Default Re: poker after dark

I've seen a few episodes, I am annoyed at some of the BS hands they show, bet raise fold or call, BB check, flop misses both, one bets, other folds.

Vanessa is the slowest *BLEEP* I have ever seen for a supposed pro. (Tiffy doesn't count)

One of the "gimmicks" of the show is they show almost every hand. This is poker. Every hand can't be top two pair vs. bottom set.

That being said, watching every can be boring at times and this is magnified greatly when they invite nitty players who can make certain episodes nearly unwatchable.

Watching every hand can be boring, but it's also refreshing in a way. We NEVER get to see the way pros play the unexciting hands in most televised poker.

Although there is a risk... if the fish see poker coverage that shows every hand, they may stop going all-in so often thinking they're "playing like the pros on TV," and it could be harder to win money from them.

Guess it's a good thing PAD is on late at night!

It’s either a late night infomercial or PAD. I choose PAD because I find that infomercials tend to leave a sick feeling in my stomach. The same sick feeling I get when I have been over charged for cheap booze.

Plus there is always Shana’s quality insight to look forward to.
