G4 Cable station premiered their new series 2 months, 2 million last Sunday night. The premise of the show is to showcase four online poker players attempt at making 2 million dollars in 2 months as the title so eloquently suggests.
Brian “Flawless_Victory” Roberts, Jason “pr1nnyraid” Rosenkrantz, and Dani “Ansky” Stern, and Emil “whitelime” Patel are the cast of online poker pros who are trying to make it big. Three of the pros are working for Deuces Cracked by producing high quality poker training videos so they do have a small chance of making the 2 million dollars in the next couple months. The first episode was 22 minutes long and was jam packed with reality style footage of them playing poker, making prop bets, and going clubbing. It did seem that they were trying a bit too hard in front of the camera but the premise of the show still showed a lot of promise. They have ten episodes in total planned over the next 10 weeks.
Each player is held accountable for pulling their own weight by a weekly prop bet that makes the player who makes the least or losses the most do something embarrassing in public. I won't ruin who lost the first month but it was pretty funny to watch the outcome of the lost prop bet. I also really like their "tilt room" that they use when the players need to blow off some steam, that alone might be worth watching the show.
Poker Training Guide does recommend you check it out as its good for poker and their is a lot of potential in the new poker series 2 months, 2 million.

2009 looks like the year of the personal challenge. Everybody seems like they have something to prove, or some added motivation to improve their poker play.
By now everybody has heard of the ongoing Durrrr Challenge. With Tom Dwan and Patrick Antonius locking horns for hundreds of hours now.
There was also the legendary Boku Challenge where Thomas "Boku" Boekhoff managed to turn $100 into $10,000 in 15 days playing only $16 max sitngos. He completed that with ease and is now embarking on his turn $5 into $100,000 in 1 year challenge. Some training site desperately needs to sign this guy up as a coach. PokerVT? Spacegravy and Boku as your 2 lead sng instructors would be sick!
