Curious how deep it plays.

I assume this is in a private area?

well: they said like one or two years ago they would implement something so that people would be able to rail high stakes cash games in Macau. NEVER HAPPENED.
This would be the only thing I guess which would be worth railing. Big games in Vegas ? not sure anymore if anybody is interested in this

If the whale in a game like this does not want railing there will be no railing, ever. Nothing 2+2 can do.

why do you think casual players appear on HSP and others? it's probably not for the small hourly rate they earn from the shows

Some businessmen love the attention, whether they think it'll be good for their business or image (eg: Laliberté) or because they just like being in the spotlights. Others however (probably the majority of businessmen) will avoid the attention. If you're dealing with big contracts you will not want your clients seeing you gambling for millions on TV.

I agree, some businessmen love the attention and the opportunity to get their few hours on television, but there are also a bucket of businessmen who enjoy playing poker but don't want their losses to be made public.

Whether it is paranoia or not is a separate argument, but it could definitely impact business or your image to prospective clients.

Rounding the world...clever. Always gonna be a 1k/2k+ game running in a country that has fish who worship big names of the game. Better hurry, they aren't gonna be around long and won't see em until the next big series in a year.
