12. It does soak the schedule though.
It crowds out other stuff on the 24 hour sports channels, and these channels are the only ones that provide quality programming with any regularity. At least this is the case in Canada where it seems that at any given time at least one of the 3 sports networks is broadcasting poker. Part of the allure of a sports network is the goofy shit they air during off hours (e.g. wheelchair Australian rules football, U.S. miniature golf championship, round table discussions of steroid abuse in professional bowling). In the last couple of years, this diversity of programming has been vanishing with the networks filling the deadspace with yet another poker tournament.

I enjoy watching it every now and then, but good grief, it's like these channels have become the Texas Hold 'Em Network.
