there is a poker show on GSN (game show network), at 9 pm EST tonight, 12/7. I think it is a brand new show, probably something along the lines on WPT. It is only an hourlong show. dont know anything about it, but of course I'll check it out. does anyone know anything?

I heard a commercial for it on the radio, but I don't get GSN.

I get gsn at work and at home but to busy today to watch.

I thought it was good overall. Kevin Nealon was ok, and Evelyn Ng actually surprised me. but put some clothes on, take your hands out of your pockets, and stand up straight!!
Anyway, did anyone catch the secret code or whatever to enter contest on gsn.com?? I must have missed it.

What was it like? Just a tournament?

I was too busy losing to runner-runner draws at my local card room last night to tune in, but here are details.

Anybody know the 'password' that they gave out last night to enter the sweeps?

No I missed it, watched pretty much the whole episode too. I wonder exactly what this promo is, something like 1 poker hand could be worth 10 million. must be you get to play a hand and if you make a royal you get half of the 10 mil. something almost impossible. but its free ot enter so if someone had that code and doesnt mind posting it...................

I'm watching this now. The big faces at the talbe are Kathy Liebert(1st party poker million champ), jimmy meaner of something but he just got knocked out, and carlos mortenson.

Holy Shit!!! Mortenson was in a pot heads up with this tight/solid Asian player with 46o and was setting up a bluff the whole way. He raised before the flop, the young Asian re-raised, and Carlos called. Carlos checked the flop, and the Asian hit top pair top kicker with his Ajo. Carlos called hoping to take the pot away later and picked up a gutshot draw on the turn. He check-raised, the Asian re-raised or moved in, and Carlos hit his gutshot on the river...what a hand.

I thought it was rather disappointing. Kevin Nealon and Evelyn Ng aren't very good commentators. Maybe it was geared towards new players, but I didn't find it that entertaining at all.

Some of those hands were pretty crazy though. Quad Jacks vs Flopped Full Queen over Jacks, AA vs 10 10, and other hands like that.

I am a relatively new player and also didn't find it entertaining at all. Nealon isn't funny or knowlegable and Ng didn't provide much beyond the belly shirt.

The second episode was better, largely due to the new color guy. (I"ve seen him on WSOP 2004, but his name slips my mind as I type.) Nealon is still not so good.

Ya, the second episoid was a little bit better. Kevin Nealon isn't very knowledgable in the game and isn't very entertaining either. I think they should have found someone with either more knowledge or was more entertaining.

As for the play, there's quit a lot of beats, it's like watching a few rounds at party poker...haha.
