I'm sick of seeing some bastards with more money than me playing high stakes poker on tv. I want to see some low stakes poker. People play for pots of $2 lol what do you think of it. A ratings winner.

What's the point of that? The reason they are playing that high usually means they can play, why watch some wannabees? Watching the pros can teach you something.

it's gonna be much more boring then watching me playing low stakes poker (I mean $2 pots) lol.
If you want to see actions at these limits, well you can indeed watch them but certainly not on TV.

I used to watch a bit on TV, think it was skypoker or some channel like that, would show lots off diffrent games from 4c up to 400$ games. I enjoyd them. Heres the diffrence. you see Doyle etc make a move with 7 2 he is a HERO. Now you see a avrage Joe do that on a micro game and hes a DONK. For those saying whats the point, think of it like this, whats the point in watching your local team play when you can watch a million doller club play, whats the point in watching amature rallying when you can watch the experts ect etc.

LOL, well for me its been a fair while, a good 3 years. But there are better players at NL2 than there are at NL25/NL50(my home). Now the way I was loking at it is, Im playing micro/low so whats the point in me watching big games? WOW look at all that money some random guy won, ill learn from him, im sure i can apply them skills to a low limit game!!! Yer right. So go learn from the guy killing low limits if thats were you play, step back and see what the players are doing. And you know them pub games are the best...these millionair footy players cant fight for s**t and have no time for you.
Im reading lots of books for collage, they are as boring as f**k, but im learning what I need to learn, I could put them down and go get a great crime book for excitment, but I got a feeling knowing the killer wont help me pass the exam.
I'm sure there are many TV shows in England you can win an invitation to play in. Some rooms offer you this chance, starting playing dedicated tournaments with a little buy in

I absolutely agree! I want to see some $5, $10 pots too. I mean it's good and all to win money, but let's not forget about the fun of the sport. I like to play online and enjoy the game with a nice 50c pot It's a great game! You don't need a million dollars to play it, jeez lol...................See ya at the tables
