man these guys have bounced around over the past couple of years
 
 
Travel Channel
 
GSN

Maybe if they showed more than just the final table people would start watching again.....and even if they only wanted to show the final table maybe like a 4 hour show with more hands would be better
 
 
they edit this stuff so badly, it's always an all-in fest....BORING

i agree weathered, i'd like to see length in each wpt tournament broadcasted. 1 hour, though is some what entertaining, i'd like to see hands that lead to the final table and hands that aren't of players going all in with a player getting felted. A 2 hour show for each tournament would be great.

in more WPT news....
 
 
 
 
I knew that WPTE was in trouble (stock is under a buck on the NASDAQ).
 
 
But now they are in danger of being delisted....if they dont bring their stock price over a dollar over the next 180 days then NASDAQ is going to delist them....
 
 
Things are not going well for Mr. Lipscomb's company right now.
 
 
I do hope they can turn things around soon....I still love the WPT and the idea of a PGA Tour like Poker Tour.

Its too bad as its a show I rarely miss watching. Funny how with Poker at the height of its popularity that they are having issues landing a stable TV deal which is really their revenue generator.
Too much competition for their on line site in my opinion. Hope they stick around, its a decent show.

I watch it all the time, but one thing that I wish that the WPT and ESPN at the WSOP, would do, is for the first half of any show, do not show the hole cards or if they feel like they must, just show them at the end of a hand (even if it wasn't a showdown). It would make it more intersesting to me if I could put some of these guys on a hand instead of watching it and saying, "Why did he bet that?" or "I would have done it a little different." etc.
