The Definitive TV Poker Drinking Game
 

First, I have to admit that this idea isn't completely original. Someone suggested having a drinking game about a player whom I can't remember. But there isn't a topic dedicated to this, and I think that this deserves its own thread.

Now, most of you probably know what TV drinking games are. "Take one shot when Homer says 'D'oh!'", "Take one shot when Stewey says 'Victor is mine!'", etc.

But poker players are just are predictable as TV characters -- often even more so. Here are a few possible examples for a poker drinking game:

*** Take one shot if Sam Farha says "Raisy Daisy."

*** Take one shot if Norman Chad says "Whamboozled!"

*** Take one shot if Mike Matusow (and only Mike) laughs at his own joke. Take two shots if Mike playfully touches someone while making the joke.

*** Take one shot if Daniel Negreanu says exactly what his opponent is holding.

*** Take one shot if Phil Laak says something incoherent.

*** Take one shot if Phil Hellmuth mentions how many bracelets he has won.

*** Take one shot if AA is matched up against KK. Take two shots if one player ends up going all-in. Take three shots if another pocket pair is involved.

I'm not going to try to make the whole list myself. I'll leave that in your able hands. What would be some good drinking game rules for any TV poker show?

Pretty good game u got there, what are the best strategies iyo ?

Re: The Definitive TV Poker Drinking Game
 

Dangerous game....If you play take a shot every time Antonio says 'doctor X' or Jamie Gold acts like a douche, you'll end up in A+E getting your stomach pumped.

Re: The Definitive TV Poker Drinking Game
 

take a shot every time Harman twitchs her nose.

take 5 shots every time AJ says, cool million.

take a shot every time someone asks for insurance.

take a shot every time Laak over bets the pot.

Oh my god, I was so gonna have Mr_Mxyztplk as my name here...I decided against it, Kudos on the correct spelling.

This is not a game. It's a death sentence. Even just with Sammy Farha, Norman Chad, and Phil Laak, you're talking alcohol poisoning.

I think you would need to water down the alcohol if you want to survive this game!

Re: The Definitive TV Poker Drinking Game
 

How many shots do you have to take if Tilly's chest heaves when she has a monster hand. Or if she checks behind with a full house

Re: The Definitive TV Poker Drinking Game
 

Every time Doyle says something about "hurry up" or "being here to play poker"

Re: The Definitive TV Poker Drinking Game
 

Every time Sammy says "are you serious?". Any time DB says "floosh". Any time Doyle says "in the old days ...".

Re: The Definitive TV Poker Drinking Game
 

turn the shots into 'sips'.

one sip if Doyle takes off his hat.
one sip if Gold says anything like 'I have a good hand'
one sip if Greenstein discusses odds/chances at the end of a hand.

chug your beer if doyle wins with 10-2 (or AQ?)

Daniel says, that's what i thought you had
Gus Hansen tilts his head like he's trying to crack his neck
Phil Gordon laughs for no reason.

One shot of Disarrono every time you see a Disarrono commercial.

Re: The Definitive TV Poker Drinking Game
 

1 beer - each time a scene opens with a plastic enhanced cocktail waitress

1 shot of bourbon - each time AJ says the straddle is on

1 six pack - each time the player with the nuts says "how much is the bet?"

Re: The Definitive TV Poker Drinking Game
 

Drink whenever Sexton or Van Patten says "this is some amazing poker we're seeing"

Drink when they praise someone for making a huge bluff: "it takes heart to be a champion."

Drink when the fourth person jumps on the "let's make fun of Hellmuth" bandwagon.

Drink when Matusow complains about his bad luck or how hard it is to be him

Drink when Van Patten says something like "losing a hand like that will make you want to go out in the jungle and smear yourself in gorilla dung before hanging yourself with a very short vine."

Drink when Van Patten says someone has show tunes (or the theme song from "Beverly Hillbillies" or a Nestle Quick commercial) going off in his head

Drink when Negreanu giggles

Drink when Hellmuth explains that losing a hand is part of his masterplan to win many bigger hands later that game

Re: The Definitive TV Poker Drinking Game
 

Drink when Hellmuth complains about how badly other players are playing and how they don't even know how bad they are.
