As I recall Michelle Orpe in particular was given a horrendous time when she joined PNL. This abuse came from quite a few quarters,but the most vociferous was indeed "The Axeman"aka Greg Winters (ex-rocker) It is to Michelles eternal credit and a testament to her professionalism that she shrugged all of it off and worked hard on her poker and presenting skills to become the success she is today.
np tikay, I was wondering if you may engage me in a little confirm/deny now that our beloved PNL cast of misfits are no more.
For a brief while when nick persaud was presenting, they were running a $25/$50 on the gutshot skin, but the players played like ridiculously lag (50/40 etc) and going retarded spew on like really wet boards with air. There was alot of speculation the gutshot gave them money to mess around with, then got it back, so it was like play money effectively.

Wow, what a perceptive & insightful question!
It's late, I'm very tired, & I need to word my reply "just so", so I'll answer that - such as I'm able - tomorrow.
I need to cogitate on how best to reply to that......
She also had an amazing run in this years WSOP Main Event.
I fondly remember watching Kara doing a great job presenting on Now is the Night of Combat back in 2003. So did Tasmin Lucia Khan and she's gone on to have a great presenting career also - but I digress!

Not in real life no but I played a few times on PNL and posted on the forums a little bit.
There are several Posts on this Thread which I intend to reply to, but it looks like it will be tomorrow now, as we have a rehearsal, & a 4 Hour Live Show tonight, & I've been a bit waylaid today.
I've loved this thread, as it's evoked such an array of memories - good & bad. Now you've started me off, I need to blather on for a while yet.
Kara saw the Thread., by the way, & is very touched by all the nice comments. One day we will all say "I knew her before she was a superstar on American TV". And quite soon, too.
So, I'll return to Royal Flush, M3Boy, Axeman, Nik Persaud, PNL, et al.
I shall, of course, choose my words with some care & discretion.
Wow this thread .. I love it ) It more like "Midsummer Murders and "Pink Panther" with Murder on the 'Orient Express ...all rolled into one !! and..........It's serialized ...love it !!

Also, you might like to know, after PNL fizzled out I played quite a bit with JohnBoyRebel (both played $100-$200 HU SnG's on another poker site that I prob shouldn't name), and, though he was a huge donator in the .25/.50 game, he was just blowing off steam, and was actually a reg at nosebleed limit hold'em games.
Just bumping this up for you TK as you were going to update it today with your Royal Flush, M3Boy, Axeman, Nik Persaud, PNL answers. We await with baited breath lol
But also did you happen to see the final table of Late Night Poker on chanel 4 the other night and the quick exit of that ever so pleasant Luke Schwartz in last place...marvellous!
And a reminder of gutshot "play" money to loosen the tables.
lol I Have to say Luke's gobby but good, i do like some of the other forum threads that run feeds on his table chat. Some of his insults are funnay as... others are straight from the playground of a primary school lol
Agree he's good but he needs a good slap, and you right about the playground stuff the other night on tv i swear he looked like he was about to blow rasberries and stamp his feet at the players.
