Hole cam
The hole cam is one of the most incredible inventions to have reached the world of televised poker. The hole cam is placed on the inside of the inside-walls of the poker table, especially during the televised final of a major poker tournament. The idea is to see the cards and inform the television announcers about the hand that each player holds, by peeking in when the player slightly raises her/his hand to take a look herself/himself.
The hole cam is also known as a pocket cam and has been quite helpful especially for people who are looking to learn styles of play for poker. It can also help people learn strategies of different players and even study their body language and expression changes when they get particular cards.
For the viewing TV audience, the hole cam has made a lot of difference in the way the game is seen by them. It has not only given them an insight into the playing ways and styles of great poker players and champions, but has also been a major teaching tool, one that has ensured that the audience can learn the tricks or the trade by simply watching the game.
