Talk:World Poker Tour

message: Trying to understand the reason why particular revisions/additions are reverted.  None of the contributions I've made are inaccurate or promotional (SPAM) - they all pertain to the goals and objectives of WPT.  Thoughts and clarifications would be appreciated.
:First their is a consitent styling to the wording of links that is used in the Wikipedia, and also in these related poker articles.  That is why "Official site" is used, to be consistent.  Second, multiple links to the same website are unnecessary and rather pointless. One link to the wpt site and one link to the chipleaders site are fine contributions.  Beyond that we don't need to duplicate the internal navigation of those sites in this article. Third, assuming the previous anonmous edits were yours, you had tracking/referal code on the links, which is never going to fly. 2005 21:17, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Comments

message: At least some of World Poker Tour is commented live. This is proven in the coverage of season three's WPT Mirage Poker Showdown. After winning a pot from Gabe Kaplan with an all-in reraise, Jim Minnesota Slim Meehan says "I heard Mike (Mike Sexton) on the mic, he said 'Jim bet all his chips, if he loses this pot, he's out of the tournament.' I thought 'Holy mother of God, can I bet a little less?"  In other words, Jim heard Mike Sexton during the tournament, after he bet and before the pot was decided.  Similar events have occurred before, with Doyle Brunson replying during the tournament about what he heard said by the commentators.   Unfocused 17:13, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You are wrong. And you really shouldn't have made that revert (though 2005 switched it back). Mike and Vince are there, commenting on the events, live at every WPT event. BUT THEY NEVER GET TO KNOW OR SEE THE HOLE CARDS UNTIL POST PRODUCTION. What is "Aired" on television is a mix of the two. This is standard practice for television editing and has nothing to do with poker. However, the STATE GAMING REGULATIONS where MANY (but not all) WPT events are played PROHIBIT someone from observing these "camera" devices during play. However, the WPT hole card commentary is the same no matter where they go, it's all done in post. BUT YES it is true you can, in certain episodes see Mike and Vince chatting live with the players etc. but NEVER EVER about their hole cards (because Mike and Vince don't know them!!) - Abscissa 05:25, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Live commentary 

message: In the article, it states that "all other competitors" win a portion of the prize pool.  It's my understanding that this is not 100% correct, as only the top (n) competitors place in the money, depending on the # of entrants.  The article should be edited accordingly, or maybe it could state that all the players who make the final table for a televised WPT event earn money. Willbyr 19:41, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

message: "We just wing everything. We have no scripts, we have nothing, I mean honestly, that's the truth. A little secret for your viewers now. But in truth, any time players are looking at their down cards we can't see those down cards while we're sitting in the booth. We actually go back to post, and edit, and do the show all over again where we can see the cards, and just like we're seeing it for the first time. But it's against gaming regulations for us to be allowed to see the cards while the event is happening live. They way they mix it up and put it all together on the World Poker Tour it looks like it's happening on the spot." - Mike Sexton in "Holdem & Foldem: The World of Poker" mini documentary. - Abscissa 23:51, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I know that some people want to make the case for poker being a sport. It isn't. There are no physical skills or talents required for poker beyond handling poker chips. A man who is over 70 and who weighs over 250 pounds (Doyle Brunson) is still competitive in poker. Mikevegas40 (talk) 05:11, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
