Default Re: Reactions of WPT/WSOP Winners

I wonder if "amateurs" who sneak into the final table at WPT
events are actually told not to "go crazy". I think Lipscomb
and the management of the WPT don't want it to appear like wrestling. I guess Phil Laak got a free pass that one time.

I was wondering if maybe they would encourage outrageous behavior, because it's good for TV. Kinda like on the price is right when the lady wins a set of stainless steel cookware. She goes berzerk like she just won a million dollars. lol. They must pick contestants that are a bit nuts. I've never seen a "normal" person get on stage on any of these game shows.

Personally, if I won a million dollars or a set of stainless steel cookware, I don't think I'd act any different than normal. I'd just try to act polite and tactful or whatever. Just because you're on TV doesn't mean you can act like an ass, does it? As far as winning a million dollars, it would take several days, if not several weeks for it to really sink in, for me, anyway. It's not like I'd blow it all that night on hookers and whisky or anything.
