Learn How To Play Successful Online Poker
There are a number of options for how to get the most enjoyment from the poker games, with playing live or online the first choice of many players...but when it comes to poker on TV, then just being a spectator opens up a whole new fascinating aspect.
We all want to see the skill that goes into the games of the top players, and watch avidly as we see how they attempt to mislead and outwit their opponents when we know all along which cards each player is holding via the special hole card cameras. It's almost an illicit enjoyment, where we know the strength in any hand, and watch with bated breath as players either cleverly use their advantages, fold needlessly, or walk into traps which (to us) are obvious.
It might be hard to believe, but poker has been appearing on TV regularly since around 1979, growing from a single showing of the showdown table of the WSOP Main Event to a whole series of programmes offering poker on a wide range range of TV networks in recent years. In fact, the popularity of poker on TV has led to the formation of dedicated poker TV networks - The Poker Channel being a prime example. These are in addition to the dozens of other ways to watch poker on TV which you can find listed on the Wikipedia article.
This page displays links to a range of websites offering the chance to watch poker on TV, ranging from major news sites and poker rooms through to well known TV networks and smaller individual poker sites.
If you need more info on poker TV, then a search on the major search engines at Google, Yahoo, and MSN will return hundreds of additional results. Of course, TV is not just TV these days. The internet has opened up whole new ways of watching videos of poker games. The Youtube poker channels are well worth a look.
