Tilt
Sunday, July 24, 2005
I saw ESPN's TILT for the first time this weekend. (things take a little while to make it down under sometimes)
I can't say I loved it. Even though it was all about poker and based in Vegas etc, it was a little too dark and sinister for my liking. Cheats, guns, punch ups and generally just overall shadiness seemed to be the focus of the whole episode I saw.
Maybe it's not always like that, but I can't see it creating a loyal following among the current crop of crazed poker fans who love the fun & happy atmosphere of the WPT on TV and playing online at sites like Poker.com. It was just too depressing...

I hated Tilt. Bad acting, bad story line. It was all super cliche` "look at me" hollywood.
