I know the dialog is pretty gay, but it's really not that hard to just pretend like you're actually having that conversation. Just speak like you normally speak." Am I just deluding myself? Does everyone turn into a wooden caricature in front of the camera? I've never really understood why otherwise normal people (not referring to ADZ here) are so incapable of coming across as normal when you put a camera in their face. The acting in this pilot is what you'd expect if you told them "I want you to act like horrible scripted amateur actors."

How can you post this? Video yourself and a friend doing two minutes of dialogue from any random movie script; then watch the video. All your questions will be answered.

Re: ADZ124 throws down the gauntlet to kidpoker
I think someone is just trying real hard to get some poker sites to "sponsor" him and using Daniel's name in the process.

LOL. There are plenty of small, humorless, middle-income men in genuine relationships. If ADZ124 is ever worried about finding a woman "interested in him", he can simply stop throwing money around. Problem solved.
But perhaps (just perhaps!) being a small, humorless man with sexual access to lots of attractive-but-emotionally disinterested women isn't quite "the curse of the ages." Maybe it's rather...awesome, in fact?

Re: ADZ124 throws down the gauntlet to kidpoker
Clearly ADZ is a enormous clownshoe but douchemaker23 is right there with him....lol at getting drunk on your bed making a retarded video out of jealously.....worst part is that he is jealous of ADZ....so many worthy people to be jealous of and you pick this retard?
my god...
Also, usually people are divided 50-50% on nvg threads about poker players...this one we are 99% in agreement that ADZ is retarded.

Re: ADZ124 throws down the gauntlet to kidpoker
Why hasn't anyone pointed out how brilliant the FIRST scene is? ADZ gets out of bed (topless of course), hobbles over to the computer, where he has ALREADY joined two tables. Seconds later, a friend calls, and he says he is "busting donkeys...up about 30k". In just one hand!!
I really hope this show gets picked up...I would definitely watch a second episode.

Re: ADZ124 throws down the gauntlet to kidpoker
Wow, what a douche.
"I won't buy anything under 150"
For someone who made all of his money with his brain it looks like he has none. Walking into a dealership and saying I want to spend x amount of money minimum is not a good bargaining strategy.
Manager: "This car is usually $120,000 but I'll make it $150,000 just for you"

Re: ADZ124 throws down the gauntlet to kidpoker
I am not sure I understand the hate. I need more of you highstake Ballers to make shows like this so I can have something to watch at work.

I can't be bothered to watch again, but are you sure he's not talking about top speed as he was asking about horse power at a similar time.

Re: ADZ124 throws down the gauntlet to kidpoker
I used to hate ADZ too. All of his little remarks and raps in chat, the challenges, the painful, even unbearable youtube pilot. The avatars other than Joker. But then I saw of video of him at WSOP with my main squeeze Raszi and it became apparent that most of his online persona is just that - a facade. A facade whose aim is to get attention, to stir up talk and controversy.
The fact that there are countless threads and commentary about him only means his plan succeeded. As dumb as he comes off I actually kinda find it funny now.
DN self ban from 2+2 after three posts in HSNL? LAWL, no shocker there. This is one of the cruelest and most vicious boards I've ever encountered. I remember first posting anything, anywhere (let alone the upper echelon of elitism that is HSNL) and getting flamed mercilessly for seemingly no reason.
I hate nuthugging, both the term itself and the idea of it as a relates to 2p2 but Rekrul is the man. Best poster hands down.
Bonus funny Rekrul story - About three years ago I was playing 10 20 6m NL on stars back when I was Space Ghost and Rek was the Silver Surfer. After beating Elky HU for about 5BIs, Rekrul sits and promptly relieves me of those winnings, and then some. It was the only time I ever felt that someone could quite literally see my cards. Every single bluff he insta snapped off, and every value shove he tank folded. Time and time again.
At the time H@LL was accusing Rek of superusing and it made me wonder, although not that much because I quickly realized that I was just far, far outclassed at the time.
