Default G4

The TV network G4 has taken a step into the poker industry with a new show, "Two Months. Two Million." Dani "Ansky" Stern, Jay "Krantz" Rosenkrantz, Emil "Whitelime" Patel and Brian "Flawless_Victory" Roberts will play online with hopes of making $2 million in … yeah, you get it. The show debuts Aug. 16, and they mix in the Vegas scene, celebs, Playboy, etc. One of the coolest things that was shown in the promo video is that they have a "Tilt Room" where they use baseball bats, hockey sticks, or anything they can find to blow off steam by bashing whatever is lying around. Great idea.

Saw an ad for this in Maxim I think. I laughed because they showed huge pictures and used their real names but didn't give poker names. Therefore I had no freaking clue who they were.

I watched the premiere and it barely about poker. I'll let TiVo keep recording them for future bored-moments though.

Could this show be any worse?

I also watched the premier and am now embarrassed to admit that I play online.

For that comment, you will now be required to perform the penalty stunt.
