Geez, get a grip. :roll:Oh I didn't know that since a show wasn't based on actual events that it was allowed to have cheesy dialogue and a sub-par plot. The next time I watch this show I'll say "Wow, this may be the worst I've ever seen, but it's okay because it's fiction."The most fictional thing about this "show, and I use the term "show" loosely, is the idea that it is somehow entertaining and/or useful.

rxq 0 Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Eight grand!! When I run out of toilet paper I wipe my a-s-s with eight grand. Nine if I had jelly.I can think of two letters that describe this showPU Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I cannot believe this was released. As I have voiced my displeasure in other posts i just cannot see how anyone found this entertainment. This is what TV has come to and ESPN who by many was thought to be different is just jumping on the money making train....I'm sorry if i want to see a show where a 12 year old girl is called expletives and all of a sudden 2pac and Ja Rule play poker I'll dream it up myself.

Suited_Up 2 Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 It's about poker, and it's some form of entertainment. It wasn't the best written show, but maybe it'll get better.... lol... seriously, it's possible. Either way... it's as good as playmakers was about football.... I'll watch it again, because it's about poker, and it interests me more than the other crap on tv. The whole muscleing the guy and breaking his leg thing was kinda stupid though... come on, just cheat and make your money. Link to post Share on other sites
