game over........... this is so sad changing channel now

Re: Annie duke takes on the world...
 

I have now seen the most inane and irritating poker show ever created. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

The announcer/dealer needs to be torn from limb to limb. Annie Duke should officially resign from playing poker ever again. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

The poker on King of Vegas is better than this sappy crap. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

The Professor should officially disavow any relationship with the centerpiece. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Gods, what a mistake that was. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]




I saw 4 minutes of the end of this show. The above is the result [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Re: Annie duke takes on the world...
 

Fortunately, this will be the last time it'll be on the air. As Oliver has mentioned, this was a pilot that was thought up when poker was at its "peak" (Insert usual talk of ratings here).

Re: Annie duke takes on the world...
 

i think i became a worse player after watching that show, Not only that but the host was giving way to much compliments on her looks, either he hasn't been outside much or he has a very weird taste in women.

I agree.

I've sat through at least one episode of pretty much every poker show out there. I willingly watched every episode of "Tilt."

But this show defeated me. I tried to watch it, but 15 minutes in... I had to give up. I fast-forwarded through to the end and tried to watch heads-up... but I had to fast-forward through that too.

It's really bad, and not even in a "so bad it's entertaining" kinda way. UGH.

Re: Annie duke takes on the world...
 

I kept wanting to see the matador break into that game and cut everyone down.

It would only be good if somehow we could have mike and the bots (of MST3K fame) lampoon it.

Instead of poor man's Harlan Williams as dealer, they should have just had Harlan Williams as dealer. Would have made the show watchable.

(I think the dudes name is harlan williams, 7 minute abs guy)

Re: Annie duke takes on the world...
 

Funny thing is she was not acting - she is just as flakey IRL. Wonder who picked the wardrobe. Geesch, I think she would have been better off in her jenes and pink T.

Re: Annie duke takes on the world...
 

It's a good thing I missed this then. lol

Re: Annie duke takes on the world...
 

The cohost guy?? is worse than terrible.

Re: Annie duke takes on the world...
 

Relax, people.

GSN executives:

1. Chose NOT to promote the Annie Duke pilot during 1st run episodes of High Stakes Poker;

2. Chose to slot the Annie Duke pilot 3 weeks after High Stakes Poker finished its run; and

3. Chose to slot the Annie Duke pilot during May "sweeps", against the heaviest competition of the year on the TV calendar.

GSN basically did EVERYTHING it could to "grease the skids" to ensure a low household rating so that GSN is not obligated to pick up the option for a full season of the show.

All for very good reasons. The show was a disaster.

Re: Annie duke takes on the world...
 

Did I hear correctly? Did the host actually refer to Duke as a MILF?

Hmmmm....

Re: Annie duke takes on the world...
 

This show was terrible, from the host checking out her ass to the terrible play of Dr. K to the obviously rigged headsup match...total crap.

The host checking out her ass was obviously rigged as well,
Judging by his mannerisms I am sure he would much rather have been checking out the rear of the guy she was playing then her.

Re: Annie duke takes on the world...
 

I had this sitting on my DVR and decided to watching it thinking it couldn't be as bad as you guys were making it sound. I can watch pretty much anything related to poker and actually kind of like Annie Duke yet even I couldn't make it through 10 minutes of this garbage.

Re: Annie duke takes on the world...
 

I missed it and sadly it will probably never re-air... well not sadly, thankfully.

Re: Annie duke takes on the world...
 

One thing that drove me nuts besides everything else mentioned here, was this:

Blinds 200/400. button folds, SB makes it 1200 to go. (3xbb), which was a good raise, the bb now makes it 2400 to go.

Annie says: "this is the minimum raise allowed". Incorrect! SB raised 800 more. The next raise is the amount of the last bet or raise, not double the raise to amount. BB can make it 2000 as the minimum raise, not 2400.

This show was awful, the host is a putz, the players are laughable, Annie offered NOTHING new to viewers whatsoever.

Re: Annie duke takes on the world...
 

Well, thanks alot, you assholes have now forced me to actually watch this to see just how bad it is. I was able to resist when it was only a few posts moaning, but now that this is a legitimate long thread I must torture myself.

According to the GSN website it is being repeated thursday.
Wish me luck.

Annie's new guy probably wanted to make her look like a 40 year old version of his ex - Shannon Elisabeth. If he did, he needs to try again.

Re: Annie duke takes on the world...
 

What channel is this on?

Re: Annie duke takes on the world...
 

Not positive, but I think every single post in this thread mentions the name of the channel this is on.

Re: Annie duke takes on the world...
 

GSN turned to a premium channel a while back and I'll be damned if I pay the $3 a month just to see how bad this is.

Oh well, if only there existed another way to get the show...

Re: Annie duke takes on the world...
 

Looks like GSN has another 'Poker' show that was announced at the same time as ADTOTW...

Wow, GSN does an incredible amount of gimmick poker shows. I guess they get ratings..

Re: Annie duke takes on the world...
 

I doubt GSN moves the Neilson needle.

Re: Annie duke takes on the world...
 

Their ratings are dwarved by the networks of course, but GSN pays the bills with their ad rates based on ratings just like anybody else.

Re: Annie duke takes on the world...
 

I can't even believe how awful that announcer guy was. Well, at least from the 3 or 4 minutes I watched. But I was happy, because high stakes poker is great and used to come on in this time slot so I had to decide between it and 24, but now I can just watch 24 and then watch hsp afterward.

I hadn't seen the new Annie Duke show, but had moderate interest in watching it. This review right here has made me vow NEVER to watch it now.

P.S. she has a very gummy smile

Re: Annie duke takes on the world...
 

How about comparing them to say FOX or Travel channels.

I am guessing a fraction too. I can look it up and just might.

Re: Annie duke takes on the world...
 

I was really put off by the way that Annie carried herself during heads up.

In the second hand she put all of her hand post flop as a significant dog and sucked out.

Then she had the nerve to talk about how every hand after that (in which her now short stacked opponent would push pre-flop) she made a big deal about how she was ahead each time.

Putting down your amateur guests as a form of self-promotion is just terribly bad in my opinion.

Re: Annie duke takes on the world...
 

I just finished watching the show and wanted to say HOW THE HELL can I get on the show!
Anytime I can gain ANY information on Poker I take full advantage of. The show has short commings like the announcer - that sexiest turd has to go - but as one who just started watching and playing poker this show has some promise - If anyone out there knows how to get on the show let me know. For the rest of you - your comments are taken in the manner you posted "negitive", I will not discredit the show until after I have all the information needed to deside for myself - Mrs. Duke will and has the ability to do a better show, after some refinement, for all you "PRO-Poker players" who have posted negitive comments on this web site why don't you try to get on the show yourself? THEN I will take your negitive comments as the truth, in the mean time lets pull togeather and help by being the next players on the show, If there is going to be another show. And tell me that you would turn down a chance to be on the show - I think not. See ya at the table!
