The way she dresses like a teenage-grunge-drama-queen, sitting with her legs curled up in the chair, chatting away about nonsense in her girly dolphin-like voice, smiling for the camera with those dull, ugly yellow teeth...

I'm gonna puke.

I agree. They didn't even show some of the hands on camera when they were at the table, much less put up the normal graphics depicting the hands and percentages. I bet if a woman hadn't won that tournament we wouldn't have even seen it or the ladies event on TV.

The WPT that was limit this season had several solid pros at the final table

That was easily the strongest (professionalwise) table we have seen this season. Limit requires good postflop play and will cause the cream to rise to the top. Of limit, pot limit and no limit tournaments I think the lucky fish has he best chance at no limit.

My big pet peeve with this is the chip count.

How few chips did they get to start?

the "Chip Leader" had 40,000??

2 people at the final table had under 5,000????

Either there were very few ladies in it, or something is wrong here.

So far, the coverage of the entire WSOP this year has been pretty dreadful. Its great that they're showing events other than the big one, but they try to cram a 9-person final table into an hour so you see absolutely nothing except hands where people get knocked out (plus all that peripheral garbage from "The Nuts" section). The WPT pacing of a 6-person final table that lasts 2 hours is much much better from that standpoint. For a (semi-)serious poker player, these shows are barely even watchable as you don't see much playing-- just pushing chips all-in and watching the cards fall.

No skill? Absurd. Howard Lederer won the PartyPoker Million I. The WPT that was limit this season had several solid pros at the final table

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually Kathy Leibert won the first Party million. Howard won the second. But I have to agree that when you start with 500+ people and the final table has Scotty Nguyen, Barry Greenstein, Daniel Negreanu, and Erick Lindgren you would be foolish to say its all luck.

If you replace hot with dirty and trashy, you have a very accurate description.

i believe this to be the quote of the day. glad i am not the only one that noticed miss "im the sh_t who can forgo a womens tourni cuz i am scared to lose" can't even afford to go to target and buy some CREST WHITE STRIPS before she goes on national television in her grungy 13 year old girl outfit..
[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
if she really was after a bracelet and not the money, she SHOULD have played the womens game, where she SHOULD have been the easy favorite to win.. but we know why she didnt..
[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
and the 'bulletted' response about her budding career choices as was previously mentioned, that is so so tacky. give me a break. so classless. howard tought her poker, he needs to teach her how to dress, brush her teeth, and act with professionalism. they are such a contrast to each other.
