Think its a great idea to attract new low stake players to the site. Some people may just depoist a few quid and chuck there 4-8 quid about just to get there hands played on tele. Anything that attracts new players to the site would be good imo.
Introducing nl4 mc 200bb deep would be a good idea. I very much doubt any hands would be seen on TV due to the nature of the way the games play and should be played.
No offense meant to anyone lol, I watch sky every night and love master cash - find the tournament coverage a bit boring but that's cos I play cash and not tournaments so that's by the by. But if I tune in to 2p 4p master cash I will be turning straight back over to the Simpsons lol!

Just not interested in watching it, spider pig would be more interesting. Posted by mrdavies
But what disinterests you?
Is it just cos you think the standard of play will be really bad?
Or is it just cos of the amounts of money involved don't mean much to you? In which case, is a hand posted for the £11 ME rubbish in comparison to one posted from the £110 monthly roller?
Just for those who don't know me. I started off playing NL4 and still only play NL8, NL10 and very rarely NL20. Been doing it for knocking on for 2 and a half years and made a nice little 4 figure profit doing it. There is my limited background on this subject....
I have often thought that showing the NL4 hands would be excellent entertainment but under the right circumstances. The old mastercash shows that used to start at NL10 and gently build up to NL100+ over 3 hours or so were absolutely excellent and as a new player back then I used to concentrate on the lower stakes stuff purely because there were more mistakes and it was a better learning tool. To be brutally honest, I don't really watch it that often since the change to a 1 hour show and its for the above reason. There is not enough bread and butter hands from lower limits.
Now, in my humble opinion, I think (for want of a better title) an "Idiots Guide To Poker" series featuring hands from the bottom limit would be an excellent addition to the channel. By showing some of these so called "joke" hands, as some people refer to them, it would not only improve the recreational players at this level and also a chance of TV time but maybe give non registered viewers the confidence of maybe having a look at playing this stake.
I don't mean to sound rude to NL4 players but it is plainly obvious that a lot of basic mistakes are made at this level and although the channel is a very good learning tool it still left a lot of unanswered questions for me as a complete novice.
This would answer the simplest of questions in my opinion.
