It was recently announced that the new season of Poker After Dark will be shifting focus from traditional six-player tournaments to cash games. This didn't come as much of a surprise considering the excitement television cash games generate. After all, who doesn’t want to see hundreds of thousands of dollars flow around the felt, especially compared to a measly $20,000 tournament buy-in? Perhaps no moment better exemplifies that point than the Poker After Dark cash game when the likes of Phil Hellmuth, Phil Ivey, Tom “Durrrr” Dwan, Gus Hansen, Daniel Negreanu, and Patrik Antonius decided to...
What is great is the fact that the top players like Negreanu are "game" to still have fun playing the game to make it more exciting to a TV audience, which benefits poker as a whole. Phil Helmuth can be excused his obvious nittiness explained by his abject fear of dropping his bankroll any further as the tidal wave of new poker continues to sap away the foundations of his play.
