WPT Season 4: Doyle Brunson North American Poker Championship (4/12)

[Manimal 42]

What chowderhead producer thought to ask for/insist on the tape? It's not in the clips from earlier action.

Is this anti 2+2 ism? I mean, I've seen guys with warships on thier caps.

Who got the gig to go out and find tape that nearly matched the cap lol? ;~)

Why is the WPT set so unusually dark. Last year's Doyle Brunson NAP Championship with Juanda, Kido Pham, and Mortenson was so much lighter and livelier. And yes, Courtney Friel is absolutely abysmal, whether it be an exit interview or trying to talk to Doyle Brunson in the crowd. She is really bringing down the show, she has no enthusiasm for the game whatsoever.

Where's the tape? This invalidates the 'card rooms only' theory. It's obviously a no hat logo rule. :/

Lol at his nickname.

[Ghazban]

They're picking some strange hands to show. 2 preflop steals, 1 preflop raise followed by a flop takedown. I must admit its nice to see 4 names I recognize at the end.

I have not read any of the responses yet.... but is it just me or is this the worst episode ever? It seems like these guys are at a funeral. And the commentators trying extra hard to make it seem dramatic are not helping.

Also, did they ever give this Courtney chick a screen test? She is *terrible*!!?! I mean I knew she was terrible from Ep. 1.... but tonight there was a nail that broke the coffin's back.

Dear WPT: Please sell the rights to someone like NBC Sports who can actually put a decent broadcast together. You guys grew on me but this season has just been abysmal in pretty much every way.

Also, Tony's starting stack is hilarious to look at. What's that.. 6 chips?

They definitely should have colored him down with about 5 racks of black.

Man, Courtney Friel is weak. I never noticed how dull her personality is (I guess I was noticing other things before).

[chicagoY]

you are correct

a) courtney freil needs a cattleprod shoved up her ass, she has as much personality as a dead baby

b) sexton is killing me..."that's the great thing about no limit hold em, he bets with nothing and wins" or "there he is betting, hold em awards the bettor"

c) WTF is with the episode structure...3 hands, a 90 second segment, 10 minutes of commercials, rinse/repeat..

awful all around
