What was the deal with the freeroll? Why was there a waiting list? I never got in.
I don't know for sure but I think this software has no late registration, so if you don't get in before the time hits for the tourney you get waiting listed for the next one.Quote:

Thanks to both of you, and the original $200 donor.
I will pay you on Lock Carbon or Hero. Post or PM me your s/n.
I don't play on any of those sites. I play ACR and have account on Bovada but there's no transfer option on Bovada.Quote:

technical problems - the sound was off at the beginning and vwls never sounded very good. then druff disconnected the other two.
didn't hear a single phone call in the time i listened.
vwls hardly said anything while drexel went on and on.
there didn't seem to be any structure to the show or flow...the only set piece was druff talking about being cheap.
the 1,000,000 buyin players = sooo boring, at least do some digging and find out who the anonymous guys are or prank call the wsop to get them to give you something.
added up to a whole lot of nothing worth listening to
The show left much room for improvement imo, Texter hit on the issues pretty well. You cant expect things to be perfect right off the bat though, I still listened to the whole thing and enjoyed it.Quote:

fun, entertainment and must listen again factor
i just found the show wasnt tight enough, too much waffling, especially from druff, and to a lesser extent drexel
what i liked
- discussion about womens bodily functions, i laughed out loud, especially drexels and vwls persopective
-vwls addition i great, sutlry voice
-drexels experiences/stories in vegas
what i didnt like
-jew tips just dragged on ( thats where micon would have ''lowhoused'' druff)
-drexels report on the robberies tilted me, straight news isnt his greatest strength. Leave that to druff or vwls, as drex is more the color commentator
-not enough callers, characters, OSA...
-not enough vwls...needs her own segments
- show needs a nemesis, be it a marty like characters
-low production values...audio quality needs improvement
overall great start, looking forward to future shows

Fluffer's assessment seems fair, but I still think the show needs to get some real name guests. I'm a new guy and I don't even know who the players are yet?

Lack of calls also sucked, but was due to time constraints. That won't be a problem in future broadcasts.
Lack of characters was also a problem, but again, this was due to time contraints and lack of their availability. We will have a few wacky characters on each show.
I disagree that Brandon isn't good with news segments, but perhaps that one did go on a bit long, as did my WSOP Jew Tips segment.
Sound quality problems at the beginning won't happen again. Regarding overall sound quality, I will listen again and turn up the bit rate if I think it needs improvement. I am actually a big believer in the need for high audio quality.
One common complaint about the show on the last site we were on involved the "name" guests.Quote:

We decided that we're not going to bend over backwards to get "known" guests unless we feel we can make an interesting segment out of it. Now, of course, a really big name in poker is always interesting, but moderately big names can be boring if they have nothing noteworthy to say.
For example, we're not going to scramble to interview some online player who happens to score a bracelet at this year's WSOP. There's really nothing interesting to say in such an interview, especially because our show doesn't discuss poker strategy.
BTW, if anyone here can assist us with getting interviews with interesting guests, PM me.

Shit if this pilot was a fail then what does that make micons show?
If I was grading the show, I'd give it a B+ for those of us who participate on the forums and know of all of you. For an outside listener...probably a C-...not much that would really encourage that person to come join the forums, or to continue listening.
a somewhat valid point, but i thoroughly enjoyed the nvp/dd shows and i knew nothing about the forum dramas/charactersQuote:

imo some just a matter of having a roster of characters, scallir, fat scottish guy, marty, drunk dutch guy and so on
its a matter of finding the right balance in pleasing the forum members and appealing to new listeners, and i am sure within a few shows that will be achieved
imo, reading the chat while listening to the show makes the experience infinitely more funny.
I thought the Pilot Episode was a solid effort, with promise of much more to come (phone calls, guests, etc.).
