If anything can kill the poker fad, that will. I am on record saying that this will suck beyond belief.

Every hand won will be with pocket aces though, at least it will be nice to watch that hand hold up.

Or flopping the nut straight and having the discipline to wait him out.

If someone wants to make a "poker" show, I would rather them just bring back "Lucky".

But...but....the guys who wrote the scripts wrote Rounders! I'm predicting many unintelligible foreign accents.

Yeah, you beat me to it here, but I'll be the 2nd person to go on record saying this will suck.

After seeing what ESPN did with 'Play Makers' and reading the piece they did on Internet Poker addicts today, it is clear to me that ESPN is not acting in the best interests of the poker community.

One can only hope that the pilot will be so unbelievable bad that the whole project will get canned before it airs.

Not much chance of that.
