Watching that "ultimate poker garbage" on the telly - surely it must be the worst ever....

some random quotes :

"If I get to the final table, I will push people around - If they let me" - wooo scary...

"Todd brunson re-raising here (headsup) with AK - thats a really good play" - pure genius

Then, one of the worst plays I have ever seen - matey boy re-raises it up pre flop, then some stupid woman bluffs off all her chips on the flop. not surprisingly she was behind.


bring on the Will Hill GP.

I take it your not at home on Wednesday nights then?  ;goodvevil;

Ahem.....

well have you seen the garbage they show on challenge tv and all-in tv on a wednesday?

 ;whistle;

sorry - i forgot, your busy on wednesdays aren't you? :)up

A random person at the casino on Monday described a TV personality as  a " that dirty old pervert from PNL" wonder who that was? had me in stiches.

PMSL

Must be Michelle or Lynsey - I noticed them both giving me the eye recently.

 :D

For truly awful poker TV just add the word 'poker' and 'celebrity' throw in some tool from hollyoaks and bingo, cacktastic TV that nobody will watch. The ultimate poker challenge is weird though, it looks like it was made in the 70's but is only a year old. Also there's this low back ground hum of the casino on the commentary which is really annoying.

The Celebrity Poker Showdown (or whatever it's called) from across the pond has to be the worst. Annoying beyond belief.

i just watched that same episode on 'Bravo 2' lol

the three hands that they showed heads up was shockingly in favour of Todd

hand 1 - james A9, Todd 99 (todd reraised, and took it)
hand 2 - james A7, Todd AK(todd reraised and took it)
hand 3 - James A10, Todd AA(Todd raises, james reraised and todd pushed, james calls and rivers a straight lol)

I enjoyed it, the banter was class.

 naming no names but

 the one with Grub Smith commentating is a joke ,

 i was watching this shit and the very first hand of a sit n go , somebody has 33 in middle position , blinds at 10/20

 Grub Smith - '' i dont like the flat call there , everybodys passed round to him ( 3 players ) , id like to see a raise there ,

 a bet of 2 or 300 would be making a statement , but lets see how he does . ''

 yeah lets put a bet of 15 big blinds in on the very first hand with 33 and then fold when an A , K or Q comes on the flop

 Grub eh ? that would be making a statement , - '' im a fecking fish '' i believe

I have to agree here - if this was the series in which John McCririck flat called on the turn a decent proportion of his stack with just a gutshot straight draw, hit the nuts on the river and then folded.  Although that vignette was almost too good to be true, the rest is just nonsense.

Blinds are never 10/20 on these tv tournaments?? And if (and I'm assuming) its the usual 6 handed format, then raising with 33 in middle position is not bad play. Blinds I'm also presuming are 100/200 - these tv tournaments like to have lots of chips and large blinds. But if its 10/20 as you suggest then the raise of 15 big blinds is rather large :) 3x the BB and then when a big card comes of the flop you bet out and represent strength....... Maybe I'm just a big fecking fish too but it seems to work. :) If you hit and so does he, its so much better.

Not optimal strategy for a single table gig where the winner takes all, but you do have to accumulate chips even if you are starting only 5 places "from the money".

 it was a show like pnl , online poker and it was a $20 sit n go

 not great strategy in my mind to raise to 300 ( out of 2000 ) in middle position with 33

 but Grub '' would like to have seen '' it

Ahh, well in that case fair enough :) Grub needs a lesson from Tank and Wardonkey in optimum STT strategy.
