Fall 2020 TV Lineup: What You Need to Know About the New and Returning Shows Here’s What’s New to Stream in October on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Disney+, and More World Series of Poker. This was a short-lived celebrity TV show for Playboy TV. It also intrigued people towards online poker. World Series of Poker: The WSOP is the biggest TV Poker show in the world. For a while, it was the only televised Poker show in the world. It is broadcasted on channels like CBS, ESPN & Discovery. High Stakes Poker: High Stakes Poker is the.
Most poker fans will agree on the two major factors that contributed to the poker boom of recent years: online poker and TV poker shows. Not only has the customer base for online poker exploded in the last eight years, the sheer amount of TV poker content has also expanded. In a five-hundred-channel universe that must fill its voracious twenty-four hour programming schedule, poker shows have become nearly as omnipresent as late-night infomercials.
Here are some of the best US-based poker TV shows:#5: Doubles Poker Championships (Game Show Network)
GSN’s “Doubles Poker Championship” is probably the most unique poker show on TV. Instead of playing against each other, players must cooperate as duos win a four-team single-table tournament. The format presents challenges for the player beyond reading a single opponent: each player must also understand his partner’s moves, as well as both members of the opposing teams.
The fun for the viewers often comes less from the stellar poker play the pros exhibit, but the clash in personalities among these strong characters. If Phil Hellmuth is a sore loser when he only has to depend on his own ability, imagine the meltdowns he has when a teammate lets him down.#4: Poker After Dark (NBC)
The presentation style of “Poker After Dark” comes across much more as a high-stakes home game rather than a high-pressure winner-take-all tournament. Players are often looser and more given to table talk… at least according to Phil Hellmuth. Speaking of Hellmuth blowups, the clip above shows how the “Poker Brat” starts comparing the show to the “World Wide Wrestling Federation”.
The players take the game seriously (sometimes too much) and the commentary is insightful and educational. “PAD” is without question the best poker show on any of the major broadcast networks.#3: World Poker Tour (Fox Sports Net)
Over the last eight years, the World Poker Tour has been one of the pillars of TV poker programming. With a new tournament nearly every week, the WPT has produced more poker content than any other regular poker show. The graphics and presentation in each broadcast give the tournaments a dramatic feel, in spite of some of the corniest commentary seen this side of Norman Chad.
For the last few years, the show has been hopping networks. Starting at the Travel Channel in 2003, then moving to Game Show Network in 2007, and later to Fox Sports Net. The FSN format split each two-hour show into two one-hour episodes, making it harder to follow the action#2: World Series of Poker (ESPN)
The familiar guitar twang of the intro has carried the “Grandaddy of them All” from the run-down rooms of Binion’s on Fremont Street all the way to the spacious Amazon Room at the Rio. ESPN’s coverage of each year’s WSOP is still the measuring stick for every other TV poker show.
Despite the ratings decline in recent years and criticisms over the commentary (“I believe they are the ‘Ramblin’ Wreck’!”), the WSOP will remain the most popular TV poker show for the foreseeable future.#1: High Stakes Poker (Game Show Network)
Although the WSOP has the glamour and prestige, GSN’s “High Stakes Poker” has the best in-game action of any poker TV show. The main difference between “High Stakes” and the other poker shows is that it shows real cash-game action, rather than a tournament. Players will often throw bundles of hundred-dollar bills in a pot along with their chips. The visual impact of seeing a player toss in enough cash to equal six months’ salary cannot be underestimated.
Of course, for every classic TV show, there are a dozen failures. Poker shows are no exception, especially ones that try to go “behind the scenes” or tell the “real story”. I’ll cover those in the follow-up to this article.Related Articles

Netflix is a full to the brim with great choices for your evening’s entertainment. There’s also plenty to pick from if you want something connected to poker, or even gambling in general. As poker players we also all secretly enjoy to watch the occasional piece of degen behaviour when it comes to gambling. There’s something here for everyone. KidPoker – 2015
This is the Daniel Negreanu story filmed in documentary style after his induction into the Poker Hall of Fame. Charting his rise to the pinnacle of the game, we get to see a glimpse behind the scenes at exactly how it all came together.
We also learn how he maintains the best version of himself possible, because it’s no secret that Negreanu has come in for some stick about not being able to compete with the younger generation these days.
A great piece of cinema, even if you’re not a massive fan of the man himself. Worth a watch.No Limit – 2006
This is a fun look into the world of high-stakes tournament action by two independent filmmakers. Made during the height of the poker boom we get to see the excitement behind what poker players are chasing day-after-day.
Big names from poker such as Mike Sexton and Doyle Brunson feature to give their opinions on the game that transformed their own lives.Win It All – 2017
This Netflix original movie is a fictional comic look into the life of a gambling addict. Eddie Garrett, played by Jake Johnson, is rebuilding his life after gambling away $50,000 that wasn’t his. Things are going well until a friend arrives at his house with a duffel bag stuffed with bank notes, and asks him to take care of it while he goes to prison.
There’s not a great deal of poker in the movie, but the themes are all relevant to the gambling industry and there’s plenty of laughs.Killing Them Softly – 2012
This all-star movie has it all. We have a mob protected poker game that is robbed by three nobodies and Brad Pitt is on the case to restore order as an enforcer. Ray Liotta and the Soprano’s James Gandolfini play big parts in the story of the mob’s efforts to show that they won’t be messed with.
Full on Hollywood blockbusters that touch on the gambling world are quite rare, especially starring names such as these. This is an excellent production and definitely one you shouldn’t miss.Cold Deck – 2015
This modern thriller is all about a compulsive gambler’s agreement to rob a high-stakes poker game hosted by a rich banker, Turk. Bobby is neck deep in a long losing streak and accepts an offer to pull off the heist from a local gangster.
After successfully getting away with the money, Turk is determined to get his revenge and Bobby is now in fear for his life.Poker Shows On Television
Although cliché ridden, this is still a decent choice if you can ignore the cheesiness of the actual poker.
