Have you seen a TV show or movie that has realistically shown what is on a computer screen? Most of the time, the typing covers 1/4 of the screen. How do you expect them to clearly show multiple tables on one screen and not use a legitimate poker room's software.

Kevin...

Thank you shant for your honest comment.

Have you noticed the extreme lack of value bets in this show....Especially last nights episode.

And stack management, I have JJ, K on board and push all in early in a tournament....

But then again, it's entertainment, not a documentary on how to play poker.

The replay was on one of the TV's at a bar I was at last night with the closed-captioning.

The kid was all jittery and I noticed he had 3 different computers (with 3 seperate mouses...or mice??) for his tables.


In the little interview with him he claimed to do "2000 or even 3000 hands PER WEEK!" (if I read the captioning
correctly).

I informed my girlfriend that this is roughly the equivilent of claiming to be a big drinker and then bragging about having 2 or maybe even 3 whole beers in a single night.

I couldn't stop laughing.

She made the observation that the internet-kid needed some make-up BAD.


I want to say that the little temper-tamtrum when he lost to Eddie's higher 2-pair was unrealistic....but it seems they got that part all too correct.


Seidel must be pretty freaking embarassed to be a part of this thing.

2 things pissed me off more:

1. with 3 diamonds on the board and top 2 pair, eddie made no attempt to protect his hand. I don't know NL but slowplaying there seems incredibly stupid
2. some guy called off all his chips with JJ on a Kxy board

I think the whole show is embarrasing....every freaking episode that I have watched that is just too weird. The whole concept is too weird...best poker player in town is mobbed up, runs casino, kills people. When does he have time to play? Why don't they just whack him if they want to get even. It's hardly about poker at all.

Yeah.
I've wondered this as well.
Can't Miami and Clark just get a gun?


Why did Nickel put down $8k (which was obviously meaningful to him) to play in a game where he knew his brother was cheated?


do they really think that Lowball is just going to say "oh well...I got fired. too bad" and then run-away?


Do you really need 3 computers to play on 3 different computers?


does a multi-millionaire champion poker-player need any other kind of advantages?


If the World Poker Championships are held at the Colorado each year and is televised why are they a bunch of cheating punks who can't get anybody worthwhile to play there?


Is Eric Seidel getting phone-calls from his friends congratulating him on his splendid acting performance?
Incredibly, the brief cameo's by the actual players is probably the best acting and most realistic aspects of the show.



The alternate reality of this universe is just too freaking weird.


Also - They haven't been promoting this show nearly as much lately. I think ESPN is kinda giving up on it just because it's so idiotic. Don't know what the ratings are for it though....but I will be surprised if they actually renew it for a 2nd season.

It wasn't just one table per monitor, it was one table per COMPUTER!!!

I know everyone loves to slam this show for any reason, but the purpose of having 3 seperate monitors in this scene is so that the 98% of the audience that doesn't read 2+2 or play online can see that online you can play multiple games...

That scene with a 2001FP and 4 tables would have been visually boring and would have lost the audience.

Lighten up guys, it's a fun show.
