Of course, none of this reflects on the quality of the show, which is very high, IMHO. I think the biggest thing that doing it this route is that it made it impossible for Full Tilt to allow their players on.
I wish tilt would of let their pros play, I would love to see dwan play on one of these tables

did anyone notice barrys logic in the hand where the other guy folded kings? the things he said where like shockingly bad

like he said that he thought the KK guy had a wide range, which would imply that he has air and garbage alot of the time but then he RAISED THE FLOP, which is mega bad because hes just gona fold all the time and you arnt gona get anymore value

im litteraly shocked at this, its like basic fundamental error to me and he said and did it and he sees nothing wrong with what he did apparently

also, i think daniel negreanu should be on every week cause this week isnt as entertaining and i think he would help

it would be great to watch tom dwan here; he'd probably go out of his way to play nearly every pot with the LC, and make their life hell. the question is if it would be worth it. to counteract that awesomeness, we'd also have to watch howard lederer and chris ferguson and several more of FTPs most boring, nitty pros who already ruin half the weeks of PAD

people can say what they want about hellmuth and negreanu but they're more entertaining than 90% of team full tilt, and i know i'm far from the only one who thinks so

This is what happens when you don't have DN or Hellmuth types in a televised games, an absolute snooze-fest. Lets see who can be more socially awkward for the next 3 days.

Second episode this week:

- Hmmm I'm starting to get worried that the fish are going to get edumacated by this show.
- More netlingo jumps the shark, including "+1"
- barryg with one of the more awkward perv moments I've seen
- Obvious shove or fold spot for cada with KK oop
- Other hands... sorry. No more edumacating the fish.

Ummm, exactly how much value do you think is left in the hand? Is cada gonna fire again OOP with a worse hand on such a tasty board, or check/call air or 3rd pair or something? I doubt it.

If barryg feels like he had good control of Cada than a raise there is perfectly fine IMO.

What's LOL to me is how people (including the commentator) misapply river concepts like "turning your hand into a bluff" to flops.

Lol hot for her age ... gtfo.
You know WTF I meant. So many guys on this site say any woman over the age of 30 is busted or a 2/10...etc. It gets old but I guess when you 18 you don't really find many 30 year old woman attractive (with the exception of the few super hot famous woman or famous actors wife as you stated.

But when I was 18 I probably didn't find many 30year old woman all that attractive neither.

So don't misconstrued the point I was trying to make.

Anyway how was the second episode? I haven't watched it yet.

Is this how it shows on your Guide also or just when it's about to be aired?

Because my guide said paid program. I don't think I ever even put it on to check.

So you shouldn't try to protect your hand against an Ax or Kx?

nadya shows she's got the light 3bet in her arsenal and is rewarded with a nice turn. even better, she takes the bet/bet/bet line and i think her river sizing is good. i'm kinda digging this chick. she's pretty much a lock to get a sponsorship deal w/ pokerstars

to be 30+ and have a kid, that girl is smoking hot. Most chicks that age with a kid are busted looking but I'd say she is top 1% or top .5% of all girls her age with a kid.

Nadya is cute but not a knockout .... I'd give her a solid 77/100...she seems like an overall cool chick which makes her more attractive....

Although she seems to be digging Bonomo, I think Barry is about a 95% favorite to hit it if he chose too(assuming he can get past her not being Asian).....IME Russian chicks dig older guys with big bankrolls....

For what reasons would PS sponsor her for? Single mom? Ethnicity? I think she's an attractive gal and wouldn't mind hearing more of her story on how she came to the States and such. But from a business standpoint, other than being charitable and a nice thing to do, I can't see it. What would be cool is for PS to pick up airfare for her and her son to go see her father in the Old Country.

i'm pretty sure they've sponsored people way less marketable than her. the single mom + sultry attractiveness + the way she carries herself at the table + being a seemingly capable player who's at least got a shot to go deep in tournaments. i absolutely think she'll get sponsored, possibly very soon after the show airs, and if not then she'll give herself a great chance as long as she stays in the poker world and plays the tournament circuit

i guess we'll find out

where did i say it was? she hadn't 3bet light once that was shown up to that point. wiggins obviously didn't 3bet light and never would have. there are some tv pros who pretty much never 3bet light, at least in the limited hands they've played on tv. so it's not a given. it was questionable if she was going to do it because of the possible pressure/money at stake. would have been easy for her to just keep calling with those hands. it's just nice to see that she's willing

this advice might help you a bit in life: people will hate you less if you're not a total dick for no reason all the time. gl!

Nadya = solid 7/10 imo. Her body looked pretty damn tight in those super tight pants. She is wearing too much makeup though, I'd like to see her not trying to vamp it up. Not much to say about the poker action or any of these boring 'young guns'. They should have def had Daniel or another woman in this game, it feels like 5 nerds and 1 cute chick, kinda awkward.

Also - everyone I know who has watched this thinks Amanda sitting on that white couch 45 miles away from the action and saying nearly nothing all episode is wierd.

Also - lol at whoever first pointed out the severe balding issue... I am pretty sure Bonomo has implants, his hair is a near exact replica of my early 90s 6th grade haircut that went with my too-tight polo shirt and jean shorts. The rest of the guys are obviously in various stages of balding, I guess poker will do that to ya
