Poker owes a great deal of its popularity to TV\nexposure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the game has been on our screens for a long time, it wasn’t until 1999 \u2013 the year the hole card cam<\/a> was invented \u2013 that things started to really take off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, no single entity has reaped more benefits from the introduction of the hole card cam than the World Series of Poker<\/a>, whose ratings skyrocketed in the years that followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the question is: Why is it so important for people to see hole cards? And, more importantly, would they still be interested in WSOP if they couldn’t?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Allure Of Seeing\nPlayers\u2019 Hole Cards<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why was it that poker grew in popularity so much once the hole card camera was introduced to the televised WSOP competition? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was still the same game, the same players, and the same action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only difference was that viewers no longer\nhad to wait for the showdown to see players\u2019 hands. In the hands that didn\u2019t go\nto a showdown, they had the advantage of knowing what players had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the surface, it doesn\u2019t look all that important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, knowing players\u2019 holdings offers a much better experience as it allows viewers to get involved in the action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the full information at their disposal, they\nknow if a player is bluffing or has a monster, which makes it much more\nexciting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It provides them the opportunity to root for\nthe result they want to see. If their favorite player is facing a huge bluff,\nthey can shout at the TV for them to make the call. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the same player is holding the nuts<\/a> and has moved all-in, the audience at home can root for their opponent to call and stack off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the hole-card camera, people at home\nget to “play” perfect poker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having all the information readily available,\nthey know exactly what to do, and they get mad about players doing the wrong\nthing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you have no idea what they\u2019re staring\nat, it\u2019s really hard to give advice on what they\u2019re supposed to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why the hole card cam was a game-changer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You really don\u2019t need to know much about poker to know someone should fold their Pocket Jacks<\/a> before the flop when you know the other guy has Pocket Aces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, having that information, viewers get much\nmore immersed and involved with the game, as they can easily offer \u201cexpert\u201d\nadvice even to the best of the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How could Ivey make that silly call when it was\nso obvious the guy had the nuts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was far from obvious, of course, but it kind\nof seems obvious when you can see the hole cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s an interesting phenomenon, but it works\nwonders for ratings, and professional players aren\u2019t overly concerned about\nwhat random viewers think of their play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TV Poker Without\nSeeing Hole Cards \u2013 Does It Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Poker
Image: YouTube<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why did Texas Hold\u2019em become the most popular\nform out of all poker variations out there? Is it really the best, the purest,\nand the most entertaining poker format?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guess it is, to some extent, but a big part\nof the reason for the game’s popularity is the fact that it’s the easiest\nformat for TV production. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With just two cards in the hole, it was easy to put them on the screen and get the audience to follow along. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trying to do something like this with a game like Seven Card Stud would be a real nightmare, especially for early-day hole card cams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game started to become really popular when\nWSOP made it possible to see players\u2019 hole cards, allowing viewers to go behind\nthe scenes and see how poker players think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poker was on TV long before these cams, but it\nwasn\u2019t very popular. Save for hardcore fans of the game, not many people were\ninterested in watching the game on TV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without the benefit of seeing hole cards, they\nhad no real idea what was going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if we go back in time and look at the\ninformation we have, I would say that WSOP wouldn\u2019t be nearly as popular\nwithout showing players’ hole cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s one thing to watch a player sweat over a difficult decision when you know what they\u2019re up against. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have no idea about whether the other player is bluffing or not, though, it\u2019s just not nearly as involving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, however, the situation might be slightly\ndifferent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The profile of an average poker show viewer has changed quite a bit. Most people who watch WSOP today know at least something about poker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Texas Hold’em has become a global phenomenon, and it’s no longer some obscure game that people are getting used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even without hole cards, the final tables of big WSOP tournaments would still bring in decent viewer numbers. In fact, this approach has been tested with live coverage of some events, and there was plenty of interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall though, I\u2019d say that watching without\nknowing hole cards just isn\u2019t the same experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hardcore poker fans will watch the game in any\nformat as long as there is a good lineup, but the number of hardcore fans is\nprobably not big enough to make up the production costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Happens If WSOP Can No Longer Show Players\u2019 Hole Cards?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If there is one thing that we can be certain\nof, that\u2019s the uncertainty of gambling laws – especially in the United States. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

New laws and regulations are passed quite\nfrequently, especially on a state level, often impacting the gaming industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not completely impossible that at some\npoint, for whatever reason, showing players\u2019 hole cards on TV could be banned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could argue that it doesn\u2019t make sense, but\nthere are many things in various gambling laws that don\u2019t make much sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we take this hypothetical scenario, in which\nNevada prohibits showing hole cards, how could this impact the World Series of\nPoker?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From my point of view, it would be a huge blow.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WSOP has already had to deal with rating drops after online poker was banned<\/a> in the United States, and people lost interest in the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if they had to somehow produce interesting\ncontent without the ability to show hole cards during hands, I think that would\nbe too big of an ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On one side, there is the fact that people know\nmuch more about poker and can, to some degree, enjoy the content without this\ninformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other, however, you have an average\nviewer who\u2019s looking for exciting and engaging content that captures their\nattention. I don\u2019t think that poker without the hole cards\u2019 information can\nmeet those expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without showing hole cards, WSOP would be\nasking the audience to constantly think about hands and follow the action\nclosely if they want to enjoy the show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel that’s just too much to ask from someone\nwho’s just looking for a bit of entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary: Televised\nPoker Would Struggle Without Showing Hole Cards<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even as someone who truly loves watching and\nplaying the game, I think that WSOP tournaments (or any other televised poker\nevents, for that matter) wouldn\u2019t be enjoyable to watch without showing hole\ncards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It could be fun for a little while, but\nwatching an hour or two of tournament action without any hole card information\nsounds boring. Perhaps not everyone shares this point of view, but I believe\nthat it would hurt interest in poker quite a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The poker industry owes a great deal to the\nhole card cam inventor, as it’s hard to imagine the game without it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, hopefully, we\u2019ll never have to find out what\nit would be like to watch WSOP without hole cards showing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
