Watching games played on TV are fun to watch and maybe give you some in sight of strategy and odds. But this is a live game, which started as out with many people, that took days to get to the final table, took make a 1 hour show. These are pros, that have studied evry move you make, from the start of that game and many games before this one. That said, too many players, never think that way, or they don't realize that it took that long, or what work went into playing as pros, and they bring these plays to the online table games, playing these OMG hands, and you see them make comments, " I saw it on TV" or so and so played it, on TV. I have ben playing online for many years, and these plays are getting worse. It has caused a mockery of online poker, which in turn the online poker sites are allowing it to happen and most of us players know, it is to generate deposit money business. Yet it is causing good players to walk away from online poker.
Now to live poker. I have played alot of and even the the private club games. I am seeing some people I know, that play online, that play some ding dong, donkey online poker, trying to play these crap hands, or trying to grind to the river. No talent, just sorry, pitiful, and pathetic plays and when a comment it made to them as why, oh, I saw it played on TV, and then get mad that they lost.
I got a suggestion, if you want to play BS poker, go play at the play money level. Now, if you want to play for freeroll money, pennies, and dime levels, or anything envolving money or a prize, then play poker as if you are playing for millions of dollars, and you don't want to lose. Play as if you have some sense, that really care about the game, instead of crap house luck, I don't care, attitude.
I do know a few, private poker games, that if you played with these, I done care, I hope I get luck, attitudes, where you win or not, you may just have a few bumps on your head, sometime after you leave the card room. It won't be for robbing you, it will be for your BS ways. In fact, I have seen some fights, over this, in some well known casinos. So it can happen any where.
