Guest Dmann2000 Report post Posted April 23, 2003 I was wondering if anyone here watches World Poker Tour on the Travel Channel. I never thought I'd get addicted to watching 2 hours of poker but the show is so cool. It's on tonight (weds) 9-11pm and rerun at 12AM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest razazteca Report post Posted April 24, 2003 I watch it sometimes, I also like to watch the World Series Championship games on ESPN and enjoy the show Lucky on FX. I also play Hold Em Poker in Yahoo, I have won $4500. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted April 24, 2003 I watch those on ESPN sometimes. They're boring, but fun to watch at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're boring, but fun to watch at the same time. the Travel Channel one has spycams so you can see the players cards - it makes it more interesting. Plus seeing the Vietnamese guy with the mullet again is pure gold... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted April 24, 2003 I love watching poker and pool. I love the women and the professional trich shooters. That guy with they grey beard and hair (forget his name) is awesome and funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moral suasion 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2003 I really want to watch the one on the Travel channel but have never seen it on. The commercials for it are really good. I watch the poker tourneys on ESPN sometimes. They are cool but difficult to follow. I LOVE watching the pool on ESPN. Both straight pool and trick shot magic are super cool. ESPN should air more pool and poker, and less "World's Strongest Man" competitions during the afternoon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted April 24, 2003 I dig the old seventies and early eighties World's Strongest Men shows where you have Ken Patera taking on Lou Ferrigeno. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest starvenger Report post Posted April 24, 2003 I dig the old seventies and early eighties World's Strongest Men shows where you have Ken Patera taking on Lou Ferrigeno. I saw Lou Ferrigno a couple of times at comicons. You have to meet him in person to appreciate how big he actually is... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted April 24, 2003 I met him and George the Animal Steele at a Comicon in Pittsburgh once. Lou was charging way too much for photos, but he seemed like a friendly guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nanks Report post Posted April 24, 2003 I watch it for the commentary. Any guy who can get excited commentating a card game is value. Same with darts, the commentary is hilarious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest razazteca Report post Posted April 24, 2003 The game was good how the eventually champ with a 4,3 hand out bluffed his opponet who had a pair of Jacks! And at the end made him go all in which resulted with the winning hand of a Diamond Flush. I want to go to the Casino now...........hey its only an hour away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CanadianChris Report post Posted April 24, 2003 You should see it when Phil Hellmuth is on. He makes John McEnroe look like Wayne Gretzky as far as boorish behaviour goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest starvenger Report post Posted April 24, 2003 You should see it when Phil Hellmuth is on. He makes John McEnroe look like Wayne Gretzky as far as boorish behaviour goes. Yesterday he got seriously outplayed though. It was one of those games where he could do only 2 things: nothing and like it. Who won yesterday, btw? I only watched about the 1st hour of the midnight airing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Tino Standard Report post Posted April 24, 2003 The poker tournaments and pool matches on ESPN definitely rock the casbah over strongman competitions... with one notable exception: Flipping through the channels about a month ago, my roommate saw Nathan Jones (yes, THAT Nathan Jones) in a strongman/arm wrestling tournament. Nathan got absolutely PUNKED by some guy half his size named Magnus. Good times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too bad the magician didn't win. It was just hilarious seeing him kill Phil every time he tried to make a move... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
