For Those Who Can’t Handle The Sheer Intensity Of Cards On TV
January 28, 2008
There was this couple-of-month stretch when poker on TV was actually sort of cool, right before the world discovered the ancient game of Bejeweled. But now poker needs a renaissance. It needs a voice. It needs — you guessed it — radio coverage.
World Series of Poker Radio can now be heard on more than 200 stations, which is great news for all those people who are as embarrassed to admit their poker fetish as much as they are to confess they know all the words to “At Seventeen” and sing it loudly while driving to work whenever I hear it on the radio. Erm, when they hear it on the radio.

NBC Poker After Dark Hecklers Week
January 16, 2008
The NBC Poker After Dark show will start this week off with Hecklers Week which feature six of the “bad boys” of poker, ok, maybe not bad boys but at least six of the best trash talkers in the game.
The table will include Gavin Smith, Sam Grizzle, Jean-Robert Bellande, Mike Matusow, Shawn “The Sheik” Sheikan and the poker brat himself, Phil Hellmuth. There will not be a lack of conversation in this game and the poker may just take a back seat to the personalities themselves.
Between the talking and the “bleeping” there was poker to be played though and after what seemed like a feeling out period with many times all six players seeing a flop, the first major hand was played about half way through the show.

Poker After Dark: The 19th Hole

Poker After Dark: The 19th Hole
New match features 6 top players who also share a penchant for golf.
(PRWEB) January 4, 2008 — This week’s match on NBC’s Poker After Dark is sure to capture the attention of poker fans everywhere, but maybe even more so to those who also enjoy a day on the links whether they are a scratch golfer or a perennial hacker. For anyone who has ever imbibed in a few of their favorite beverages with friends at their local 19th hole after a round of golf, they’ll see a lot of similarities between the camaraderie that exists among their golfing buddies and how this match plays out. The banter at the table is largely golf-oriented, and the stories the players relate are amusing and entertaining.
In a quest for this week’s $120,000 first place winner-take-all prize, two newcomers will make their debut on PAD in the persons of David Oppenheim and Gavin Smith. David has been playing professionally for about 15 years, and is known as one of the best limit high-stakes cash game players in the world. Gavin, a self-proclaimed “wild card” at the tables due to his aggressive nature, is anything but quiet when he plays and will undoubtedly provide some interesting table talk.
These two will swap stories and butt heads with four pros that have also been known to engage in a friendly wager or two on the golf course in fan favorites Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu and Erick Lindgren. Ivey has won two PAD titles, and will be looking to become the first player to win three. Brunson and Negreanu have each won one, and Lindgren will be looking for his first in three tries.
Brief profiles of all six players follow. The match will begin airing on NBC late night Monday at 2:05 a.m., January 7, and will continue for five consecutive nights in the same time slot. A special program called the “Director’s Cut” will air late night Saturday, January 12, at 1:00 a.m., right after Saturday Night Live. This show will feature Poker After Dark’s new host, Marianela, with a behind-the-scenes look at the week including highlights and insightful player interviews.
