Does anyone here watch Celebrity Poker with any great interest? I don't know why but for some reason I just can't stand watching it.

I watched the first season, because it was poker, and I love poker. But now that it's a 2 hour show, I just can't stomach it. It literally pains me (yes, I said literally) to watch people play so badly and hear the commentators try to justify it. It's not worth sitting through 2 hours of crap to hear Phil gordan say a total of 45 seconds of things I find useful (usualy tell related). I will hand it to Phil though - he does a far better job commenting on the celebs than Mike and Vince do. Those guy are ridiculous, getting all excited when some idiot calls 2 all in bets with his A high and they try to say he's got a read on the other guy stealing and blah blah blah. If they were honest, and commentated for what it was - terrible poker - at least it would be honest. But hearing them get so excited about such terrible play really annoys me for some reason.

Norm McDonald vvs Micheal Ian Black heads up. The wrong play EVERY hand, but David Copperfield's photo told him to???? |

Was Norm crazy in person as well
The guy come across as a compelte degenerate, and I wonder how much of it is an act vs. the real thing. I mean really ... would you fold to a raise from the star of "Screwed"?

Actualy, he was a really nice guy. I was seated between him and Elvis (Celebrity/Media Event at the WSOP). He was pretty funny too.... he was only around 5 or 10 minutes though, until he "busted out" aka dumped all his chips to a guy he knew, bluffing with K high.
He's a decent player though. He actually won his seat in the main event through a satellite the night before... |
