Whether or not the Mouth is good for poker, he is good for TV. The fact that this is being discussed here is evidence of that. Mike the Mouth, Tony G, etc., are the guys we love to hate. Not all that different from watching pro wrestling, now that I think about it.

Tony G is scary...

I don't think what is good for TV and what is good for poker are the same. I think there's some grief out there now, and that in a while it may escalate as people boycott certain events because of certain corporate rules.. If this type of stuff we're seeing now continues to escalate (Danny N. w/the TOC, Blind structure in 06 WSOP endgame, etc) it may just result in poker becoming yesterday's thing, and having a lot of the easy money walk out the door with the cameras.

Nothing is popular forever, and the world seems saturated with poker right now.... I hope it can last long enough for me to add a digit or two onto the old bankroll before it tightens back up.
