Default Re: Club Ettiquettes - would u do business in this situation?

One of the most important skills in live big bet poker is keeping the good games running. This doesnt seem like a problem now, in the midst of a Gold Rush, but in the future having these skills are just as important, if not more so, than your EV in any particular hand - and running cards doesnt change that anyway, as people have already stated.

Or to put it another way, say this guy plays in The World's Softest Private Game. Now you're officially a jerj, what's the chance of you getting an invite? Or say this player, who can easily afford to lose 6 figures a year, now sees the light and realises people just see him as an ATM, and quits for good.

A nice way to look at it is that you are in the entertainment business first, the gambling business second.

Alternate Universe you's are making more money.
