I cant believe Danny N. would be involved in something like this. Not only was the show terrile and un-entertaining it ruined pokers repuation after all the hard work people like Danny have put into making poker acceptable. People jumping poeple at the table, the cheating in big tournmaments and side games, yea thats gunna get people to play more cards.

wow.....WAY OFF.....The show was great. Sure it might...MIGHT...ruin a small portion of pokers reputation. But it was great, Everyone....most people....know that that does NOT really happen in casinos. The show was great, I personally think there was nothing bad about it.

totally agree...show was a piece of crap....i expected more from the writers of rounders,,,maybe my first mistake...dialogue was cheesy, the poker scenes were laughable, it was like what mtv would think poker is all about...terrible for the game,,,problem is that it will probably be a hit...

Well haven't you figured out just to take what Eddie says and believe the opposite?
I'm not a professional poker player, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

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.

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.

Chili... not Jelly... not sure what happens when you eat jelly, but for me it's business as usual.

Yeah this seems like kinda Love it or hate it show....not too many mixed feelings. But, yeah If you loved it youll watch it next week for obvious reasons. If you hated it youll watch it next week just to critize it on the internet again.
