[QUOTE="MDTed, post: 790447, member: 32475"]
I also listened to Greenstein on the pokercast and he talked in depth about it. After hearing his opinions (he's on the committee that had to agree to this change) I don't think anymore that it's totally bad, at least if you're a professional player.
 
They aren't going to show any of the prerecorded parts of the Main Event for 3 months, then show them for 2 weeks and have 2 weeks off before the actual final table. So, even though you can go out and get coaching, it's not like you're going to be able to specifically target a person's game until after that 3 month period.
 
Even then how many hands per player do you suppose they are going to show? 10? 15? Surely no more than that and I think it's unlikely that anyone is going to be able to totally extrapolate a player's style from that small a sample.
 
Since you're not finishing up the viewing until 2 weeks before the final table I don't see it being that bad a deal. I do think that Harrah's or ESPN or someone in charge of the ME should be forced to purchase insurance for every final table member to, let's say, whatever the money is for 4th place just in case something happens that was out of the player's control.
