    Both can work and people are going to be biased based on where they are from.

    Even though I'm in EST and I'm trying not to be biased but it is way more popular. A lot of TV shows that actually are recorded live in California air live only to the EST time zone and have the 3 hour TV delay for the west coast.

    Listing something with both works fine too (11pm EST/8pm PST)

    I can only imagine the issues people in areas with a half hour time zone like Newfoundland have.

    Druff, the answer is very simple. List everything in the most neutral time zone there is. GMT. The time zone from which all time is derived from.

    From there everybody can do the math to figure out the time in their own jurisdiction.

    Hmmm... So, are you saying that you use PST during Daylight Savings Time even though it is an hour behind the commonly used time in the Pacific Time Zone during that time of year (PDT)?

    Screw GMT.

    I guess it's relevant for Euros, but in the US, we basically have no reason to give a shit about it.

    Incorrect. Ask any airline pilot in the US.

    The appropriate time is Eastern.

    If you post Pacific, people east of the west coast may fuck up and tune in at Pacific time, and will have missed the show. If you post everything in eastern, when people fuck up, they can always now wait up to 3 hours and not miss anything. It's more of a stupidity buffer.

    Go eastern.

    And Jewdonk. Jewdonk's ship operates on UTC. That's how he knows when to have the hot pockets ready.

    Everyone’s brain is programmed to EST, even in non-EST areas, as NYC is the center of North America, and in some arenas, the world. So if you’re looking to avoid confusion as to when the show is, or other forum related business, then PST is a poor bias to have. Even the majority of Vegas and LA pros are from EST, and still think in in terms of it. So to answer your question, EST is always appropriate when pretty much listing anything other than some surfer-related subject, but you’re not going to change, so what’s appropriate or not is irrelevant here.

    Yes but if you had a good time Saturday night, getting up at 9:30 or earlier to adjust fantasy lineups and make bets and start watching the early games can be brutal. And the 6:30 am PT games they sometimes have now, no fucking way.

    I don't believe that most Vegas/LA related poker pros are from EST -- at least not for the majority of their lives.

    From what I've seen, it's most common that poker players in the western states were originally from the western states, with the exception of the non-American-born Asians, obviously.

    How is a 400 million population continent the center of an 8 billion population planet?

    I get that Druff is the center of his universe but I thought you were a bit more worldly.

      BCR: I said in some arenas. I was thinking finance. A meltdown on Wall Street is problematic for the whole world. I was also thinking of DC, which is EST. Decisions made there ripple across the world, bad or good.

    It says that GMT sucks, and therefore all times displayed are GMT-8.
