    Girl Got Game: New fail poker "reality" show

    Girl Got Game

    http://ca.pokernews.com/news/2015/11...n-liu-9427.htm

    VAMN-TV, which is headquartered in Orange County, California, has announced the production of a new documentary-style poker reality television series called Girl Got Game, which will follow eight dynamic female poker pros as they compete in both Macau and Las Vegas.

    The preliminary lineup for the show includes arguably Canada's top female player, Xuan Liu, along with Sofia Lövgren, Danielle Andersen, Kitty Kuo, Joanna Kwak, Lilou Agostini, Oanh Bui, Sabina Hiatullah, and Series Creator/Executive Producer, Katrina Lim.

    "I created Girl Got Game to show that poker is a skill game and my friends work just as hard as anyone else in other professions to create a good living for themselves and their families," explained Lim. "They deserve respect in their line of work because it not only takes talent, but a ton of resilience, intelligence, passion, and motivation: female empowerment at its best. I’m also excited to show my friends collaborating together, proving teamwork while still having fun, will always be paramount."

    The show will see the players compete both individually and in teams, with the winner being awarded a seat into the 2016 World Series of Poker Main Event. Meanwhile, the top two players with the most cash bankroll will return for Season 2, and a third player will return based on popular vote by viewers.

    According to Lim, each player will start with a $10,000 bankroll in Macau and will seek to grow it by competing in various physical and mental challenges. Throughout Season 1, which will wrap up in Las Vegas during the 2016 WSOP, cameo appearances from some of poker’s top and most popular professionals are planned.

    The cast will also participate in a Celebrity Charity Poker Tournament in Los Angeles in May 2016 where proceeds of their earnings will be given to their favorite selected charities.

    "This is a great platform for us to show that poker is not only the ultimate mental game, but also an equal opportunity game," said Lövgren. "We want to show the amazing possibilities that poker has given us. Hopefully, we may encourage more women to join us in this male dominated profession."

    Girl Got Game is set to air on VAMN-TV in mid-April 2016.

    Looks terrible and boring.

    And the female "stars" of poker in this show are mostly minor names.

    Even Tiffany Michelle apparently passed up on this. That's how bad it's gotten.

    You've hit upon a good idea.

    They should have a reality show featuring 25 attractive women under age 30, none of whom have any kind of poker talent.

    These girls will be thrust upon the poker community, and their interactions filmed.

    There will then be a competition for getting staked in tournaments with increasing buyins, with the goal of having to do the least amount of stuff sexually to acquire it.

    Each week, they eliminate the girls who fail to get the buyin. If they all get staked, the eliminate the one who put out the most in order to get her buyin.

    The prize money comes via the poker tournaments, where the girls get to keep their winnings. The tournaments only feature the girls, and no other players.

    Eventually, when it gets down to 2 girls, they play heads up for an extra prize, and the show is declared over for the season.

    I would definitely watch this.

    I never heard of this TV channel that is going to air this show so I assume it is low budget, which means any chance of it surprising me to be good is thrown out the window.

    Sort of surprised Danielle "dmoongirl" Andersen is in this when they are starting with a $10k bankroll according to the description and she plays cash games where $10k is probably her average buyin.

    Xuan Liu has played for a few years now (just looked she has $1.6 mil in cashes according to hendonmob) and Sofia Lövgren is a hot grill but I've never heard of the other girls.

    "Season 1, which will wrap up in Las Vegas during the 2016 WSOP, cameo appearances from some of poker’s top and most popular professionals are planned".

    My guess is that Mr. Todd Witteles will not be making a cameo.

    Who the hell are these chicks? I've never heard of any of them. Would be funnier if this was more realistic and they actually had to blow guys for stakes.

    P.S. Why wasn't Stinkem invited?

    I can't believe my favorite poster green repped a faggot for making fun of a guy asking the totally legit question of who the fuck are these bitches. I've heard of Darvin Moon's wife and I even met her at Blackhawk three years ago but the rest seem Asian and indistinguishable. Tyler Lim's wife is the producer so I'm sure I will watch this on ESPN when it comes out anyway.
