A+ would watch again.

Just one thing: usually that level of sketchyness is backed by UB and I couldn't find their logo anywhere.

What the hell?? That was Jason Ho??? That guy was the biggest scammer, he even dammed dusty Schmidt and other pros. This is getting funnier and funnier.

still thinking about this...

i actually don't even get the concept of the show. they all get $200k of Johnny Chan's money... then what? They play each other? how exactly does the viewer play into it. Don't make me watch it again, just tell me what i missed.

Stopped watching @ 2:20. Surely someone here knows the Genius?...wait

Not even sure if Chan has the intellectual ability to execute a well thought out (cough) level, so the writers suck. Embarassing attempt at attracting fish for the start of a second boom if this is the case. Will watch 1st ep though.

Also, this needs much more love ITT IMHO. Nice post.

Also, I think this show should have a disclaimer in the begining of every ep. stating that said show is fictional and characters are in no way representing the poker community and that all opinions expressed are not that of the show producers yada...

If the makers have any sense in them (I know, that's doubtful), they will roll with it and make it a comedy show.

im going to ****ing go bankrupt just to make a poker show that doesnt use those same generic poker chips that are in EVERY ****ING SHOW/MOVIE. "were playing highstakes poker in a million dollar mansion but were using the same $5 chipset you use at your family homegame."

The show las vegas used them IN the casino poker room!@%!^$@# REALLY? were supposed to not think how ****ing stupid that is? "wow he must be good every night he cashes out 50 5k blue chips, hey why are we broke?"

Honestly, I doubt this would be as entertaining as it sounds. The guy probably sits at a table for 30 hours at a time. He most likely gets up on occasion to poop, do a line, eat, get his eyebrows waxed, and or bang a hooker and then goes back.

I would watch every episode of this train wreck. It's pure failtainment.

I mean the video doesn't even explain a damn thing. Johnny has a team that he stakes who play in a 9 handed game....against? And the viewer is involved how exactly? What part does Doyle play in this? I figured he'd have his own team of dbags but they never showed up.

All I know is when that guy asked if this scared me I honestly answered "YES".

I dont easily feel ashamed for someone/something. I can watch all kinds of embarassing **** without having to stop. But I could not finish this. I'm not just saying, I actually mean it: Worst show ever.

If it's a level then it's super genius. But like someone stated before, I doubt Chan is self aware enough for this to be a level.

What I really don't get is someone with this level of video editing skills gets 12 million views on youtube? I really want to start putting some ****ty content on youtube asap.
