MTV looking for local tournaments/games
 

If you were inspired by Rounders and run/participate in your local poker 'scene' MTV True Life would like to hear from you. We're looking for guys and girls, 18-29 who take part in this emerging underground scene. Please send your name, age, location, and description of your local scene to [email]gambling@mtvstaff.com[/email]

thanks!

interesting
 

I replied to this request. I would really enjoy them doing a piece on poker as an emerging sport. I hope they write back. I would love to see a special on TV about young players in the poker world.
Just my 2 cents.

It was only a matter of time! Now MTV is jumping on the badwagon. I can see it now: True Life: I am addicted to poker

What the hell is going on with poker? This is crazy. I remember 2 or 3 years ago having to drive to other states for a tourney, now every local firehouse and basement has a game going on. Trust me, I'm not complaining, I have never had a better EV in my life then now. I am on a 9 session winning streak. BUT, MTV is going to completely ruin this scene. It use to be a tight group of people that knew how to play many games top notch: Seven card, Omaha, pineapple. Now its just a bunch of kids that think they are the shit at hold em and think this scene is about being cool and getting on TV. Poker is about one thing, making money. So listen up all you newbies. Instead of going to your local game and putting on your shades and chasing that K to the river. Pick up a book and actually learn this game. It will save you a ton of money and the rest of us a head ache.
Peace-

If you can come to Montreal, then we can definitely hook you up.
