Personally, High stakes poker is my favorite.

Welcome to the forums!

High Stakes Poker is my favorite also, hands down, but I also find myself turning to any WSOP event on ESPN basically anytime they're on. High Stakes is what I'd call 'actual poker' which is interesting enough to watch for anyone trying to understand the texture of the game on some of the deeper channels, but I also sadistically love to watch the inexperienced players trying to play 'TV poker' at the WSOP. I still cringe every time someone starts stacking out chips with A-rag preflop...it's kind of like watching Shark Week.

WPT is also good to watch even though I always miss it on Wednesday night for no good reason! I just forget it most of the time. One knock on the WPT is that it's basically an examination of all-in moves by the time the final table is set, which is pretty standard in any tournament, but I'd really like to see the build up to the final six which would make it much more interesting in my book. So much play leading up to it, that's exciting to me.

Also, I can't wait to see if the WSOPE main event airs stateside. Annette Obrestad took it down and after watching her play online for awhile and live through the WSOP website up to the final table, I am looking forward to seeing her earn a bracelet in what turned out to be the most amazing Poker story of the year. Let me know if anyone is offering this!
