Have found the best worst TV poker scene ever (1 Viewer)

[Easylife]

Don't ask me why but watching an episode of The Good Ship Murder (S1 E5) were there is a poker tournament onboard a cruise ship. It's a 1 million buy in winner takes all with 5 entries. The compere opens the tournament saying it's Texas holdem with a min 500k rebuy. Swings over to the action , with dice chips in play. Two players see the flop and start betting into each other, goes to the turn and start betting again, one player goes all in by shoving his chips into the stacks from the previous betting round as they hadn't been moved. Other player calls. Compere notes it's now a half a million hand Fist player had 2 4 and not hit. Second called with 7 2 and not hit, says his 7 plays and scoops the pot and they don't bother to do a river card. Worst poker scene I've ever seen. Someone in the show should really research these things! I was in stitches.

The # of chips don’t even match their calling amount.

A bet with 30k throwing about 10 white chips, B reraise with 60k throwing about 11 white chips and A call the extra 30k with about 12-13 white chips more on top of the 10 white chip

Then at the turn, the B just raise 100k with about 15-16 black chips like wtf, how the production / director team doing with the filming is beyond me.

And where is the fucking river card?

Also, it funny they call A a sore loser for making a fuss after getting call by 7 high.

Any half-decent player with a brain who get call by 7 high is going to think they got cheated, 7 high is nt ever beating any draw bluff.

She needs a warning. She “acted”out of turn.

Pathetic that this made it to tv

Fake Teddy KGB, the poker, the acting & everything else is horrible. Can't believe they made this AND I wasted 3 minutes of my life watching it especially how this thread was billed as "worst TV poker scene ever!!"

 

[Rakrul]

It's an inside joke for many of the producers. They try to make the most illogical scene. It's usually done with hacking scenes or other "specialist" thing, so I guess poker somehow qualifies.

...How do YOU guys play cards??

The worst TV poker scene is when Casino Royale is on TV.

I watched that smashed and still had a bad time. That lowers the bar usually so you know it was bad.

And where is the fucking river card?

This is the part that blows my mind. Of all the things to get wrong this one is so bad.

Based on whatever the hell that is that I just watched, the river was probably but they didn't have the budget to reshoot, so it had to be cut.
