"In a parellel universe, the terrain of online poker is dominated by legions of young girls sitting in front of their computers. This is a story of four such "grinders" who spend all day on the internet scratching out a living by clicking buttons. They read forums. They get memes. And most important of all, they enjoy the personal freedom that their unique profession affords them. Their fast lives become a blur of degeneracy, booze, sex and the digital world.
However, "living the dream" has its downsides. The girls must deal with the mental anguish of losing large sums of money on a regular basis. Furthermore, the poker economy is shrinking and the games are getting tougher by the minute. Also, the necessity to stay in front of their computers for extended periods of time have degraded the girls' ability to function properly in a normal social atmosphere. Even their abundance of money and free time has not come with a sense of personal satisfaction and fulfilment.
This show will explore themes of personal identity, living a worthwhile life, the desire to be the best in the world, the uncertainty of the future, the nature of gambling and the effect that heavy interaction with the digital world has on real life personal relationships... all in a lighthearted, not-taking-one's-self-too-seriously fashion.
From the director of the documentary A Kid's Game: The Story of Online Poker comes a proposal for a new webseries about four girls just trying to make it the best they can in a world that is becoming increasingly uncertain, fragmented and digitized." Li Dong
The series is not ready yet, but in the meantime, here's a teaser:

The video producer of the future series, Li Dong posted this teaser on Youtube to see the public reaction and of course the number of viewers he'll get and then he will decide if he'll shoot the full series. My personal opinion is that will be pretty funny to watch. However i think a series about the most appreciated online players will attract a lot more attention than this type of video.

Please tell me this is a joke! It look's and sounds pretty corny, but I like WickedKitty's pic. I guess to each their own opinion and I couldn't watch something like this. Hope not to offend anyone, but the short vid clip was more then I cared to see. At least the post forwarned me! Good Luck to you All!
Real bad and real funny at the same time
