The proposal aims high. According to what was shown in the trailer, the series does not seek to sell a room or make empty propaganda, but rather to portray the real weight that poker has in Texas, from its roughest roots—marked by underground games and shady environments—to the modern era of social clubs, which try to maintain a model adjusted to the law and far from the old stigma.
