Players don't necessarily get paid for playing on TV. There are some invitational shows that pay appearance fees, such as High Stakes Poker and, reportedly, Poker After Dark. Players can also be compensated for wearing logos when they're on TV. They don't get any direct compensation for playing a real event (as opposed to a made-for-TV one) that happens to be televised, such as the WSOP or WPT events.Poker on TVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00288432340942450595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10889081.post-28630689150226527902008-04-18T22:42:00.000-04:002008-04-18T22:42:00.000-04:00Somewhere somebody must have already explained ... <BR/><BR/>How do the players get paid for being on television?<BR/><BR/>ThanksBob Kennedyhttp://www.ratherbelucky.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10889081.post-40817551655606972692008-03-03T01:40:00.000-05:002008-03-03T01:40:00.000-05:002.6 to 1 calculation:<BR/>- 87 votes for cash game;<BR/>- 29 votes for keeping it a shootout;<BR/>- and 14 votes for equally interesting, counted as a split pot (cash game and shootout each getting half of the votes).<BR/>Votes counted March 2, 2008.Poker on TVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00288432340942450595noreply@blogger.com
