cheer for the sun devils when it comes 2 NCAA football. but NCAA Basketball its gonna be Arizona, not asu.
