Official World Series of Poker ME Day 8 Thread (No spoilers for the 30 min lag crew) - Page 42 - Poker News

Ur obviously a pretty big life fish.

The more people that get involved and the more poker grows, the bigger opportunity there will be for large well-run tournaments, endorsements, etc.

Poker will continue to grow and evolve as the years progress. How is that not a good thing?

Are you sure I am a fish? I don't even think you know anything about me to make this statement. You haven't played against me so you really can't make a slanderous statement without any evidence.

Kara Scott does look cute though

It's like saying - now that I'm IN the group, I don't want anyone ELSE in the group. Which, of course, is the history of pretty much the entire world - Group A takes steps to become part of Group B, and then promptly becomes the most vocal people against letting anyone else join.

Wait, we're having an argument about whether having a knowledgeable, articulate commentator is a good thing or a bad thing? That's what's happening now?

Thank god for them internets.

Kevmode is actually not trolling, he is just a huge tool who thinks he is somewhat good at poker because he has a 500k badge on P5s!!!

Who ****ing cares, seriously.
You think too deeply about this ****. Cool...so some "fish" will know what 5-betting and hand range is. Poker is ruined forever. Terrible. Horrible.

We have an opportunity to watch the biggest poker event of the year for 6 hours a day, more than we ever have before, and this idiot is bitching about "fish" being informed. Seriously?

It's great for poker, since it shows the amount of strategic depth and skill is involved in playing. However, it's a minor detriment to your ability to profit from playing poker. It could theoretically be bad for you (that's debatable - it may lead to a lot of players misunderstanding the advice, forgetting it, applying it hilariously badly, etc.), but I can't see how it's possibly bad for poker.
