Just downloaded this show. Holy cow, it sucks balls. Never seen such bad poker. At least Erica lost some pots in the beginning [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

The poker was actually better than I expected - it is, after all, an erotic production. There were some expert plays made. Check the first hand out for example:

It's a 6-handed table. The first two players fold and Traci raises it up to 50$ with 2h2c. Many weak players would just call here, but she knows that in such a fast structured sit 'n' go you have to put pressure on your opponents ASAP. Erica is on the button Qh8d. Knowing she is in excellent position and probably thinking she can outplay Traci post flop, she calls. Both blinds fold and we're heads up to the flop.

The flop reads 4sAhTc. Traci decides to make a probing bet of 50$, to see where she stands. Erica min-raises to 100$. Usually, in unlimited hold'em, minraises either mean weakness or extreme strength, so Traci is put to an extremely difficult decision early on in this hand. You see, she might have to face big bets on the turn and river, and THEN what do you do. That's the power of aggression. Anyway, Traci decides to make the call.

The turn is the 6d. Traci checks and Erica bets 100$. Traci now goes in the tank. This card shouldn't have helped Erica. Does she really have a monster here and is she value betting? Then Erica gives Traci an angry staredown. I think Traci picked up on this cause she called soon after that.

The river brings us the 7h. Traci checks and Erica quickly bets 200$. Traci again goes in the tank. Does she really think Erica is capable of making the three-barreled bluff? After a while she says "now I just wanna play to see what the hell she has!" (she must have seen Negreanu on High Stakes Poker). The other ladies go ROFL but Traci is starting to put two and two together, so to speak. If Erica had an ace, she probably would have raised pre-flop, especially in position. She might have flopped a pair of tens or fours, but why would she fire on all three streets, unafraid of Traci calling all the way. She probably knows Erica is a pro player and is capable of making big plays. But Erica was making the play against the wrong brunette and Traci calls.

Now Traci has to choose which player has to take one item of clothing off. Knowing that Erica is the only pro at the table and is sitting to her immediate left, she is a danger to her and she wisely decides Erica has to take one off, just to put her on tilt. Nice one, Traci [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
