Message: [QUOTE="Vollycat, post: 986028, member: 23635"] Where I understand the thinking of this, I dunno.....but that comes from a poker player. As a poker player I don't think I could watch much of this--think Celebrity Poker Showdown. That had to be some of the WORST poker on TV. Why--because it was being played by people who didn't know jack about the game. Sure Phil Gordon would make some great comments, but still. I understand the premise of getting some hype about the game, but watching a bunch of ametuers when we as a group are trying to convince the whole world this is a game of skill is just not the answer. People know all about poker now. It's hype is certainly here. We need to teach them that this game is not easy and there is a significant level between the garage game, and the professionals. Great as a charity event, not great for poker at all. [/QUOTE]
