CEO Twitch stream 01st April 2015 6pm ET - Page 6 - Winning Poker Network -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Tip for streaming... include the chat box in the actual stream somewhere. PM me if you need help setting that up but it's pretty straight forward.

There's a fair number of people who can't watch it live but do watch the VOD later, but we can't see the chat in the VOD and you're not always reading the question before answering it. Would be helpful to see the chat in the stream for the VOD.

Cliffs from today? I tried to watch the stream now in the past broadcasts but half is muted due to the music blocking twitch does.

The CEO will be on live on twitch as soon as we get to the Final Two Tables, make sure you tune in.

here's what needs to be addressed, but wasn't...

1. the new players attracted will not be attracted to other variants

2. it will, however, steal players from existing variants (cash games worse)

3. rec players will lose at a faster rate (economic common sense.. you can't use resources faster than they can be replenished in a sustainable system)

4. the few winners won't reinvest in cash games (this is principle, one or two exceptions don't disprove the general rule)

5. other posters who seem to know their **** (santa cruz), have said that jackpot poker in fact hasn't helped the cash game economy in other sites like stars... thus confirming everything in points #1-4... and why its so infuriating to keep hearing the same refrain, "these have been highly successful at bringing new players into the economy at other sites", which.. while true, doesn't touch the complaints

so.. if we could never hear that reasoning as a stand alone again.. that would be great...

it MUST be.. "these have been highly successful at bringing new players to the site.. AND... here's why we think we will be able to get a decent percentage of these new players to play other variants while not losing existing players to the new variant... where other sites seemingly haven't been able to..."

does anyone know if these points were addressed? the twitch was unavailable to me so i never watched it.

-Time line for WSOP Jackpots to be launched, and any other WSOP promos coming in the pipeline?

-Whatever format WSOP Jackpots eventually takes, can we expect to see additional "Jackpot Satellites" of a similar nature for other events (Million dollar Sundays, Punta Cana, etc).
