On this Thursday is TILT Episode 4. The show has progressivly got better and the character developement has also evolved. At first I thought I wasn't going to like this show, but it's one of the best shows to come out in a long time! WATCH IT!!

The blonde finally has enough cash to play in the big game, and will get busted by white guy and Matador. Matador: Take that stack over there (high roller)Blonde: Not big enough yet.later that night...White guy: I don't know if I'll be objective enough.Any others? How about Russ G making a cameo?

.ooooooooo1% ???? well i am in that percentage too ... I think the show is awesome. I am new to the poker scene and think it has a lot more substance then a ton of other shows that are on.... I can't wait to see what happens with the show in the future. AmyJean

I too am a fan of TILT... because I realize that it is FICTION. Not everything has to be reality TV, it's nice to see something that doesn't involve eating something I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole or picking a future wife from a bunch of hookers.

EXACTLY !!!I think the people that dont like the show are the True players and think that the show will give poker a bad name, but the people that would think thats what its really like are the same people that think all those reality shows are realI never saw anything on TILT that said REAL.... its entertainment and it entertains me so I am going to watch it !!!!!whos with me???lol

[The Future]

Hahaha, I consider myself a true player and still like TILT. Wait? Reality Shows aren't real... so, you are telling me that "The Interns" is going to be scripted? I'm pretty sure he really wanted to join the mile high club... writers aren't that good! THANKS!LOL

I'm a fan because Madsen's screen presence is awesome.It's a cheap thrill, but watchable.

Don't worry. There's other sane people out there, IveyFan! Yes, Tilt is about as bad as it gets. The cheesy poker table talk is actually pretty funny... unintentionally of course.Here's a link to a pretty humorous, if a bit long, review of the first episode.http://www.livejourn...sers/groanblog/

I enjoy watching TILT because of it's entertainment value. TILT appeals to anyone who has an interest in poker and that is what's so great about it. No matter if you are a professional or a weekend player you can watch the show and be entertained. If nothing else, watch the show because the Apprentice is getting about as old as Amarillo Slim.

I thought the third episode was excellent. A dramatic improvement from the first two. This next episode will be key in determining whether the series can be called a success. Based on last week's effort, this fourth one *should* be good. It will be interesting to see if it meets that standard.

That's the point I am trying to make. So many people around here are trying to compare this program to real life poker and you can't do that. If you do, you will hate the show and say it sucks. If you look at the show as fictional or like a movie broken down into many parts, you will really begin to appreciate this show and it's characters. 8)

Madsen is a fantastic actor and the perfect man to play the Matador!

this episode looks like the best yet

I can't wait for the big showdown between the Matador and Miami. She's going to take him down. It appears Eddy has fallen' to the dark side. You can't blame him though. Just take one look at Matador's daughter and you'll understand why

Don't bother Ivey, man. This is the WE-LOVE-TILT thread. Many many people agree with you, but not the people gushing in this thread. But they're entitled to watch overdramatized trash if they're having a good time watching it. Lots of people like pro-wrestling too, who cares.By the by, I don't hate it because it's so obviously fake, I hate it for the poor scripting, the horrible acting (by all but 1 or 2 people), and most of all the extremely bad overdamatization.But again, this is the WE-LOVE-TILT thread, so I won't post here anymore.ps. I still want the hour back of my life that I wasted watching episode 1
