Default Re: poker ethics: do you wonder about who you\'re taking money from?


"If you're game is going to appear on the Travel Channel, then maybe you could claim to be an entertainer. Otherwise, no."

I've thought alot about this entertainment question. The reason I disagree is your above statement can be said about virtually any pro sport. Its only the BIG, final tournaments that bring in lots of viewers. Relatively speaking, how many people go see the local AA ball team, comapred to watch the World Series?

Or a better example might be, how many people go watch the local pro-bowling tournament.

While only 10 people are being "entertained" at any one given table, at least right now millions of people are being entertained watching the WSOP or the weekly WPT games.

Its like any sport - those at the top are being watched, and the rest of us are slugging it out hoping to make it to the majors one day.

my thoughts, anyway.
