It's called counter-programming.

Nice table.

Lackluster poker coverage.

Re: 2004 U.S. Poker Championship tonight on ESPN
 

23 minutes in, and there's been 3 club flushes that hit the river, what are the odds of that?

It's not 23 minutes in real time, it's edited to fit the hour constraints. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Anyone notice that they said that that guy was drawing dead when he had runner runner flush draws?

^^ beaten like a redheaded stepchild...

Why did they just say Haber was drawing dead like 8 times?

The flop was X[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] X[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (board not paired) and haber had K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] vs the other guys set of kings. Runner diamonds would give him a flush, yet they heavily emphasized how he was drawing dead...

Re: 2004 U.S. Poker Championship tonight on ESPN
 

They must be using the Hellmuth definition of drawing dead, as in when someone hits his 5-outer on the river to beat Hellmuth, and Phil says "how could you call me drawing dead?".

Norm just didn't say it once, he said it a couple of times. Their poker coverage sucks. When's the Superstars Ivitational on ?
