Is Joe McKeehen the worst main event winner in the past 15 years? - Page 11 - Poker News

Again think about it, in an age that most high profile poker players tweet regularly, our main event 'champion' blocks his account!! Just disgraceful and embarrassing.

It's disgraceful to keep A TINY BIT of privacy?

I would never EVER use ANY social media in McKeehen's Situation.
You definitely get enough attention when 90% of people recognize your face in every pokerroom.
What can I do, I'm a bad person.

Worst in terms of ability? Of course not. In fact he might be the best in the poker boom era.

Pretty sure worst in terms of ambassador and entertaining since the poker boom is Pius Heinz. Dude just disappeared.

Yeah but simply being a winner from a new country was something. Germany is big time now.

Like if an Indian won it this year it would be huge for poker in India (a growing market) regardless of the individuals personality.

I remember that being the result of payout structure changes that allowed McKeehen to build a huge stack pre-FT, and then some extremely competent management of that stack to win the title. So while I agree it was a really bad viewing experience I can't see holding that against him.
