Tilt - Best Thursday Night Show?

#1
Does anyone watch this show? I think its actually pretty good. Not too cheesy like ESPN's last show. I guess I like it because I like playing poker so... just wondering what everyone thinks.

Its on tonight I believe...

No offense, but if I was judging Texas Hold Em by this show I would never play the game again. Talk about a waste of broadcasting time.

IMHO this is simply a blatant attempt by ESPN to cash in on the current craze by making yet another sappy night-time soap opera. I watched it twice, just to be fair. I should have used the time to better advantage - I could have counted pine needles or something.

If you want to learn about Texas Hold Em, watch something like World Poker Tour or Celebrity Poker Showdown.

I dont think its the right show to learn about Poker, but if youre into it, it is better than most things on at 6pm thursday night.
You don't get many channels?

;)

Sorry, but I can find at least a dozen things better than that show at 6 p.m. without half-trying.

I love Texas Hold Em. Tilt is an embarrassment.

How can you NOT like Micheal Madsen? He alone makes the show worth it. Personaly I think Texas hold em isthe 9 ball of poker. A bastardized game so that retards can play too. But the show is fun!

While its hard to argue the greatness (or, at least, coolness) of Mr. Blonde, Madsen wasn't enough to get me to watch Free Willy, either.

I saw a few minutes of the show the other night while waiting for "NBA Fastbreak" to start, but I wasn't terribly impressed. Was neither good enough, or bad enough to draw me in.

No I have DirecTV but I just dont find anything better... my opinion.

IMO, this is an entertaining show. I don't play poker, but I can still follow it. Matador's daughter is a smokin' babe (for a skank)! That alone makes it worth watching.

And BTW, am I the only one who thinks it's obvious that Seymour was taken out by the cop who drove all the way to Wyoming on a wild goose chase? Seymour's team seems to think it was Low Ball and Matador.

I saw the Unabomber for the first time on WPT yesterday. THat guy would drive me nuts if I was playing him. no manners! Then again could be all part of his ploy to win
