PokerCollectif announced you a few days ago that 2 new series having as main theme the poker will be broadcast on television (or maybe not in one case).
As a first step, Travel Channel will broadcast on 4 November I Bet My Life, a show starring Liv Boeree and Kevin MacPhee as part of their travel on the circuit.
For the curious, here's the official teaser:
This series has many elements to seduce the community. But we cannot say the same about the series Full House with Doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan. Brunson and Chan are undoubtedly the legends of poker, but in 2012, is it really appropriate to see them on the screen? Doyly Brunson brought a lot to the community, but it still has to offer all these years later?
To give you an overview, you can watch this 6-minute excerpt:
Judging by the thread created on 2 + 2, people don't seem to have a great interest in the upcoming series.
Hard to find a positive comment.
The video that you saw above was originally not intended to the public, but to the television in a phase of direct sales channels only. It is therefore not a trailer in the proper sense of the term.
Full House competition against five candidates who have respective bankrolls $ 200,000. If a player loses all his money he will be replaced by another player.
The first contenders side Chan include Simon aka The Playboy, Jay aka the Genius, Estevan alias the Chico Loco, Malia aka Queen of Hearts and Matt aka the Bully.
Honestly, hope that this series was never aired. Whatever, she could always make his new batch of players on the poker tables, who knows.
What do you think of these series? You watch them?
