Anyone else seen the frequency of people going on tilt with 6-4 since the matador used it. Then made his damn speal about the dueces. I've been busted by it once and thought it humourous that a guy called a big raise before the the flop with 6-4 but anyhow. Just Wondering and Tilt sucks

Look, as entertainment "Tilt" is an ok show. It takes up some time in my day. As a poker guide it is absolutely awful. Therefore you know that players who will raise with 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] are awful players. Be thankful that you will be payed off generously when they do not hit a straight, flush, or pair and you make them fold. Also, did anyone notice the fact that the newguy reraised with pocket 2's after a raise and in middle position? Did ESPN think that this was great poker?(p.s:, after you bust the guy, say "next case! just to be a dick) [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I watched parts of the first episode, and will probably watch it again tonight, but so far I haven't seen anything that I like. At least the new season of 24 is on, even if it has lost a step since last year. Now if I can just convince HBO to make another season of Deadwood, then I'll have enough to feed the TV monkey on my back. |

it's funny, b/c the show is goddawful, from a dramatic and a poker point of view.
1) if you didn't know poker well, the poker might be hard to understand. for example, they only show the board very quickly, and mike sexton isn't there to explain the hands to you. so if you don't know poker well, the show might not be for you. but... 2) if you understand poker, you know that the plays they make are ludicrous. the only quality hand someone played last week were the QQ that the black dude played to make the boat against chumpo at the satellite. they play cheese to start, and play even worse after the flop. so if you understand poker, you hate the show too. i'll keep watching it, b/c i'm addicted to poker, and it feeds a certain need i have. but i'm not sure who it's actually for, or if anyone really "likes" it. |

hmmmmm. With all the exposure to the WSOP you would think ESPN would maybe try to be a little more realistic. I wonder if the show has any tech advisors and if so is the show just a scheme to get more fish in the pool?
Anyway I haven't watched the show the commercials advertising it were enough to scare me away. peace |

Ditto on 'Deadwood'. I will make time for 'Tilt' as well but they need to hire a poker playing 'Advisor' to set the hands up more credibly.

Daniel Negreanu raises with hands like 64s all the time (he has alot of good articles at fullcontactpoker btw), so face. Ummmmm, I dont forsee any epidemic of raising with this hand in the future just b/c a couple dudes sucked out on you with that hand, although I will concede a slight personal weakness for T2s. |
