I just heard about this on the Howard Stern show this morning. This must be one of the worst shows ever.

The show is definately boring, except the one I saw with Snoop. He made it hilarious.

I watched the one with one of the Baldwin brothers and Ben Stein. Can you believe that Ben Stein bet the minimum every time?

I actually didnt watch the whole thing because it became to boring.

That doesn't suprise me at all. He probably figured that BJ is a losing game, period, so the best way to win is to not lose. I didn't watch it, but I'm guessing he used perfect basic strategy too?

BJ tournaments themselves make very little sense to me. Having celebrities do it makes my head hurt.

That is the optimum strategy. Wait until near or at the end to decide if you even need to make a bet. Usually most people at the table will bet themselves right out of the tourney.

I was being sarcastic when I said that.
