    Anybody following this? Fcuk me! what rivetting tv. I started watchin it last week when the wife was working late, she hates me playin poker, one of these girls that doesn't understand the game, thinks I need to go to gamblers anonymous thinks I'm gonna blow all my money, blah blah blah, much rather tell her I've been to a brothel than a casino. Anyway I sat her down and made her watch it the other night and she LOVED it! Wants to know all about the game, wants to learn to play, all of a sudden mad into it!! I can't believe it, I'll have to cancel those cyanide pellets. If you have a similar problem with the missus, get her to watch it, final table tonight though, maybe repeated sometime soon.

    Its great tv, pity it doesn't show even more of the play. Tonight is very good and the moves Andy make are just inbelieveable, in a bad way.

    I've known loads of people who start watching the poker on tv and its now had the Bigbrother effect on them, there just glued to it and they want to take the game up. My other half cant wait to go to Vegas to see these players play in the WSOP this year and she know's all there names and nicknames etc, but still doesn't know how to play. Even her Mum as ask me for lessions. They both think Ivy is the buz.lol

    They also cant believe the money involve. We also watch a lot of the WPT final tables on Player and Challenge

    I can't see what he has to complain about. He went in with the worst hand and came out with the worst hand. (KK VS. AA) He kept complaining that he never wins a race... fair enough, but he was a 4/1 dog in that hand. He still had about 5 million chips left after that hand and what does he do? Raises the pot with 8 5, and then reraises Andy Blacks 1 million bet... Stupid stuff in my opinion.


    While on the topic another player that gets to me is Phil Hellmuth... He was knocked out by a pair of 7s while he had AQ, and totally f**ks the guy over for going all in with 77, even stating that he himself had the better hand going in. Still very entertaining though.
