Poker Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
The ESPN family
The ESPN family of networks aired 36 hours of Main Event coverage leading up to the January Nine on a 30-minute delay, showing the hole cards of all players who voluntarily entered the pot once the hand ended.
The Main Event final table
The Main Event final table was broadcast on a 15-minute delay with the same policy regarding hole cards. The first day of the final table was aired on ESPN2 and the final day on ESPN, with both days also streamed on ESPN3 and WSOP.
