Krantz working on online poker reality tv show

High-stakes regular and Deuces Cracked coach Jay Krantz, better known to railbirds as nosebleed player pr1nnyraid on Full Tilt Poker, reported on his blog yesterday that he’s about to head west to begin production work on a new reality TV show that features himself and a handful of other online chipslingers. Here’s a tongue-in-cheek capsule description of HOUSE OF CARDS from Krantz’s post:

HOUSE OF CARDS, a half hour special, will chronicle the lives of a group of top-flight online poker players. All close friends who met on the internet, they’re considered the best online players in the world. We’ll hear their stories and vicariously experience a dream life through their eyes, enjoying the best that high-end Las Vegas luxury has to offer. From the hottest clubs to the top hotels and restaurants, the boys are heroes to kids like them around the Globe. Along the way they’ll win and lose money in competitive games against other players of their skill level. House of Cards will be a compelling look at the minds and personalities of the elite online poker subculture.

Basically it’s Entourage but instead of acting, it’s online poker. I hope I get to be E because Sloan is super hot.

Based on Krantz’s videos for Deuces Cracked, we’d expect PG 13 goofball silliness ala Phil Laak to dominate the show. However it turns out, it will likely be a welcome alternative to the drek that passes for poker tv these days…
