Re: PAD 3 matches revealed

Re: PAD 3 matches revealed
 

Sam Grizzle will be sitting at the table with Philly dilly? I gotta watch that!

Re: PAD 3 matches revealed
 

Jam up - Guaranteed action

What is Lederer doing there? They shoulda got Sammy Farha instead!

Re: PAD 3 matches revealed
 

why is howard lederer at an action table?

Re: PAD 3 matches revealed
 

gus and the ladies made me lol, straight pimpin

Re: PAD 3 matches revealed
 

Gus and ladies should be renamed to Gus and the MILFs. (Except for JJ Liu)

Re: PAD 3 matches revealed
 

I always thought a Bride's Maid match (people who came in 2nd at the Main Event) would be cool.

dewey tomko should be gtded a seat for doing it twice

Re: PAD 3 matches revealed
 

If I could pick my opponents to play against in PAD I would just get 5 people from 10NL and get NBC to pay for their buy-ins. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ] it would be very tempting to do a extremely tough line up just to say you played with them. Like Ivey, Barry, Doyle, DN, and Hellmuth for entertainment.

Re: PAD 3 matches revealed
 

It's about time Scotty gets selected. I've been waiting for him to appear on PAD.

been thinking about it more, they would put more name players in it. the lineup would look more like this

dewey tomko
tj cloutier
farha
david williams
erik seidel
last spot is tough, maybe gardner? or wasicka, he seems to be slightly more visible on the circuit

though if people who won the ME but also finished 2nd count (not likely), doyle and chan would have to fit in somewhere

Re: PAD 3 matches revealed
 

c'mon put Chad Batista in there!

Re: PAD 3 matches revealed
 

Do they always have to have some motif? Why is a random table of six name players not good enough anymore?

Re: PAD 3 matches revealed
 

all about the gimmicks

Re: PAD 3 matches revealed
 

love at first raise should be immense (not poker wise), interesting to see how they all fare together, sexual tensions etc.

This almost happened this past season. Don't rule it out for a future PAD season, though it may not be that exact group of 2nd place finishers.

FWIW If I'm that dude and I got to pick my opponents at least I'd try to give myself a chance...I mean WTF he be hatin on Jerry Yang or something.

- JA

Re: PAD 3 matches revealed
 

Guess Ken figures he's gonna lose anyway. Might as well have fun in the process.

Re: PAD 3 matches revealed
 

I can`t wait for Erica to start taking her clothes off after every pot she loses, followed by:
"Why am I the only one doing this?"

Re: PAD 3 matches revealed
 

Can't believe Vanessa "Lady Maverick" Rousso is back. That bietch is soo fxxxing annoying. Last show she was on she would not shut up. I really hope she gets busted first, otherwise I won't be able to watch.

But you`d hit it..correct?

Re: PAD 3 matches revealed
 

Some good tables and a few terrible ones. Sam Grizzle table should be fun, but the womens table was terrible the first time and I dont see Gus changing it enough for it to be good and the couples table is gonna be unwatchable.

Im glad that Gavin will be in a few episodes and Im surprised the haven't had him on before. I dont know why they are having Berry Johnson on wtf and for some reason I really dislike Robert Willaimson and have no desire to watch him play.

Re: PAD 3 matches revealed
 

Some facts about Berry Johnston for those who may not be familiar with him:

He is the 1986 World Series of Poker Champion.

He has more cashes in the Main Event of the World Series than any other player.

He has cashed at the World Series 26 years in a row, also a record.

He trails only Phil Hellmuth, Men Nguyen, and T.J. Cloutier for most WSOP lifetime cashes.

He was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in 2004.

He has lifetime tournament winning in excess of $3.1 million.

Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing him play.

yeah, I just took the 2nd placers from the last 6 years, that's a more tv friendly lineup.

Re: PAD 3 matches revealed
 

How in the world did Howard Lederer get into the Action table ?!?!?!?!?
Gus and the Ladies lolololol (isn't he gay?)

The hecklers table should be by far the funniest to watch, Matusow Hellmuth and Sheikhan at the same table? As Sam Farha would say "Are you cerious?"

Re: PAD 3 matches revealed
 

For anyone who hasn't seen Sam Grizzle vs Phil Hellmuth, it is on YouTube right now.

Episode 4/6 has the most hysterical moment but the entire series is very amusing to watch.
