Chris Moneymaker says he is creating a new poker game show, and he wants the community to get behind it. The Poker Hall of Famer posted that he is "betting big on himself" and building a format that he hopes can grow the audience beyond the usual poker circles.
Kmart betting big on himself. Creating a new poker game show. Support this please.

Poker fans have seen a steady wave of new formats in recent years, from high-production livestream cash games to short-form YouTube challenges. A dedicated game show backed by a marquee champion would be another step in that direction, especially if it mixes recognizable poker skills with rules that are easy for casual viewers to follow.
Moneymaker remains one of the sport's most bankable names because his 2003 World Series of Poker Main Event win helped spark the modern poker boom. When he attaches his brand to a concept, the industry pays attention, whether that is an event series, a content partnership, or now a potential new show.
Details were limited in the post, but the key signal is intent: this is not a one-off idea. If the project gathers momentum, expect more information on the structure, where it will air, and which players or personalities might be involved. For viewers, the upside is simple: more poker content that feels fresh. For operators and sponsors, it is a chance to reach audiences who might never click into a traditional tournament stream.
