blonde poker forum

I just saw this new ant and dec program called pokerface advertised on the telly.

does anyone know whats its going to be about and if it has anything to do with poker, i hope not because i imagine it will be terrible!

No its not poker. But its a question and answer gameshow that involves lots of bluffing I believe...

Apparently they came up with the idea of the game whilst down the pub one night!

however when i looked a few days ago the link wasn't correct on their website

Saw the final of this tonight. To be fair i hadn't seen the rest of the series, but I just didn't get this show. I normally like Ant n Dec, but just found the format to be poor.
It came down to the last two and both were around £75,000, one was a bit higher. If one of them folds the other wins a million, if neither folds then the one with the lowest score loses £75k.
Who in their right mind would fold knowing that they could be turning down a million? That is basically what happened, neither folded and the one with the most questions right was the winner. So well done the winner here is a million and the runner gets nothing, ha ha. It is just rubbish telly and hope Ant n Dec find a better format.

It was their idea...

Perhaps they should stick to presenting or go back to Byker Grove.
 :D

I thot it was ok, but i was perhaps biased as i knew the girl on it

The girl who won?

Which one?   the one who won?

No the girl who was heads up and refused to take 15.5k and lost the lot

Ah not so good.  Is she gutted?  I would be, but then I think if I knew I'd had a bad round, I'd have folded. 

The idiot that didn't fold tonight and lost £75k can't have thought he was in the lead, he'd had a few bad rounds.

Damn thats a shame Lee.....I hoped it was the other one.

Big boobs and a million quid....I'd have given you beer for an intro    :D

(Mrs Jagster dont look!!!)

LMAO Jag, i was willing her to press, but i knew she wouldn't.

Nobody folding for the million was a bit obvious - which just made it funny when we knew he was going to lose all his money.

But I think the girl who won it wasn't ahead in her heat, so she only got to the final because somebody folded when they were winning. I think if it was an ongoing series where the amounts were more like in the heats, risking 20 or 30 thousand for the chance to win 50k it would work well with a mixture of people losing from not folding and folding when they were winning, so all in all I think the format could be a good one.

i watched this all last week (only missed 2 shows) and found the format to be poor. But to be honest, gambling on 75k to win 1 million was a huge risk. especially since he didnt do very well on previous rounds. he should have cut his losses and walked away with 75. At that stage in the contest, the only way you can not fold is if you have had very good rounds ach and every time. the winner had which is why she didnt fold. BTW she is a professional quiz player and has been on a couple of other game shows as well. i expected her to win all along.

this show will not last more than 2 series, its easy to work out to fold or not. Simply look at average scores per round add what the winner of that round got and aim for this score. If you know your above it don't fold, you know you have good odds to win.
