1. Why does Jimmy/PTC even exist, it doesn't even make sense why WSOP/Caesars it's allowing one of it's own employees to create an outside company and collect middle man fees from Harrahs AND the players in order to do something that WSOP/Caesars could do themselves
2. Why does he feel it is appropriate for him to suggest poker players skip the WSOP or WSOPc if they don't agree with their ever increasing fees. As a representative of the WSOP to suggest that people that do not agree with them or their response to issues does not seem appropriate.
3. Explain why the WSOP/Caesars feels the need to embrace placing an ever increasing percentage of the burden for dealer compensation while referencing the travel expenses involved with providing quality dealers/staff when the EPT and other superior tours with less events at more expensive locations compared to the WSOPc are able to sufficiently compensate their staff? Possibly Caesars would be able to pay their staff appropriately if they weren't taking on so much overhead contracting out the logistics of the WSOPc to an apparently extremely well paid 3rd party company?
