Become a Student of Poker with Satellite TV

Poker has gone from being a shady bar room game for hardcore gamblers to being a mainstream way to have fun with your friends. Though many people have lost a great deal of money playing poker in a casino, others have made great fortunes doing just that. The key to winning is most likely a good poker education. Before the advent of satellite TV, new players had to gain knowledge the hard way by watching the pros in action at a casino, often learning from them as they lost to them. Now aspiring professionals and hobbyists can watch television to gain valuable insight, with only a tiny and almost negligible hit to their wallet.

Though reading a book can be helpful, the best way to learn is to watch someone who knows what they're doing. You can watch your friend play at a home game, or you can watch someone at a casino who seems to be a money magnet. The only problem is that a person in the casino probably does not want to reveal their secrets or they may find that their money is attracted to other people instead of to themselves. And your friend at home might not be all that skilled. After all, if he was, why isn't he raking in the cash at the casino?

That's why it helps to watch the professionals on satellite TV. Programs such at the World Poker Tour and The World Series of Poker are much better than watching someone play at a casino not only because of the high production value, intense drama, interesting interviews, and biting commentary, but also because they make it easy for beginners to learn. That's because they show everyone's cards on the screen. Of course, during the game, players are never supposed to know what cards other players are holding and they don't know at the time. But after the tournament finishes, the filming is edited for broadcast on satellite TV to show what each player was holding at the time. It adds to the drama of the whole situation when you know what they have and you realize at the time that the players didn't know. It helps you to think about what could have been done differently, or in the case of when the professional did everything right, what is recommended to do when you play.

Aside from the educational aspect, the poker tournaments shown on satellite TV are interesting to watch in their own right. There's always going to be high drama when big money is involved. Often times the first prize for these tournaments is over a million dollars. That's life-changing money. Every move these poker players make could be the difference between being the next poker millionaire or being broke and busted. That's a lot of stress to deal with, and that may be too much for most people to endure. They'd rather watch the professionals on TV. Or maybe people don't have the extra income to indulge in a little bit of gambling, especially at the higher and more interesting stakes. In both of those cases, satellite TV is perfect for them.
