Online Pros Try for ‘2 Months, $2 Million’ in New Poker Reality Series

A new poker reality series titled “2 Months, $2 Million” is set to air on cable channel G4 starting in August. Set in Vegas, the show tracks four young poker pros – Jason “pr1nnyraid” Rosenkrantz, Brian “flawless_victory” Roberts, Emil “whitelime” Patel, and Dani “Ansky” Stern – as they attempt to win a combined total of $2 million in two months playing online poker. Over the course of ten half-hour episodes, the show will feature the online poker exploits of the four pros, who are pooling their bankrolls, with a liberal amount of Vegas partying thrown in to keep things lively.

As much as I and most poker forum regulars would love to watch this sort of show, I don't see it being a success. The general public will have *no* interest in following internet poker.

I'm expecting the show to be done as a documentary with very little actual online play and more of a regular daily update on their progress + exciting night life.

I hope I'm wrong about this show not being popular, because I am looking forward to it.

i even get bored with my online playing. i don't see how watching another guy clicking away for 30 min then getting smashed at the local bar will be all that interesting.

If they're playing online why are they going to Vegas?
Hank's tenure at Soulsuckers, INC, LLC, DBA TBD, had not been long, but it had been distinguished... By drunkenness, hair-trigger violence, and a total lack of performance. I would call it a steady decline in performance, but that would imply that he performed at one point in time. In fact he had not. He was drunk.

I hope this is an underground sensation. I think there's a lot of potential tv stars here.
