Game of Gold: New Poker After Dark

they did a mini reunion promoting season 2 - while it was extremely brief and light on content, there were some interesting things - like we now know why nikita made that seemingly insane draft where she passed over players with more credentials, for example, josh had just previously given a speech about how much the team element sucked and he didn't like it so this led her to believe he would be a toxic presence on her squad - honestly, i think not including that was a bit intentional, as it gave nikita more of a story arc from "hopeless" to "crusher" as that decision was some of the first real exposure we got of her and it was unanimously viewed as idiotic but wouldn't have been if we had the context which explained the decision

there were some notable absences and they tease that there will be an all new cast with adding a "just kidding" so will be interesting to see if those who are not present will be replaced in s2 or just couldn't make it to film this promo spot

they also strongly hinted we're going to see a lot more stuff like indian poker because those indian poker shorts went viral and were huge for the show - so they'll very clearly be aiming at contests that'll produce great short clips that'll work on tiktok and youtube shorts

Looks like these 6 weren't in the reunion pic:
Jason Koon
Kevin Martin
Lukas Robinson
Charlie Carrel
Andy Tsai "Andy Stacks"
Michael Soyza

Other than Charlie, the rest pretty forgetable from season 1.

If you miss Charlie, just go around the house screaming "Let's gooooooo" in some sort of weird Eurotrash accent for a couple of hours, and you'll feel his presence.

Agreed, would've loved to see more Koon though. Not really his fault he didn't get the chance to be more prominent on the show

something tells me we won't be seeing koon again
