I like the actor who is supposed to be Ferguson, wearing a Hawaiian shirt.

"TWO HUN-DRED THOU-SAND!" Worst acting ever.

I can't understand why they'd get TJ and Jesus for interviews, but then pay actors to play them in the flash backs. IT WAS FIVE YEARS AGO!

Logged on specifically to post about this.
1. They engaged in time travel.
2. Whenever they talked about his standing in the tourney, the subsequent bets he made didn't add up ("His stack was under 100,000" then he is involved in an 850K pot).
3. "TWO---HUNDRED---THOUSAND!"
4. Ridiculous asides by the actor playing Jim.

I want to vomit.

I loved it that the wardrobe department clothed Jesus in plaid, of all things. Much more intimidating than black.

Sheesh, some of you guys are such poker snobs. I’m surprised nobody complained that Jesus was wearing the wrong hat.

The intended audience is not the multi-tabling, 1000 hands a day, 2+2er. It’s the casual poker player.

OK, the show was not well made but it was moderately entertaining. It will probably bring in some new players. Shows like this are good for poker.

It's fantastic that they pimped TJ's weak tight book too, but that doesn't excuse THE HISTORY CHANNEL for being historically inaccurate.
