And he plays aggressive low-stakes poker around town ... so he's no stranger to the game, the language, the pros, the nuance, etc. Yet it was so clear that he was one of the professional entertainers in the house, as opposed to a professional poker player. This made me more likely to go out and see his non-poker show, which i've heard good reviews of at the poker tables at the Golden Nugget, but didn't know how credible the opinion was.

Looks like Vinny is now filling in permanently. One thing I noticed, Paul Rodriguez was supposed to be the initial host, with Vinny filling in. Looks like Vinny is now filling in permanently.

Just got a little posting backlog at the moment, as I work on some other stuff. (Hope to be back in full swing by the weekend.) But indeed, there was lots of talk about over/under for how long this thing survives. In fact, one person sitting next to me suggested we run a contest on Pokerati, offering some Real Deal swag for whoever gets closest.

I figured someone with first hand experience of The Real Deal would give us more insight....will the show be around in 2 weeks or is it as bad as being a dude and having to watch the Ya Ya Sisterhood movie?

Interesting. Be interested to see what other Vietnamese poker players (or Vietnamese-Americans in general) think on the subject. Scotty Nguyen is for McCain. Interesting.
