Miller may have just popped the poker bubble

No, not Ed Miller. But Miller beer.

I just saw a Miller High Life commercial in the middle of the WSOP. The beer drinker was playing poker. This can't be good...

There is a Sam Adam's commerical now where a table of guys is actually playing Texas Hold'em. The last play is where one guy bluffs off the other as he talbes 72o and the whole table winces.

Peace,

I think 'celebrity' poker already did this.

Great post BD

[playerfl]

lol, too bad they aren't advertising Bacardi 151, the drink of championship poker !

[astroglide]

not obscure

I think most people got this astro. Jumping the shark is fairly common terminology these days.

Hehehe. I love High Life commercials. The best commercials for the worst beer. I just can't imagine the people that see those and think 'yeah, that's me.'

I mean, even the Poker ads don't apply to me in any way.

[MicroBob]

the sam-adams commercial is the 72o hold-em one.
the miller hi-life one is 5-card draw, he missed his straight draw, and mucks.

so will rolling rock do a 7-card stud spot followed by budweiser with a razz commercial and then schlitz with a commercial featuring blind-man's bluff or indian-poker??

i didn't post it and i stated it wasn't obscure

Actually, he draws 3, keeping 32o and ends up drawing 3 cards that make a 4-straight and a paint card, I believe. Could be wrong though. This one's been around for a while too; it wasn't just shot and aired for the WSOP, though it's being aired a lot during it.

there's also one about some "age-defying" makeup. the star is some broad.. who claims she's 29 haha yea right. anyway, since she's such a good liar, we're made to believe she later got prime time action while holding a spade royal flush in a game that is presumably 5-card draw.

Some broad? I'd eat the peanuts out of her sh!t.

Jumping the shark is fairly common terminology these days.

I'd go as far as to say that "jumped the shark" has jumped the shark.

Good point. What can we change it to? Niles and Daphne got married, go

In the movie The Manchurain Candidate they opening scene is in Kuwait and about 6 guys are playing Texas Hold 'em very poorly. The scene lasted like 2 mins.
