That's what happens when only one news source is invited to report on goings on. Look for more of the same on future WPT events.

Re: No love for Harrington
 

^^ Nice.

Loved the blogs on ESPN.

Re: No love for Harrington
 

I'm not surprised. Most of the tournament hotshots ridicule his books and dismiss his play as "weak-tight". Just look at how obsolete, in the view of some, the whole concept of M has become.

Re: No love for Harrington
 

I've just been re-reading HoH and since then I've gone on a massive downswing. [censored] you Dan.

Re: No love for Harrington

Re: No love for Harrington

i'm pretty sure the more harrington wins, the more his book sells, the more nits there will be. so pham winning would have been good for poker unless you like playing with nits.

what am i saying? we will never run out of laggy fish

What's your current status with the WPT, are you still working the circuit for them? I know you used to do interviews and updates and such but I'm assuming their exclusivity contract would basically prevent that.

I worked as a tournament reporter briefly (I met you at Borgata last winter and Foxwoods in April actually) and it was a great experience. Sucks I can't do it anymore.

Re: No love for Harrington
 

wow - that interviewer has big boobies

Re: No love for Harrington
 

Harrington is just not exciting enuff or a lightening rod of sorts to move the needle. All of his accomplishments speak for themselves and his no-ego attitude goes hand in hand w/ that.

The final did provide a nice 3hr HU battle that won't get its justice when it's on TV next year. Bravo on structure change WPT!

The WPT let me go after season five. They brought in new personnel who wanted a directional change (breasts), and I was simultaneously making noises about change all on my own and don't think they liked that too much. As it was, they weren't posting a lot of stuff I was doing, and what they were posting was buried six clicks into the site. It was a frustrating experience at the end.

That said, I'm really worried about how the CP/WPT deal will affect year round interest in the professional game. I was only half-kidding with my first post in this thread, and think that if news outlets are told they're not welcome in the way to which they're accustomed, they'll just treat it as not newsworthy. I just pre-recorded an interview with Daniel Negreanu about this for my radio show next week.

In my view, the opinion of anyone who thinks the ratio of blinds to stack sizes is irrelevant, isn't worth a whole lot.

Uhh..say what? I must have been out of the room when this was decided. Is there an anti-Harrington (or Magriel) book or article out there I could look at for more info on this?

You're purposely saying the opposite of what's true, right?

Congrats, Dan!

HOH1 was the first book on poker I read and I have nothing but respect for the guy.
