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.

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...

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.

are you kidding????????that was horrid....only good thing was madsen...the poker scenes were like hip hop battles.....what a joke....if you saw nothing bad in it......then that tells me something about you...my wife doesnt even know that much about poker and she was telling me "that really makes poker look bad " that from a non poker player......i dont even mind that it made poker look bad as long as it was good t.v ....which it wasnt......id rather have a root canal than watch tilt again....im on tilt about watching tilt there i said it

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.
