Long hours, lots of Drama but entertaining... Just wait until you see the show, it's going to be Great...
I can say that my emotions were running close to full tilt by the time the shooting for the show was done. You go from being excited, angry, dissapointed, relieved and down right exhausted. But that's Poker right?
I feel I have learned a lot from this show so far, I came into this already believing that I was a pretty decent poker player, boy was I wrong, I am just now beginning to learn what it takes to even come close to playing on a professional level and I have a LONG way to go. But I'm listening, asking questions, taking full advantage of the Time these pro's are dedicating to the poker community and to this show and doing my best to incorporate that advice into my poker game. I already feel my game has improved a great deal since I started this show, but I have to keep that in check and not get over confident. There are a lot of players that are listening to the pro's and I see their game improving. For those of you that didn't listen and incorporate their advice, we will miss you! And for those that did listen and did incorporate the advice into your game and still lost, life is just not fair!
Gregg Merkow, thanks for the time you took to help me improve my game, your wisdom and advice is priceless. I don't have the ability to caculate odds on the fly or know exactly how many outs somebody has. You saw that in me and told me to go with my gut instinct so I did and it worked. I understand that my gut isn't right all the time but that I just have to listen to it more often. That gave me the opportunity to take down some serious pots that people would definately say "the odds were against you, you should have folded" but I went with my gut instinct and won against some very good players who were making the right calculated call against me. Just that bit of advice alone has helped me improve my game. I used to attempt to calculate what my odds were in a hand and would make calls that I thought were right but my gut would tell me NO and I ignored it, and in turn, I lost. So now thanks to you I'm going to listen to that gut feeling more often then not.
I had a great time this weekend and want to thank John and everyone else that makes this show happen, you are truly amazing people.

I thought I heard this weekend that some people posted information abot the show online (Flicker for pictures etc.). Can we consolidate that information here?
