PPL show

FYI Oliver, you may want to fix that macro or whatever you're using. Adelson's the 3rd richest person in the US, not the world. World's Richest people. (Yes that list is old (as of 2/06) but I don't think everyone above him on the list dropped below him in net worth).

Dn talked about this a little bit more on his forums, here are the quotes:

Yes I am a captain. There will also be women in the league. So it won't exactly be the "top 64 players" in the world as certain slots will be given to women. Nothing against the ladies, but there simply aren't 8 women players that would rank in the top 64 IMO. Uh oh, now ladies will hate me too, lol blush.gif

Having said that, it's likely that my co-captain will actually be a lady. Luckily for me, she is a player that would rank in the top 64 easily.

I can assure you of one thing, Ivey and I will not be co-captains. That might be a little unfair to the other teams IMO.

Btw, the format will play a lot more like a cash game than a tournament. You won't necessarily see a "winner" at the end of each show- at least not in the traditional sense.

Blinds likely won't go up either...

Im liking the sound of this show quite a bit.

The Professional Poker LEAGUE (PPL) has officially accomplished its first objective as the "PPT-killer".

I would be very surprised to see the PPT re-surface in the U.S.

As I expected, WPTE will NOT buy its own TV time to air the PPT in the U.S. as long as WPTE is still getting CASH from The Travel Channel to air the WPT. Doing so would devalue the WPT TV product in the U.S. market.

Perhaps the PPT concept might be a better fit when WPTE takes its shot at CHINA in 2008.

That was the best idea evar! Instead of getting annoyed when you know who mentions you know what, let's make it a game. Side action could be made with the under/over of how many posts it would take before you know who mentions you know what.

I'll take a stab at it

The "You Know who" drinking Game

Take 1 Drink
-Everytime "You Know who" makes a post
-Everytime a post plugs his website/ an article he wrote on amother website
-Everytime a post includes TV ratings. (drink 2 if the ratings are or are later proven to be incorrect)
-Everytime he mentions Poker in another country
-Everytime he mentions "the death of Poker"
-Everypost about Endorsement deals.

Take 2 Drinks
- Everytime "You Know who" veers completely off topic and starts ranting about something no one cares about. (drink an extra drink his response is one the
first 5 responses to the OP.)
- Everytime "You Know who" mentions China. (If China is in all caps or boldfaced take an additional drink)
- Everytime uses the phrases: Time Buy, Macau, Lipscomb, Sexton, Orenstein, Poker School, "PPT Killer" or WPTE.
- Every post he makes about who was invited to invite only event that no one cares about (i.e. WPT ladies night) (Drink 2 additional for
every post after the first one)
- Every post about the difference between "Poker players" and "entertainment talent"

Take 3 drinks
- Everytime he insults a poster on this forum.
- Everytime he mentions working for ESPN.
- Anytime he makes a post that says the exact same thing an earlier post said.
- Anytime he give incorrect information and is corrected by Kevmath (or anyone else)
- For every post about WPTE trying to dominate the poker world
- For every post about Dutch Boyd or the NCAA

[Ignignokt]

I already think people are going to get seriously trashed playing this game (even more than they did playing the Ed Miller/Queer Eye drinking game!). But a couple of additions:

- Take 2 every time he avoids a question asking him for news on his quest to interview Dutch Boyd.

- Take 2 whenever he's corrected by someone else, but refutes that correction for an irrelevant reason.
