Five great reasons to watch reruns of the World Series of Poker


World Series of Poker Reruns (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN Classic) Even if you know how the tournament will end, there’s still great joy in watching the WSOP of years past over and over again.

Here are five reasons why you shouldn’t be ashamed to load up the TIVO!
1. Great drama.

Every hand is like a mini-episode of The Sopranos. There’s drama, comedy, tension, the highest highs and the lowest lows.

2. It’s educational.

You can learn a lot by watching how each player handles their cards, lures in their opponents and then goes for the kill. Poker on TV is great because there so much you to see that can be to incorporated into your own game (with the NFL, not so much).

3. Interesting people.

The short bio vignettes offer an interesting look at the lives of professional gamblers. While we all think it’s the easy life, these video clips show us how much work goes into getting to the final table.

4. Transports you to the happiest place on Earth.

Maybe you couldn’t afford to get to Vegas this year, but watching the WSOP lets you live vicariously through those whose wives let them go.

5. It’s in HD baby!

Not every wants to see Phil Hellmuth’s three o’clock shadow in 1080p, but for everyone else, the high-def coverage of the last few WSOP tournaments have really brought it to life.
