Who would pay $25 to see poker without the hole cards being shown? Wouldn't it be more practical to have like a twenty minute delay and see the cards than do this?

The problem is, unless they took the measures I described above (in additiona to not letting even the PLAYERS leave the room - they'l have to be escorted to ap rivate bathroom, even), it would be too easy for info to get back to them. "So and is is raising with garbage. So and so had QQ on that one hand when you mucked TP. So and so stacks his chips in even piles with his right hand when he is weak." Etc, etc, etc.... With people watching an analyzing the on camera play, if any of that info got back to any of them players, it could be a huge advantage.
They simply can't show anything that the players can't see on their own. Not until the tourney is over. |

I agree 100%. Like TP said... Even with a 20 minute delay, players could relay the type of hands other players were playing, how they were betting them, what they did with draws, if they spotted any tells, and can let other players know about what their opponent had if they made a 'big laydown' etc. It's just unfeasable

I could see them doing ONLY the Heads Up like this... keeping the players isolated and all cell phones, etc, out of the room. But even THAT would be uncomfortable for the players. And broadcasting however many hours of Final Table action like this (live with hole cards) would just be impossible. And a huge, huge, huge mistake.
