From a 2+2ers perspective I thought it was entertaining. I'm mainly an online player and watching Daniel read the celebs is going to be fun.

"You have a queen?"

"Nope, not a queen."

"How do you know I don't have a queen?"

"You don't have a queen."

Shove, fold.

"See."

Just saw this.

It definately alot better than Face the ace, my main complaint with that show was that it wasn't gimmicky, well this one got that covered.

This is the only way non wsop poker might have mass appeal is if it's gimmicky with lifelines, coaches domes etc..

Still not a great show but 100x more watchable than face the ace.

Negreanu schooled no surprise. Calling that off with the draw against a player that bad is so terrible.

Is clear that this show is not for the regular 2+2 member. It's like that show 21 on GSN. They took blackjack and made it into a real game show to atract the game show viewer. Not to get blackjack players to watch GSN. Me, I couldn't watch the whole thing. I realy didn't like it and it's not because I'm a DN hater. I like Danial and have a lot of respect for him and his game. That is maybe one of the reason I didn't like the show because is shows daniel, for people that don't know him, as a tv game show host celeb. guy. Not a pro poker player who takes his game very seriously.

Unfortunately, the concept is still right on the edge of FAIL imo.

I really hope a pushbot manages to make it on there just to expose how silly the whole thing is.

It's illegal for game shows to be rigged. And a network television show would not take that risk. I'm sure everyone involved with the matches (contestants, pro players, daniel, the dealer, etc.) had to sign disclaimers and were probably informed about the ramifications that would arise should questionable play ensue. Just my two cents.

I'm not saying whether or not they DID. But they certainly COULD. And I didn't see a whole bunch of preflop push-fold poker going on.

Why do so many in here expect every poker show to cater to the 2+2 audience only?

For those who care to see Sunday's show, those who are in the areas of the map above in orange and yellow, the show airs earlier in the day.

Thanks for posting this. I can't remember who this weeks "pros" will be on the 2nd episode and if I refresh my memory I will have a clue what the password will be today. I am in one of the states that doesn't air the show until long after the 20k freeroll.
