And FWIW you started with 2k in chips- don't think these calls were so dubious probably considering the awful structure Title: Re: Derren Brown training a pensioner to play poker C4 now Post by: gatso on June 26, 2009, 11:14:21 AM lol- she was only playing for a couple of weeks- u expected her to be Phil Ivey? obv not, that's the point derren seemed to think he could turn her into ivey. he failed Title: Re: Derren Brown training a pensioner to play poker C4 now Post by: steeveg on June 26, 2009, 11:16:56 AM i assume its a repeat ,dont think its really about teaching people how to play poker,its teaching her to recognise facial expressions,when they are weak or trying to bluff, then she is just getting the money in ahead.

They workd a lot of voices too.
I assume he must have included maths but they didn't show that I don't think? Love watching this last time - she was unlucky to loose that last hand. |
