Poker Royale Battle of the Sexes
For what it's worth, I just saw a promo for this. It will be on GSN (the Game Show Network) Friday at 9PM eastern. I've never watched this, so I have no idea of its value. I just caught the promo, but I think the players shown for this show were Evelyn Ng, Jennifer Harman, Clonie Gowen, Chris Moneymaker, Layne Flack and Amir Vahedi. If nothing else, it's Friday night, so it would be fun to drink along with Layne while watching.

Re: Poker Royale Battle of the Sexes
The announcers are horrible (not the analyst, Robert Williamson III - he does a good job when he gets to speak once in a while). It is Tom Leykis and Kennedy sniping back and forth throughout, and it simply gets old after 5 seconds, and annoying after 10 seconds.

Re: Poker Royale Battle of the Sexes
This show could quite possibly be the worst poker show since celebrity poker.
The men vs women angle is really lame. My favorite Poker Show is still the World Series of Poker main event. Nothing can beat it. I can't wait for this year's to be on tv. But they need better announcers than Chad and the other dude. I'd love to see Gabe Kaplan hosting it with someone like Norm MacDonald. That to me would be awesome. |

Re: Poker Royale Battle of the Sexes
it's better by far than celebrity poker showdown. you just have to learn to tune out the banter. the play is fine. if you could take the play of battle of the sexes, and phil gordon's analysis from cps, it would be a reasonable show.

Re: Poker Royale Battle of the Sexes
One of that show's problems is the graphics they use...I have a hard time telling a spade from a club in their graphic of a player's hole cards. And the banter is awful.

Re: Poker Royale Battle of the Sexes
I guess Ng and Gowen are going to get a pass on their limited poker credentials as long as they are considered attractive. Neither of them has CLOSE to the results any of the other players in this do. I guess if Mimi Tran or Kathy Leibert were considered more attractive THEY'D be on these shows. I seriously doubt from their results thus far whether they are even winning tournament players.
