Ah, I think he's doing a good job with the broadcast. I had no idea he could be so personable away from the table. I'd almost call him charming.

Almost.

Poker players have always spent money freely, and almost recklessly, how does this have anything to do with jumping the shark? It's just a slight bump up the ladder of spending... but its hardly an example that poker has become too main stream.

Yes, he is very good. I have seen him on some previous WSOP broadcasts and he was good. This broadcast is really good. Not like Lederer, but good.

You think Phil is making enough for a jet from his poker playing?

You can buy a 1/8 fractional share of a CitationJet for 500K, plus you don't have to screw with hiring pilots, A&P's, scheduler's etc, just pay a monthly fee and an aircraft is available within 8 hours of a phone call to your frax operator.

Al?

i think a better discussion is about what daniel was thinking calling phil out over live radio like that telling him to challenge him to a game. i think that was a low blow to put phil in a situation like that. phil's business model is to advertise himself as the greatest poker player of all time and his rejection of daniels offer shows that he believes daniel is the stronger player, at least by his reasoning.

i dont think that was appropriate of daniel there.

phil tried to respond with how he might only be a small edge making the gamble not worth the variance but then decided to avert that strategy and blow off daniels offer by saying the 500k isnt even enough to buy a jet, as if its a waste of his time. probably the smarter approach.
