Let's remember that Lisa is quite the sharp when it comes to NFL picks.

If you haven't seen this episode, I'd highly recommend it. One of my all-time faves.

The Simpsons used to be by far my favorite show, I have just about every collectible they ever produced. I used to watch marathons of it for days, and now I can't even watch a single episode without losing interest/focus after about 5 minutes.. I just skipped to the poker parts, threw up a little and then stopped watching.

lol'd when Marge repeated Spiros' last name.

Anyone noticed the Ivey reference?

Edit: Okay at least one time it's been mentioned in the thread.

thats probably the correct strategy because in TV poker is always about nuts vs second nuts

Tilly: Start with your Simpsons money, use your little girl's voice and take them for everything they've got.

I wonder if Tilly had anything to do with the wording of her line in the show. One of the few times she's done anything related to poker in the media and not had negative comments in response. She mentioned in an episode of The Big Game that she does read comments about her on the forums. It seemed like a bit of the comedy in this line was for us, which I thought was cool.

Not just in TV poker. If you plan on shoving AI for 400k? with the nut boat into and you only expect to get called by quads, then the whole idea of shoving is kinda useless to begin with.

Disagree with the narrative in the thread. Do not think that this episode was good for poker. Just made it look like blackjack or some other completely degen form of gambling. Do not think it hurt too much, but definitely didn't help.

Did I miss somewere that the creators of The Simpsons mentioned that this episode was in any way designed to make poker look good, help the effort for US legalization or do anything other than create a few LOLs.

I think maybe people's hopes were a little too high based on the Simpsons history of using adult satire in other episodes to take shots at other political and social issues.

Yeah basically this. All the hate is unwarranted - and the whole "it was cool up until season X" just makes you sound like a douchebag. especially when it's a race to the bottom: Who started hating it first; get a life.

Personally the main problem I found was I'd just watched it too friggen much and gotten over it and the humour. I gave it a rest for a good few years, then recently watched the last few seasons and it was alright. Sure it's passed it's prime, but it's still better than 99% of what is on TV otherwise.

Joke?

The city of New York vs Homer Simpson, Lisa's sax, Bart star, Lisa the skeptic, reality bites, Bart carny, the joy of sect, das bus, this little wiggy are all good
