History Channel, Breaking Vegas and Positively 5th Street

SoftcoreRevolt · #1 06-07-2005, 09:18 PM

Is anyone else watching this? It has been quite awful so far, with people going up to TJ Cloutier before the WSOP talking about how much they loved him on the WPT (TIME TRAVEL) which was quite amusing for the History Channel to get wrong.

Just turned it on after 15 mins in .

I think it's ok. They can't show to much but it's another show about poker.
So far McManus qualified for the wsop but he's broke, I can relate when I was younger I was in Vegas under differnt circumstance but similiar.
Believe me , when your in your early 20's it's much easier to be in Vegas and pratically broke.

I like how they show shots from the World Series, with Jack Binions World Poker Open banners all over the walls. Terrible show so far.

Yeah, this has been quite awful.

Anyone notice that this is in the year 2000 but yet a guy says "Hey TJ, you rock on the WPT!!" Um, I didn't know the WPT was now in it's 5th! season.

This is an amazing piece of cheese -- and I love the disclaimer about how it's recreated, but with great attention to correct historical details. I've watched about 6 minutes of it, and I've spotted about 4 mistakes no one else has mentioned yet. (For example, the poker books he has includes Carson's 2001 book!)

And the cheesy opening "Cloutier is all in -- it's all come down to this!" Awesomely bad -- thanks guys for "recommending" this program.

last year I flew out to vegas when I was 18 and played for 30 straight hours and won ~$1500 playing 4/8 (two high hand jackpots). after i cashed out i sat down to play blackjack at $50 a hand and lost it all and missed my flight. when I went to the airport they told me the only way I could get a different flight was to pay $100 to move my flight time, and i was broke. it sucked.

I'm so glad that I get to be the first person in this thread to tell you that you're an idiot.
