Well I guess all of you Americans are lucky enough to be able to watch the new Professional Poker Tour one the Travel Channel tommorrow night at 9pm.
But those of us that are stuck in Canada we are not able to watch it. I am deeply depressed. I'm not exactly sure why our Travel Channel is completely different than the American version of it. If anyone in Canada knows where and/or when it will be on in Canada could you please let me know.

Thank you for your time- Mongoosey

Get satellite TV and watch whatever you want.

But you guys get the protege airing and we don't Anyway, the word of the day is "torrents"

Torrents?










































































































AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Can't wait to see it. Should be a lot of great poker with only pros playing.

ans its a real tournament strucutre not like the stupid WPT final tables
we will actually see "real poker" being played

Are they only going to show final tables? It would be great to see them earlier in the tournaments with deep stacks and small blinds.

It'll follow preceding days. That's one of the "selling points".

i thought it was ok last night
the players made some terrible plays especially raymer but it was better then all in every other hand

the announcers kind of suck. The play was super loose early on especially around the button. Raymer pushed into a set of queens with Q7o lol ...big time donkey.

i like the layout of this thing, i think it's definitely set the precedent for televised poker.

i enjoy it, but i think we are seeing some loose play since it is a freeroll.

Even josh arieh yelled at chris bigler about taking too long to make a decision because it was a freeroll

Yeah its funny cause they keep trying to pump it up and say how important it is to each of the pros to try and win it. And the pro's keep smacking it down saying how its only a freeroll quit being such a drama queen about each hand.

did mark seif not qualify for it ? Wondering why he is announcing instead of not playing in it.

Win the WSOP, then the following year beat 5600 others and finshes 26th

then talk

Anyone else annoying by the commentating on the KK v JJ hand between Bigler and Arieh. They kept saying Josh could have anything because hes aggressive but Josh seriously isnt dumb enough to make that play with anything the Bigler had beat, maybe AK




I think they offered him the annoucer job and he took it. I mean come on. If RObert Varkonyi qualified, how could Mark Seif not qualify

Is it me or do they show a lot of fukin commercials! They show like 2 hands then there done.

lol well i have won two negreanu opens for a wopping 700 dollars of prize money besting fields of well over 100 both times which i believe entitles me to comment Raymer can play tournament poker that much is obvious however his success does not mean he isn't a donkey. You see how Raymer went out of pokerstars III ? ...pushing 54 sooted into Chan's AA. HU championship he busts like a chump pushing with crap into DN. 2004 TOC ? pushing a garbage hand into annie duke and effectively giving her the chips to win the tourney and unleashing the horror that is annie duke on the rest of the world...

for this reason alone i will always think of him as a donkey.

For me the PPT is EXACTLY what i've been looking for in a show.
Freeroll smeeroll, there's a prize pook and that's real money.

I've always wanted to see how my play in mid-stages of a tourney stacks against the pro's.

IMO this is a real dangerous show for the pro's giving people like us who play and post on boards (die hard net players) a chance to see the most critical stages in tourney.

If they do it again they should make it a 10K buyin or otherwise seriously up the prize pool. I get the feeling that a lot of players aren't taking it seriously. Still pretty decent coverage though. Much better than WPT. For some reason I found the USPC coverage some of the best overall though.
