Celebrity Poker

[Mint]

Does anyone else watch this show on Bravo? There have been two complete tournaments now. Each tournament consists of five games with five players, the winner of each game goes onto the championship game. Each tournament has 17 men playing and 8 women.

Guess what…a woman won each of the first two championships. Moral? Women are better poker players than men.

I am placing all MY chips on a female winning the third championship as well which started Monday.

Worst. Show. Ever.

It's actually excruciatingly painful to watch some of those people play poker. I know I've reached my viewing limit when my eyes start to water at the two minute mark, and my ears start to bleed from the moronic announcers hamming it up.

If women are better poker players, why has there never been one at the final table at WSOP, nevermind winning the whole thing?

Were just letting team testosterone get overconfident and biding our time is all.... :wedgie:

They should have celebrity strip poker with the Hilton sisters, or any other fine looking species with the female reproductive genetalia :drool:

Well, considering the number of women that play versus men has a little something to do with that. And yes the announcers on Celebrity poker should be shot...in the leg of course, nothing lethal or anything.

I can't do it. I find myself screaming at the TV at Coolio or Philip Michael Thomas for going all-in with a pair of pocket 3s when there's three face cards on the board. Some of those people are just brutal card players. And C-List celebrities to boot.

SnatchWrangler (I typed SnackWrangler the first time wtf), we need to play Mint and killx0r her now.

Basing any men vs. women debate on celebrity performance is ridiculous.

There are good women card players. They are not the best in the world. You can say the same thing about damn near any competition (basketball, weightlifting, chess, bocce).

Female models are paid more...ergo...clearly women are superior.

In 1995, Barbara Enright reached the final table of the WSOP, finishing 5th. She is the only woman to reach the final table of the WSOP main event.

So they do have one. :clap:
