for some reason their 15 keeps going and going and going.. didn't they have their wedding televised, now this and a return to survivor all star challenge i believe.

This show is so bad it's good -like the wreck you just can't help slowing down to rubberneck. Daniel's participation makes me question when he crossed the line from poker pro to tv reality star...

Thanks. Whoever they interviewed was me. Y'all will get a kick out of how this hand went down:

Ten minutes into the session, him and I are only players with full stacks of $1k, ten handed. He limps UTG, I raise MP w/KTo, five of us to the flop. Comes KTx two diamonds, he opens for $30, I pop it to $120, folds around, he makes it... $1k? "I decided to make a move, and whaddya know he called with two pair."

I was disappointed however because they knew who I was and chose to not mention anything... not even a name. They were talking about how good it would be for TV that he got busted by a Vegas pro so quickly, but I suppose they decided to put a different spin on the show. At least they didn't spin me off to make me look like a dick!

Was it weird when he came in with a camera crew in tow? Casinos usually ban video cameras, so you must have known it was something out of the ordinary. I think I would have taken a whizz until they left.

They also went deep in The Amazing Race.

It was all pre set-up. I was playing at the Wynn and got a call from a floor guy at the Venetian. He told me that he had a game I needed to be in and it was going to be televised. So I showed up. We all had to sign release papers and then kinda sat around waiting for Rob to show up. We probably had played five hands before he sat down. Makes me love the "As soon as I sat down somebody recognized me" comment. Not weird with the cameras. Was a good time actually.

LOL this show is pretty funny so far. I'm pretty sure it's just an infomercial for Vegas. Amber took a tour of the Signature and asked how much it went for AFTER the cameras got a good tape of the place. Rob is wayyy too dumb to make it as even a winning poker player, much less a pro. I think Daniel hit a bad run of cards last year and agreed to do the show so he could still afford to have his mom bring him sammiches in the middle of games.

OH FYI it's on Fox Reality channel.

Negreanu giving lessons in his bathrobe is a little weird.

They say that the average lottery winner is broke in 7 years. I guess we're just witnessing the process.

Made me kinda wonder how much this is coming out of their TV show's budget, though. It could be that they're living off the show.

I have to think that Vegas businesses are paying for all this advertising time.
