wow i think the show will be awesome. looking fwd to it.

lol at the poker tips video. i think even those tips will be over 90% of the viewers heads, unfortunately. hey, at least i learned what pot odds are, though.

I think the level of the poker tips will legitimize the show to amateur players but be fairly unaccessible to the layman.

Show definitely looks well constructed and all four players are likable and come off very well. They convey the younger and "cooler" aspect of being a professional player but are level-headed enough to avoid most of the negatives associated with gambling.

Hopefully this is successful and more money can filter into poker via the entertainment industry, funding a new generation of lazy college drop outs to keep the dream alive.

i hope you are right jchristo, that's the best thing that can come of it.

show looks well done and will certainly be a hit with poker players. judging by the g4 forum buzz and the fact that i'm always surprised (one way or the other) about non-poker player's reactions to poker stuff, i think it remains to be seen how much the show glamorizes poker or generates new players. I think there's definitely a chance that it does.

that site is pretty damn legit. if someone had asked me last year who would be great for a show like this i without a doubt would have said the dc crew. will be watching and recommending (already have) to all of my friends, who for the most part don't play poker.

from the first 10 seconds can already tell flawless is the man.
