High Stakes Poker without any doubts, I love the action but also the spirit around the tables....all the bull and funny comments around the table. I think that often when you watch poker tourneys in TV it's all about who wins a race ex. 88 vs AQo which is totally up to the cards when both players just shove all in pre.

My favourite is Poker After Dark because its on TV every night and its a good show They show a lot of hands, even the boring ones which I like..I watch WPT every Sunday.

high stakes poker is my fav followed closely by the WSOP. HSP because all my fav players play in it (plus gabe kaplan) and WSOP because it so well made.
Me too WPT. Mike Sexton and Phil Gordon are awesome anouncers and its easy to see who's bet raised and called etc. I find it the most enjoyable to follow

I used to watch celebrity poker showdown a lot before, but then I got more interested in WSoP, Poker After Dark and the WPT. Very good shows with lots of money involved.

HIGH STAKES POKER IS THE NUTS! its not just about the money, its the way the guys are playing. i never liked esfandiari, but after hsp for me he is the best pro, although he has lost money there. i never saw a guy with such an incredible reading ability. the entertaining aspect is not just the talking, you have that in poker after dark as well. but they just play about some bucks there, thats why the poker-talking has got another quality in hsp. added to that the cashgame-mentality is nice, guys like esfandiari make some moves, try to play their opponents. there is no pokershow in which the psychological aspect is so important as in hsp. thats why

Hello, i live in Italy and they only broadcast WPT here so i feel forced to say WPT I can say i've seen some other minor show on the pay tv but i still think WPT is better. Maybe because of the speakers that are very funny

This one is fairly easy, Poker After Dark. Players are more relaxed, still play well. Good players, funny jokes, good size pot.... and players make the rules, like they can show each others cards or just one and then call... smith was funny in one episode when they bend the rules, someone said "but how about the show" to which smith replayd "I'm the fricking show"
They show a lot of hands, even the boring ones which I like..I watch WPT every Sunday.
