most of this thread including everything op has posted is lol

What is the most upsetting about the Big Game is that the last 2 loose cannons did not even qualify by playing the online freerolls. The show itself is there to promote the freerolls. I have played in hundreds of them,submitted my videos and then watch these loose cannons who are on the show only because they probably know someone inside pokerstars. Total BS,the dice are rigged in advance. Poker Sars should change their name to Bulls..t Stars.

The only fishy thing here is OP thoughts on the matter.

Actually I think Vanessa whispered in his ear and convinced him to make an aggressive call.

Did you notice that they are still high quality chips made specifically for the set?

Our hero? Seriously? Are you just butthurt that your precious hero got outplayed or do you just blame PokerStars every time you lose?

Lol? These are the standard South Point chips. Ever watched PAD Cash (earlier) or High Stakes seasons 3 & 4? All playing with dice chips ha? lol

you are wrong OP.

And what would be the advantage to one of the two biggest online pokersites to put a show on television where pros are fed info to help them win against a player that said site is freerolling?

op you're an idiot. like really really dumb.

DN makes terrible calls like that all the time.

During one episode there was a closeup of a chip from the hole card cams and I slo-mo'd it and saw the chips said Sands Point on them. I don't know if they're actual cash chips but they seem to at least be actual casino chips from where the game is held.

For legal reasons I think the casino has to run the game but pokerstars runs the show.

If the LC wins, pokerstars gets its 100K back and his winnings come out of the pockets of the other players, so they lose nothing. If the LC busts, 100K disappears into a pro's pockets.
If PS loses 100K every time a LC busts and doesn't lose anything when he wins, it makes no sense to suggest the show is rigged to make the LC go broke.

Indeed.

It cannot be rigged.

If the LC looses all his money, $100,000 go to an established pro (from the pocket of the producers of the show).

If the LC manages to win something, PokerStars (= the people who stacked him) does not lose anything. They keep their money (their $100,000). And the LC only take money from one of the established pro. For instance, if the LC has $165,000 at the end of the week, he can keep $65,000.

So I don't see why the producers would like to see the LC going broke. On the contrary : this is more interesting for them to have a semi-decent player who has a real chance to be a winning player at the end of the session. Isn't it ?

All the stakes for all the loose canons for an entire season is peanuts to PokerStars.

Why aren't people discussing how rigged it is? Because it is ****ing dumb to discuss it..

If you want to talk riggtard nonsense at least understand the priorities of the people in charge of the show. It's pretty obvious that it is better for PS if the amateur loose cannons are able to walk away with a profit at a table of pros than if they bust (for PR reasons more than the 100k they lose when the LC busts).

With that in mind you'd be better off looking at a hand like the Wiggins-Hellmuth one that gave Wiggins a healthy profit for the week but required the deck to bail him out at ridiculous odds 3 out of 4 times.

These situations that you have brought up are completely standard plays given the scenarios and they don't even fit in with the goals of the show.

Honestly, It's a pretty easy call. LC was shoving any flop, and everyone at the table, and probably 90% of veiwers knew it.

didnt read the OP since its pretty delusional whatever wall of text he has written to come to that conlusion.

but, really OP? really?

I thought this thread was going to be about doyle getting big pairs every hand in the second week.

But it's just another thread about Daniels questionable plays.

This is ridiculous, ban OP imo

LOL at the show being rigged and LOL at Daniel. Awesome call.

choose week 2, episode 5, Hand #130 => confirmed rigged

I didn't watch them but if they didn't qualify through the freerolls how did they get on?

this thread is still open?
