The table talk in the first episode was like the anti-"Back the truck up". Yeesh, all the money in the world and they still come across as big dorks.

The strategies for the two are very different, people. SnG's are all about playing around the bubble, which doesn't even exist in PAD.

A "9-person 50-30-20 tournament" is not the only type of sng (or STT) that exists. You provide an artificially narrow definition of "sng" and then declare that PAD is completely different because it doesn't fit within that definition.

PAD is a single table tournament - people get eliminated.. blinds go up..
There are 6max stt's where the strategies are not that different. Non turbo stt's where the top 2 get paid...
The difference in strategy isn't as big as you make it out to be.

They wouldn't break 10k at their pace.

1000 pushups in 24 hours isn't hard and trying to mock him because you think he's boasting (when it's not anything to boast about) makes you look a little dense.

Dwan and Robl are total dorks who take way too long to act.

You can see that Chan, Doyle and Huck are totally fed up with how long these dorks are taking to act. Its all an act when you take that long on every street. It's unnecessary and lame.

That would be me. I ®'d it in the PAD cash game thread.

Saddly this is my crowning achievement in poker thus far

Doyles little interview was kinda interesting, he said "they analyze every hand, that would make me crazy doing that, I kinda have my doubts about them."

I'm sorry but Robl does look really strange...Real creepy. Seems like a nice dude though.

The new host really sucks but +1 for the rack.

The white inmates on the ASU yard I work at do a workout routine that involves 50 sets of 20 reps. They usually finish in a little over an hour, but out of the 35 or so inmates only about 9 can do all 50 sets. Dwan is so skinny that he should be able to do it in 24.

****, this is so boring. A bunch of great poker players and I dont even want to watch cuz its a silly sng. This just pisses my off to no end, especially since last week gave me a big tease with the very entertaining cash games.

I will never tune in again to this weakness until they make this a cash game show again.

edit: Is there an e-mail I can write to cuz this is just horrible? I would write every day, a different email to make this a permanent cash game.

I figured I should post this, this is the PAD forum. There is one called "What would you like to see on the show?" I encourage all of you to tell them to add more of the cash game format cuz this BS is way to boring, there is already a thread about it. I hope this isnt against 2+2 policies cuz we need to tell them that the current show sux horribly and I know many agree.

If only BT could run as good this year/next year as he did last year (pardon my ignorance, i only followed online poker heavy in the last 6 months) , he could be the next PA. He handles himself so well on the camera, shows respect, and can obviously dominate.
