It's like a car wreck. Hard to NOT take a peek.

However, without Negreanu, Matusow, Sheiky, or Laak + Esfandiari, it's just too dull, most of the time.

I'd be shocked if it comes back in 2008. I still think Championship week (Moneymaker etc.) was more boring than Ladies week.

PAD:
Born:2007
Died:2007
RIP.

Hopefully, NBC will soon develop their own version of Two and a Half Men, starring Negreanu, Matusow, and Tony G as the kid.

Jennifer Tilly and Fran Drescher could play the girlfriends.

Phil Laak and Antonio Esfandiari could play themselves, as a gay couple, that live next door.

Special Guest stars could include: Humberto Brenes as Poncho, the gardener; Cyndi Violette as Meg Ryan and Clonie Gowen as Trixie, the hooker with a heart of gold.

They could call it, The End of the World. Now that's what I call, Must See Tv. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

1) I like PAD
2) if you are that good, why aren't you on PAD?
3) Are you famous like any one of those ladies?
4) You don't look as good as any of those ladies, even the ugly ones.

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.
