Talk:Poker After Dark

message: This is regarding this entry I just made:
"Poker After Dark airs on all NBC affiliates, except for affiliates located in Houston, Detroit, Austin, Memphis, Buffalo, and Albany. The NBC station in these areas airs infomercials in place of Poker After Dark."
I'd provide a good source if I could, but the only one I've found is mention of it on multiple poker forums and confirmation from multiple people I know, and that's not a very useful source.  I can 100% attest that it doesn't air in the Detroit area though.
I've heard that its because these networks will not allow Full Tilt to show their commercials during this time due to the recent online poker legislation, and that any network that airs Poker After Dark would be required to show them, but I cannot confirm this so I didn't mention this in the article.
If anyone could find a good source referencing that some affiliates aren't airing Poker After Dark (and even better, why they aren't), that'd be great.
I'd wait until I found a good source before posting my entry, but this information is extremely relevent to the article, and many people coming to this page (myself included originally) are probably doing so to find out why they can't find this on TV in their area.
And I'd understand if someone deletes my entry since I can't find a good source to reference, but I hope they first put some effort into trying to help me find one.  
Thanks,

replies: text: I saw clips of that show on a poker web site (probably Full Tilt) about 2 weeks ago, so the show was recorded a long time ago, and it's not inconceivable that the results would be leaked. I'd prefer removing the results though, since they are not sourced and the shows haven't aired yet. Mike in LA 06:06, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Ladies' Week??

message: I know there is a citation, but is it reliable?  I see no evidence that the producers are able to determine what cards have been dealt before they are checked by the players; to the contrary, players are frequently reminded to show their hole cards to the cams.70.20.26.236 20:22, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I was wondering this as well. They never seem to show us the cards before the player looks, and they look to be standard KEM Casino cards. Lord Bodak 16:09, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

text: I was about to edit this myself, since the RFID citation (mentioned only in the web "sneak-peak" article) really does not seem to be based on any verifiable source, and also seems very unlikely.  Unlike what the article says, RFID would not be necessary to see the hole cards at home as a hand is played, since: a) the show is not broadcast live, so there is no requirement to have this automated to such an extent; b) Hole Cameras are used, and as mentioned above players are reminded to use them in some episodes; and c) the cards appear very normal, and RFID cards would likely be at least slightly thicker.  There also doesn't appear to be any company actually manufacturing such a product, though one at http://blog.trossenrobotics.com/index.php/2007/01/25/rfid-playing-cards/ has an 'experimenters' pack, at 1.5 inches thick (!).  So unless anyone gets some different information, I'm changing this next time I'm in the vicinity....  GGG65 02:38, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed the mention of RFID tags, because it was simply discounted supposition that was proved inaccurate by both common sense and by watching the show.  No need for useless info.  --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 00:19, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Conflicting data 

message: I think someone should look back at the episodes and, in addition to saying who finished in what place, also say how many hands they played before they were knocked out. Someone who finished in 6th place could still have played more hands than someone in another week who finished in 5th place, or even 4th place. I think that would make the article's series rankings more accurate.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.168.233.100 (talk) 08:01, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Dead Links

message: I realize that cash games and tournaments are different animals, but perhaps instead of 'N/A' for 6th-through-1st placings, we could put the player that lost the most cash in 6th place, and go in ascending order to the player that won the most in 1st place. I don't see 'official' results anywhere online (pending the airing of the Director's Cut episode), but I pieced together the numbers from the fifth episode, starting with the chip count at the start of the episode and calculated the amount won and lost by each player in every aired hand (as well as bounty collection and a side bet).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Buckeyebrain (talk • contribs) 05:44, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If the win/loss amounts are available somewhere that would work (like player A , Player B +$74,000 etc)  but i don't know of any, pokerafterdark.com doesn't give the details stats of the cash game, something I wish they would do on both this show and HSP, like a flashing a leaderboard from time to time then at the end.▪◦▪≡SiREX≡Talk 06:13, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

This would appear to say she has 2 wins ($240,000) and subtract 4 buy-ins ($80.0000)it doesn't seem to foot.

We saw this type of statistical-tables-original-research-overkill before at The South Park Episode article "Make Love Not Warcraft" and in the end the tables were removed because it was deemed original research.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.66.25.139 (talk) 07:50, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
