Would you play on tv?

    Watching the poker the other night on Challenge, it occurred to me that, right now, I wouldn't like to play on tv where everybody can see my bad raises, my confusing check-calls, my unbelieveable folding of Kxs, my inability to work out how much is in the pot in high pressure situations :p

    So I wonder how many people here feel comfortable enough with their game to play, say on the WPT final table (disregarding the huge sum of money you're more or less guaranteed for getting there), and have their game laid wide open to Mike Sexton, his cronies and billions of armchair poker 'experts' around the world.

    in a flash, I'd say it would seriously change alot of peoples game tho at first and probably make me play hands i usually wouldn't.

    ollieboy did it change how you play? (during the tv recording)

    Ollie could definitely answer this one. He told me he thoroughly enjoyed it (WSPO). From what I could tell he thrived on it. Is it not a bit like internet to live poker. Its all very well hiding behind the couch when you call an allin but live is a different story...

    I'm the same as NTL here, can't think anything better for appearing on telly bar possibly playing professional football, although I think I have a slightly better chance of making a final table of a WPT than playing for Man Utd. (ssshhhhhh - no smart remarks allowed)

    Do you ever watch poker zone? They show internet games on t.v. if you play on their tables. It's a good way to get yourself famous ;)
