The words that come out of his mouth there are the biggest load of **** I've ever heard.
OK, thanks now that is indeed a pile of bull and puts what was so cringeworthy in perspective. Thanks! :-)
He really did call them both out for AK and still folded QQ? lol
Must have been trolling them hard or be an idiot or simply a loud exclamation of sort of probability thoughts like "they both MAY have a mere AK or sth."
Whatever it is, I guess Dwan and others are happy to have Dnegs in that line up :-)

Yeah, **** you PokerGo for wanting to operate as a business and make some profit.
I can't believe how ridiculous some people are. You think they will just put together a full live broadcast for ****s and giggles?
I don't think any player owes anybody a flying **** just like you do and I think no one is entitled to have any demands etc. of well-known players.
However, I think that your critique is a but undifferentiated as the perspective changes a little when we talk about larger companies that have a claim to fame and a customer base and so on and so on.
They depend heavily on an approving majority that keeps the company's mojo running. Out of customers, out of business. If there's a major **** up then a company may never recover from that hit and loses its trust and customer base and rightly so.
So I think that makes a big difference and it was never actually "for free" when Poker High Stakes and the likes ran on free TV. They earned mirrions by all those ads. Many of those ads by Full Tilt and other (online ) gambling operators which is now basically dead in the US.
Companies can and should -all power to them and good luck!- make moniez off of us with all sorts of content and stuff but I for one won't support that.
As I explained having pay-only Poker games is not furthering Poker. Sites can be the least happy ones about PokerGo.
In contrast, a Poker player's customer base is the players at the table (usually) so he can't care less what others think about him and for online players especially that's basically even in the irrelevant category.

Absolutely and fully agree. But you and me and others on that forum are already Poker players or have been even for many years while new players won't enter the game without TV.
I'd love to pay for PokerGo and I think it is GREAT and AMAZING for me personally to watch my old heros play. THANKS MORI ESKANDANI(!!!) for making that possible. But on the other hand I have the feeling that I may support that business model and it may be instated for good moving forward if enough people do. Newcomers and n00bs and people that never played for money won't ever be brought to the game by pay-per-view and what have you there is and I simply don't want to support that.
I may be a stubborn idiot for that, of course. But I hope it makes at least some sense what I just uttered and I hope that industry heavy weights and people like Mori, Negreanu and many others openly rally for legalization of online Poker instead.
