World Poker Tour

J.R.:
A few weeks ago I started to get into this show on Travel Channel (Which has deviated it's roots quite a lot...), which is, to put it simply, a glorified poker game. The reason I'm talking about this is because my onscreen guide on my satelitte lists it as an \"Game Show\".

If you've seen it, do think this program qualifies to be called a \"Game Show\" ?

Jimmy Owen:
If the players have to answer a question posed by Wink Martindale before they are dealt the cards, yes.

 No more so than when poker (or Magic: The Gathering) runs on ESPN2 at four in the morning.

I actually somewhat consider these poker tourneys to be more of a sporting event, but that's just me.  Maybe I'm just completely wrong.
