Basically if they can't be flexible - they need to have a fixed camera/no hole cards/no graphics on every Final Table.

Otherwise for the people who want WSOP coverage they are useless

Missing PH 16th and missing this Final Table if any of the big names get to it... is useless

Sad to say, I'd be happy [now] for them to go out of business... no one else want to do the WSOP... and the WSOP going back to filming all tables, no graphics, no hole cards.... and Tuchman or Ali can get in a booth if they are free/want to... I mean, PokerGo have forgotten the 'real' fans - are not casual fans. The people who sub to them don't need a super professional production at a cost to them guessing months ahead at which few final tables they will cover

Without being able to be flexible - they should have every FT covered bascially. It's that simple

G'ah

I hate PokerGo now

I'm again missing a FT I really want to see... and I paid for the privilege

Oh...

And no wonder Mr PokerGo is hiding

Ashamed?

Nice engagement guys. I guess you really know and understand the wants and needs of your customer base

Hmm

Fyi, Jake and Luke Schwartz are 2 different persons.

Come on. Enough about the logistics. Logan Paul could stream every event to his Youtube channel. Almost any successful Twitch streamer could figure it out. PokerGO is a joke.

We all know these logistical issues, and have known them since the WSOP was first televised. They bought the rights to show the content and didn't set themselves up to address these challenges. The production model should have been specifically designed to be flexible in these spots.

They are idiots and scammers. Stop defending them. Their rep won't even sign in to defend them.

Yes. This is likely going to be the worst WSOP in terms of coverage. I hope they change things up before next summer’s. But I don’t think people realize how big of a deal the WSOP going off of ESPN will be. We lose our prime spot and one chance to be on the big stage. How many people gain poker interest from casually watching on ESPN? That is all going to Go away now. And if even the hardcore fans (like us who are on a forum) are barely interested to check out the streams then it is a big issue.

The logistics argument holds no weight when WSOP themselves successfully did it for zero profit previously

It's not yet too late.

The key Pokergo decision makers must now have an emergency meeting to have 3 tables in their studio ready to shoot any final table at a moment's notice. 24-7.

As for announcers. Round up volunteer commentators from the coaching, podcasting and vlogging segments who, in exchange for free publicity for their platforms, would gladly announce for free from their remote locations.

I agreed. WSOP made a huge mistake in leaving ESPN. Casual fans watched and got interested in poker. Now that base is long gone, and it certainly won't be coming back anytime soon. And fresh players are sorely needed in the poker world on all levels. Maybe this is a one shot deal for PokerGo to make some cash. If that's the case I'd like to see what the subscription numbers are and if the gamble paid off. As for myself, I have no intention of subscribing to PokerGo and from what I've read that looks to be a sound decision. I can easily wait until CBS Sports runs the edited version down the road. Frankly, it's not that big of a deal.

I joined this year just to watch the wsop final tables being played by notable pros. So disappointed in the coverage. It would be line the NBC olympics skipping coverage of a Michel Phelps medal final. Will end my subscription after the main event.

Do you really think that WSOP left ESPN .. or ESPN left WSOP?

I know what the headlines say and why would ESPN even give it a 2nd thought to dispute the headlines.

When I don't want a job at my company I just raise my price so I don't get it. GL

And I bet watching it for free isn't even an incentive to watch it.


whatever

.

Live chat beta and the 10k dealers choice....wow Pokergo moving in the right direction finally

Does that mean YouTube too?

wow, I guess I was wrong

It's only Hellmuth, Negreanu, and Matusow at same table

Good work, Pokergo!!!

Nimble-ness and flexibility is king!!!

Pokergo has listened to the voice of the people! Good work!

Maybe they realized viewers don’t give a crap if all the percentage-to-win graphics aren’t available for all 10 games or however many there are, and using that as some kind of broadcast impediment is just silly.

Live chat is up and running.

Change username in profile if you wish.

Awesome for PokerGO to come to their senses and stream this thing.

I always wonder though, is PokerGO long term plan is to make bank if online poker goes national. It’s a big time money sink and I can’t really understand how they can stick around with this current model.

Hmm.... they could have told me this when I emailed them instead of saying it wasn't possible.......

And live chat too....

Well TBH as it's on an hour delay - I think I'll hide that ... there's always an idiot who tells ppl about players who bust

But TY PokerGo

xx

Oh... and I was the first just now to write TEST and that started us all responding ... I thought I was alone in there

As I said I will avoid chat because of the delay

Couldn't agree more. The old and free WSOP streams were much better.

+1

He is great; one of the few redeeming factors.

^^ This

Glad they have your approval.

Sums it up.

Avoiding chat for delay is only if you are seeing something at the event is ahead of the stream. Otherwise anything you see on stream is fine to talk about, just not any pokernews updates, etc. before it happens on stream.

It's only a 15 minute delay today I believe.
