I have a question and a thought and wanted to see what other people think.

My question is: Does anyone out there know about "Local" games (LA especially) that are unique - I will let the word unique be interpreted by each of you - ; Unique in terms of the venue, the players, the game, the stakes etc etc. Who out there in North America is playing this game...and what do those games and people look like?

In my opinion Poker on TV is ready to go a new way.

Audiences are getting to know the personalities of the professional players and the shows like Bad Boys of Poker, Celebrity Poker Showdown and WPT event final table style shows are going to become staples in the cable and network TV markets. I think that this is a great thing for the many games of Poker and the WPT organization should be congratulated on their achievements for bringing the game to the masses in such a remarkably short time.

I would love to hear any feedback on this.

Looking forward to hearing from you all.
Cheers,
