For anyone who has seen Mutual Appreciation and/or is a rabid televised Poker fan (I think I'm the only person who can claim both), is it just me, or is the main actor from the movie (who's also in Bishop Allen) also in this Full Tilt Poker Ad playing heads up w/Chris Ferguson? If so, I could reasonably be the only human on earth who has noticed

that's him, alright

I just wish I had the gag reflex required to enjoy all things Bujalski.
I really really do.

What's the appeal of televised poker?

I have a grudge against all forms, since NBC no longer repeats conan (weekdays), and SNL (on saturdays), so that they may bring us even more televised poker than one dv-r can withstand in a single week.

I wish I could explain to you the appeal of televised poker. I don't even play, and yet I'm obsessed with it beyond reason. I can name every player that shows up on TV by sight, and my dv-r is as you say bulging with episodes of WSOP, WPT, USPC, High Stakes Poker, Poker After Dark, and way too many more. I actually listen to Poker strategy podcasts, which is probably something that I should not admit to anyone. My roommate is so sick of it all I think he would like to cut my throat with a playing card.

I can say, though, that I'm not shedding a tear for those Conan and SNL repeats, sorry. :) A good hand of Poker beats pretty much anything on either of those shows.
