There's pretty much no way some BBV posters wouldn't criticize a documentary... it's either:

1) Too few girls
2) These guys aren't even good, or
3) These guys come off as douchebags

Unfortunately, like people say, it's hard to talk about winning a lot and not sound like a douche. So it was either pick a bunch of $30 SNG grinders or pick some people who win a lot of money. We went #2.

While I DO think it's possible to be very successful at poker at a young age without "sounding like a douche" all the time (could name a handful of examples), it might not make for an interesting documentary.

I'm sure part of what will make your movie fun to watch is that people will have to cringe every 10 minutes.

As i said before, the problem seems to be that the movie takes its subjects too seriously.

Yeah, sorry, but I have to agree with everyone else and say you guys come off as massive douchebags.

why all the hatin?

I dont think these guys looked like tools at all. Just normal college kids who also be winning lots of money. They didn't seem cocky or douchy at all (at least not in the trailer)

anyway, looks like it could be cool. I look forward to more

I agree w/ this.

I think it looks like a fun doc. Nat.

Anyone else think this would be better off without the "millions of dollars" intro black screen?

I know nothing about anything pretty much, especially videos, but "four college kids" "who play poker" would be interesting, and then straight to the lexus's and watches, we will get the point. I have that same car in black as the one shown in the video, I was starting to think it was an older man's car, glad to see some other young kids own it too.

J_V,

No, I didn't. You were incorrect. Why you said what you said is a mystery to me. Yes, there are plenty of people who make more than a bunch of young poker players - they are not 'normal'.

How many 21 year olds have as much money as high stakes poker players (non-inherited)?

My issue is with the word "baller," and unrelated to this video I guess. I might be wrong but while these people are having fun and have money, I wouldn't use the word "baller." I might be in the minority. I really hate that word though and wish it would go away.
