WTF were they trying to say about online poker players. Did you see that fucking geek? What the fuck was he doing with those three computers? He sure the fuck wasn't playing like anyone I know.
"he plays three games at a time!" LOL LOL LOL whoopity doo. Even *I* can play three tables at a time.
I know we've had a thread about this show before, but man, it keeps getting worse and worse and worse and I can't quit watching it! GAH!

If you're gonna play trash, expect it to get taken out.

he said he was playing 5-6 hours a day since high school and plays 2000-3000 hands a week. WTF? Playing 3 tables, you get 200 hands an hour at 3 tables. He would have that many hands in 2-3 days. A show about poker can't even get their poker facts straight.

What really bugs me is the poker is so bad. The sceen where the guy calls calls all in with JJ after the flop comes KXX, my god if pro really were that dumb, I would win the WSOP every year and its not like the guy with KQ check raised all in, he put the guy all in for a large chunk of money.
5-6 hrs a day BFD, there are people on this site that play a ton more hours than that. I think they were trying to make this guy in the image of Scott Fishman, since he is kind of the face of the internet poker generation. I love the fact that he has 3 computers set up, ummmm wouldn't it be a heck of a lot easier to just have one computer with two or 3 monitors???

Tilt is probably one of the worst series ever.
I found this through another forum and found it somewhat amusing and accurate.

That is one of the best lines from the show " When its all going well you start off every hand with big slick" I dont know about you guys but I think I'd much rather start every hand with AA than AK but maybe thats just me.

But AA doesn't have a cool name like "Big Slick"
That link may be the longest thing I've ever read on the intraweb.
It was pretty funny, but god damn, could've been shorter.

Oh come on pocket rockets is as cool a name as big slick. I'm ashamed to say this but I'm kind of looking forward to this weeks upisode, Phil Hellmuth is going to be on it, so are a couple of other big names.
Just once I want them to show some good poker. Calling with the nuts really isnt that hard. They make it seem only good player call an all in with the nut flush, knowing the other person has the 2nd nut flush. If I have the nuts I really dont care what my opponant has, but I'm pretty sure if he pushs all in I'm going to call.

Why is this ridiculous waste of petroleum products still on the air? If anything, it's gotten worse every episode, if that's even possible. I watch ten minutes, then go throw up. I think it's causing Intellectual Bulimia in me.
Oh, wow, Phil Helmuth acting? Gotta get the Emmy folks to watch this. If he had to play Phil Ivey--without looking like Billy Crystal/Sammy Davis, of course--then he'd deserve accolades. Give up acting, Mr. Deniro, you've been shown up. But, what you want to bet he's going to be doing Phil Helmuth, Jr.? And doing it very, very badly.
Loved the review, although it was rather long. If you didn't get to the part of "the Matador" with the hooker, you missed one hilarious piece of writing. I think the guy got it just right. You'll wait forever to see anything even remotely resembling poker. If it wasn't so bad, we'd be outraged. We should be, anway.
Blech! Pitooey! Why did I waste any more of my time on this gar-BAGE? I thought I'd given up self-abuse.

That link is seriously funny.
If the opening lines were written decently, they wouldn't be about getting big slick. For crying out loud, AK doesn't win you any money by itself. The flop is where you make your money. It would be like "all my low pairs are turning into sets except when they turn into boats, and my suited aces are all making the nut flush by the turn." How hard is that to write?
Apparently I can be glad I don't get cable so watching Tilt is never a temptation/threat.

Thats pretty funny CJ, I have to admit as much as I make fun of it I cant stop watching, its like a freaking car crash you dont really want to look but somehow you just cant help it.
My guess is Phil Hellmuth is going to be playing Phil Hellmuth and crying and whinig something he is well practiced at.
