I gave the first two episodes a chance out of pure bordem and I must admit it was painful to watch. I liked listening to Phil Gordon though. Being a pro, it was funny hearing his point of view on the game. One time he even said "that's the worst call I've ever seen in my life" and he was right but some bone-head drew something and beat a better hand. These people need to stick to reading someone elses words. :wink:

Sounds similar to a program that was on TV in the UK a while back. It was called "Celebrity Poker Club" and there were 7 minor celebrities in each heat. The range of poker talent on show was quite stunning. There were 3 snooker players who knew what they were doing, a couple more who had clearly played a bit and I think it even featured Tony Holden, the author of "Big Deal" who spent a year as a professional and has appeared in the WSOP. On the other side of the coin, there were people who had never played poker at all. Some of the plays were laughable.

The co commentator, Barney Boatman - a well known London professional - said at one point: "The call on the flop was optimistic to put it politely, the call on the turn was ridiculous and the river card was the only card that could win it for him. I'm not even sure he knew he had a winning hand even then."

It even featured the old classic plays of declaring fold in first position at the start of a new betting round (the tournament director "Gentleman" Liam Flood quietly explains you can check), thinking your top set has lost to a flush when in fact the flush card paired the board for you and, who can forget the classic 44 in the hole - the board comes 88TTA and the guy with 44 is still convinced he has a good hand. Brilliant.

I liked Jack Black pulling out the big ass sunglasses when he had JJ.

Very funny.

Lol, man I hear you guys. It is so funny watching them they always ask dealer if they can check when they must raise. Sometimes I really wish I was there to whipe up. The most experinced player I've seen so far was Ben Affleck, although he lost to that annoying guy he knew how to play and did good, just didnt have luck.

You would think they would have someone to train them better, but guess not.
