overweight? you have a pile of bones as your girlfriend?

No chance Johnny Chan has anywhere near the self awareness it would take for this to be a level

This was worse than any poker scene ever in a procedural crime drama and that is really saying something.

If we're going to be taking this into the "bad poker on TV" direction, I think you will find this to be a classic of the genre (or was this already what you had in mind?):

To become the best you must learn from the best. Johnny is a bad ass and looks like he has many young apprentices. Who will be next?

This first post pretty much summed it up. Why does one need to act in "reality TV land" and it's horrible acting at that. And if you are going to have a high stakes poker table with wads and bricks of cash can you please at least use something other than plastic dice chips? Johnny Chan and Doyle Brunson are pretty credible top tier poker pros. I sure hope they are getting paid a lot of money for this garbage.

That's the thing if the show is a level do we then accept the comments saying what a great show it is as a level too?

Possibly the most awkward and badly produced thing I have ever seen.

I LOVE IT!

Edit: At first I thought it might just be a brilliantly executed level, but it went on too long and then I realized that they were actually taking themselves seriously. The first minute or so is comedy gold though.

I don't think the show is a level, and thus I don't think those comments are meant to be a level either. Whoever is behind this must have had a shilling strategy that entailed 1) filling up the video with positive comments in what I can only imagine was an attempt to influence perception (didn't work obv), and 2) creating a new 2+2 account just to post this (see OP).

I would rather watch re-runs of 2 Months $2 Million with Dani Stern and that "whitelime" Patel kid who always lost than listen to Johnny Chan tell me "He be great player in world" and some really, really bad acting from a bunch of wanna be Jersey Shore meets the Jonas Brothers reality screw-ups.
