So last night I sat down after playing in our weekly home game. I made a pretty bad play at the end, so I could not sleep as my mind was racing analyzing what I did wrong and how I should handle it next time. So I decided to watch some TV before going to sleep. I looked on TIVO and I see “KING OF VEGAS” and decide on let me check this out.
This is a gambling series on television, including competition in eight different casino games; four per week, starting with Blackjack and ending a final game of Texas Hold’em poker. Among the pros participating in the series, there were three blackjack players, Ken Eniger, “Hollywood Dave” Stann and Joanna Wlodawer. And three famous poker pros, Evelyn Ng, David Williams and Mike “The Mouth” Matusow.
Holy good god is this show awful. Are they seriously trying to merge the WWE and Poker together? The two biggest tools I have ever seen were the Hollywood guy and the Chainsaw guy. Holy christ where they ridiculous. I honestly felt bad for these two as they continually embarrassed themselves time and time again trying to play up for the camera’s. I mean did that guy really get up walk across the blackjack table and do a chainsaw animation towards the other guy when he hit an All-in blackjack?
This was by far the worst Poker/Gambling TV production to date that I have seen. I mean it is far and above a huge chip leader in that category. Do not waste your time on this show. Watch “Poker After Dark” or “High Stakes Poker”, these poker series are great entertainment when you see the pros losing a half million dollars stack on a bad beat. And when Phil Hellmuth loses it, this is so hilarious. Or when Phil Ivey got bluffed by Tom Dwan.
