You have to be careful not to make it seem like an infomercial for online poker, I think you did that and there was definitely a sense of openness and honesty. Having said that, I agree with whoever said there are lots of great things you could include about what young poker players get to do with all this money. That's definitely a big part of this subculture and would be only right to incorporate. What does the middle class guy next door do when he suddenly has a 7 figure roll? Would be good TV.
If you can earn an income that provides for your family, you don't need to feel guilty about being selfish or not contributing anything to society. There are tens of thousands of people in this country who play around with other people's money and produce literally nothing at the end of the day, and are hailed as captains of industry.
I think MOST posters here realize that as a documentary filmmaker your primary goal is not to promote online poker but to make a good documentary - but some VERY LIGHT editing could take care of the feeling of unwholesomeness or depressing elements that may come across to the general public, while maintaining candidness.
Again great job.
