OK when they show the percentage that a player has of winning as each card is turned, how is that calculated?

Does the program take into account the number of cards remaining in the deck as ea card is flipped?? Does it take into acct any cards that it has already seen via the down card camera? That shit drives me crazy.
 
High Stakes Poker on GSN is second only to sex as far as I'm concerned.

The percentages take in account the cards that the other players have shown their respective hole card cameras and the remaining cards in the deck.
 
It depends on the broadcast. Some take out the known hole cards that have been revealed via the pocketcam. Others simply ignore the other players' cards. I prefer the latter method since there is no way the players in the hand can know those cards are dead.
 
Watching tournament poker on TV FTL

It's a shove fest and now ESPN bores us to death with touching stories about the players personal lives. Fvck that.

Give me Sam Fahra, Antonio Esfandiari and Eli Elezra over them any day.
