WPT does use smoke machines and an applause track. High Stakes Poker had some scripted elements. ESPN mostly only shows all-ins. Best Damn Poker Show was a reality show. Poker broadcasts are treated a lot different from other competitions, e.g. football.Poker on TVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00288432340942450595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10889081.post-40387860441517642462008-07-02T02:14:00.000-04:002008-07-02T02:14:00.000-04:00The fact that so many people fell for this proves that it's thought to be possible.
