Apparently that old wrinkly bag of bones Joan Rivers hates poker players. She couldn’t control herself last week on Celebrity Apprentice and went on a rant about how “poker players are beyond white trash”. She claims to know and have met many poker players in Las Vegas and pretty much thinks they are the scum of the universe.
Bitter much? Earlier in the show Joan apparently called Annie Hitler, then later when someone brought it up Joan said something along the lines of, “I shouldn’t have said that, it was an insult to Hitler”.
This has to be one of the most classless exits from a reality show and you can see her daughter is just a little spoiled brat. On PokerForum.ca one poster stated, “Pathetic really that neither of them could drum up any real money with all their contacts whereas Annie has raised the most.”
Everyone has been involved in a situation where they make the right play by getting all their chips in with the best hand, only to be outdrawn by some donkey with a miracle turn and river. This video does a great job of describing that kind of scenario and is quite funny… enjoy!
Apparently the old marketing efforts of UB / AP weren’t working, so they have decided to go a new route. Here is the latest commercial from the poker cheating giants:
Thanks to 2+2 poster Al Capwne for posting this video.
One player at the PokerStars APPT is probably regretting partying too hard the night before the big event. He spent most of the day at the poker table passed out with his head down, occassionally getting up to glance at his cards.
At one point it got so bad that he actually started puking in his own hat at the poker table.
Even tournament director, Danny Macdonough had some fun with poor guy. He announced over the mic, “This is an official warning for a chucker on table nine. This is not cricket. On the next chuck he gets a round.”
Here is a video with Terrence “Not Johnny” Chan talking about the incident:
Came accross this creepy commercial for the 2008 US Poker Championship. The announcer’s voice sounds like he is using one of those voice recorders from the movie Scream. Considering the event is a $10,000 buy-in, you would think that the Taj Mahal would spend more than $50 on a commercial for the event to try and lure in some players with lots of money. This might even be the reason that the prizepool was down over $250k in 2007!
Without futher adieu, here is the US Poker Championship commercial:
