In Response To: poker losing its luster? (OT) (stw672)

TV needs spectacle, and normal BG is not spectacular to watch. Time pressure is. How about giving each player reserve time and a delay (say 5 seconds), play unlimited match, and deduct points lost from the time reserve; first player whose time runs out loses? Something like that could be suitable for TV.
