Poker: Evolution - Page 2 - Poker Beats Brags and Variance

The picture is meant to illustrate the progression from the Vegas casinos of the 70's and 80's with Ungar and Doyle through to Hellmuth in the 90's and Negreanu in the early 2000's and how those players advanced the game in one way or another. Durrr and isildur dont have any chips because they represent the internet poker age where you no longer had physical chips.

I tried to show the transition into the digital age by having the dealer turn robotic and the balls of light for durrrs raise all in and it just being a number on the screen. I thought using balls of light was interesting and lets you know isildur is about to make a move and it looks kind of agressive, which i liked. I picked Durrr and Isildur because i thought their matches were the peak of online poker.

The actual size of durrr's raise has no real significance. It was originally just a place holder but i went with it.

Ok, it makes sense now that you said it, I wouldn't have come up with it myself though. But I suck at that.
