just saw negreanu on that new t.v. show TILT, man he sure looks like he's been pumping iron or taking seriods or soemthing, the guy looks like he's got 8 dress shirts on. i wonder if seriods'll improve my game?yeah that TILT show sucks big time, a room full of pros and a casino president scamming outter towners in a lousy $50-$100 nl ring game, pls. 8 pros and a casino president (making millions a yr) splitting a profit of $32k (whao). the show got really ridiculous when the poker champ raises the $50-$100 blinds to $4k w/ 4-6 (suited of course) then the poker chump reraises another $4k w/ pocket dueces (ah yes slow playing the all so powerful mighty ducks) on the button. pretty sure they hired a professional poker analyst for scenes like this and i'm pretty sure they're looking for his replacement this week. boy they sure have low standards for the american viewers these days but judging by the things u see on t.v., i don't blame them.(hating a t.v. show doesn't mean u won't watch it) Grass Da 55

eric seidel is the poker consultant on the show along with various other pros who stop by the set. but yes, agreed, the show sucks bigtime. i just cant wait till all the people at the casino tommorrow are sayign stuff like "i played it like i had a pair" or "i guess youve never been to newark" or "next case!" still gonna watch in hopes it gets better.p.s. the view from "lowball's" office looks so digitally spliced in its rediculous.

eric seidel, u got to be kidding me. if i was him i'll run as far away from this project as i can. this show'll only lower his standard. the acting is bad, the plot's not believable. who the hell rigs a satellite tourney that pays off one spot, it's the dumbest idea ever in a poker show of any kind. lollol

No string bets, b-tch!!!

[superchuck]

fine. (dramatic pause, puills out slightly larger gun) i re-raise bi*ch!

[braminc]

couldnt agree with you guys any more. the table talk is completely unrealistic to the point where every bet, call, raise, fold constitutes a string of poker cliches. not what a real poker table will ever sound like, strangers or friends.....hwatever though, i think this is what we all expected. poor michael madsen

Yeah that show is really bad. I was hoping for something much better. Well Im out of here. This is a little off topic but I was at a high limit game the other day and My twelve year old sister raised some guy seven grand. Who knows where she got it or why the hell she was there. lol. FOSSILMAN OUT

SERIOUSLY, no background on why she is playing that high of stakes at the age of 12. great story.

How about the scene for the next episode where the matador is whoring off his daughter to eddie. I am really hoping that girl isnt really his daugther, otherwise that would be one of the most messed up scenes in tv history. Also in tonights episode the guy shoulda known that table was crooked when the matador raises utg without looking at his cards. I mean seriously there are like 8 people left to act. Actually made its not that strange after all.

This show was soooooooooo horrible. Everyhand they showed was some big confrontation where a really good hand gets beat by the nuts. ALthought good for drama, really not realistic. ALso what's up with the cast?2 guys from third watch...Some blonde bitch...A broke down DMX...THe show would have been better without any notable actors. That way the viewers feel like they are watching real pros.Also not one Asian character?? Please!Also way too complex of a story.Would have been more interesting if they just showed an up an comer making his way and all the new stuff in Vegas he is exposed to. Like Negreanu's early years, I am sure those were interesting.Unfortunately I will probably still watch the show....lol

anyone see negreanu in the 1998 wsop championship where scotty nguyen won. he was in the audience and actually walked to the front in the end trying to get some seconds on t.v.. he looked like a total amatuer w/ baggy shorts and a over sized t-shirt. so hilarious!!!

The thing I think is the most sad is that ESPN replays the show 15 times in a row, I WANNA WATCH NFL LIVE AND HEAR ABOUT MY RAMS!

Ha! I can totally see Raymer in "comic-book man voice" This is the worst...show...ever. ..FOSSILMAN....OUT!Obviously just someone messing around, but that's pretty funny.

It also seems that they are also trying to make Lowball and Matador into the Shelly character from the Cooler except they missed, I was paying attention to many other things while the show was on, it really kept me riveted, lol
