Default Re: NBC National Heads-Up Championship - Taping at Caesar\'s 3/4 - 3/6

I hope they televise it at a consistent time this year. Last year, I never knew it was on, (and I have yet to see the last episode, since all they replayed were the earlier ones -- atleast by me).

One of the times, they aired it by me at like 1:00 am instead of the time listed on their website.

Please, just air it at the same time every week. I wanted to watch every episode but missed half of them because the schedule was so crazy.

I'm not sure what your basis is for determining whether or not James Woods is a good player (nor am I interested), but clearly, NBC is interested in putting together a compelling TV product as well as a top-notch poker show. Take from that what you wish.

And, FWIW, James Woods nearly beat Johnny Chan last year.

now is this in the ARENA or banquet hall or the poker room?

I can't imagine this being in the poker room...

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm fairly certain this is being held in the poker room. The tournament room has more than enough room for 32 heads-up tables.

I was at Caesars Palace today and the tournament room was closed off. I assumed the room was already being prepared for the weekend's events.

They built that large tournament room for these kinds of things. Why wouldn't they use it?

[/ QUOTE ]

I just called the poker room...the entire room is open for the weekend, their tournaments are running...the filming is in the pokerroom but I guess it won't intefere regular players.

sounds interesting

Is this link supposed to prove that he can play? 24th place in a single WPT event, and nothing else of note? Anyone can finish barely in the money in a major tournament if they enter enough of them.

Honestly, I don't know whether James Woods is a good poker player. But he certainly can't be as good as he seems to think he is.
