Posted on 21 September 2009 by "T".

A new TV show called "The Poker Star" was introduced by PokerStars a while ago. The show will be quite similar to the very popular "POP IDOL" where talented and not so talented musicians get to perform in front of a jury with the chance of winning a contract with a big record label. However, PokerStars are not interested in Musicians, but instead in talented poker players. The winner of "The Poker[...] Read more » PokerStars introduces their own talent show

Great idea. I think that's why PokerStars is currently the leader when we talk about online poker sites. Great support, excellent traffic and pretty nice software.

Fun! But is going to be a normal tournament or who advances? The one that plays interesting poker or the one who wins the tournament?

He donked his way into Championship and is a tool.
Pfff They could have picked a better Pokerstars crewmember.

I think it was his "Ausie" chants and the "Pass the sugar" comments that made him get this job.

American tv shows are almost always something for european tv owners look for buying rights in the future. Perhaps portuguese producers go after this show. It would be nice to have the oportunity of playing for real against the best amateurs in order to reach a superior level. The guy who comes out winner from here will have a lot to do in the future in terms of poker. Im sure he will be invited for a lot of tourneys.

Intresting idea, but no doubt the best player there will get donked out and the whole thing won by a lucker, but handpicked, wouldent it be better to judge them??
As good as rigged to me.

Well it looks like a pretty good promotion by pokerstars and a nice show to watch. but don't like this handpicked method of selecting players though

cool idea.. it will be a big publicity stunt i think.
Putting poker stars in the headlines can only be a good thing for poker stars and poker in general. but lets face it if the person is that good in the first place it gives them a stage to show it off..
