This would never air today. Even though at this small little 1.5k event there were 4 name pros and two randos with a dream. I still don't think anyone sits at home randomly turns on poker and dreams of playing high rollers. If they did you'd have bigger fields by now.
Upscaled this from a DVD from a different time.

STANDING AROUND OUTSIDE SMOKING CIGARETTES LIKE A TOTAL LOWLIFE. NO PHONES NO BULLSHIT JUST HANGING OUT WITH JACK SHIT TO DO WATCHING THE CARS GO PAST AND BEING COMPLETELY UNACCOUNTABLE TO ANYONE. IT WAS GLORIOUS

People who actually lived through the 1990s:
what’s something you genuinely miss from that decade that just doesn’t feel the same today?

Real talk is that they should be showing day 1 of the high rollers and NOT the FTs. Casuals aren’t excited about the immediate $ and highlighting what they’re playing for does a similar thing and it’s a 1000x better product for all. Show limit FTs and NL day 1s ICM kills viewing experience

Seeing all these accounts of people from Europe coming over to America for the World Cup and seeing how awesome stuff is reminds me of when @DougStanhope tried to tell you all how great things are.

Used to hate spoilers, but if they want to be silly and not stream things reasonably I'm all for it.

Much like the pyramids that the ancient Egyptians once built. No one can figure out how @wsop @espn was able to stream two or three events at once.
Somehow this amazing technological achievement was lost through the ages and after 2016 has never been attempted again.

I mean, do we really need an app ratings dealers? Just a simple camera setup and seeing someone do this should be enough to thin out the herd.

WSOP is now putting copyright claims on the clips
Restricting their own platform from getting eyes
Get these boomers out of poker ASAP before they kill it
Jun 3
The @WSOP account blocked our account on X for posting poker clips that did 1M impressions in 72 hours.
That one sentence explains exactly why poker keeps missing the moment.
Every other entertainment niche understands clips are distribution. Streamers, combat sports, sports betting, esports, podcasts, creators — clips create fans. They create characters, storylines, inside jokes, arguments, and momentum.
Poker keeps treating them like a threat.
Our clips from the streams did 1M impressions in 72 hours.
That’s free distribution. That’s people choosing to watch poker because the moment was packaged in a way the internet actually understands.
And that’s the deeper issue: poker takes itself way too seriously.
Too much prestige. Too much gatekeeping. Too much perfect-poker talk. Too much legacy media energy. Too much pretending the game is supposed to be some sterile intellectual exercise.
Poker is gambling.
Skill plus luck. Ego plus pressure. Money, chaos, reads, pain, glory.
The greatest game ever invented.
There has never been a more normal time to gamble. People bet sports, blackjack, slots, crypto, prediction markets, even the weather.
The gambling audience is massive.
Poker should be eating right now.
Instead, the industry keeps pushing the same overly serious, old-guard version of the game and wondering why younger people don’t care about the legacy brands.
They don’t want legacy.
They want something fun, social, youthful, and alive.
If poker wants more recreational players, more fans, more fish, more energy, and more money in the ecosystem, it has to stop acting like every clip, joke, and personality is a threat to the sacred temple.
Lighten up and the game gets bigger.
Poker should be the world’s game.
Let people gamble.

Reentry in the main is inevitable. It’s amazing it lasted this long without it
May 28
PREDICTION: WSOP Main Event numbers will be down from last year and down again for a third year in a row next year, at which point it will be made into a ‘single-re-entry’.
