Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (week of 2/19 - Mon 5-5 NL)
This is awesome! Poker tournaments with hole card cameras!? This is simply the greatest idea I have ever heard of. I can't understand how nobody thought of this before. This stuff should be on every cable TV channel. Actually it is very smart of The Bike to establish themselves as the first to bring this technology to the masses. Just in case cable TV gets wind of this. I would stick with Live at the Bike anyway, this is cutting edge stuff!
Even if they did it on TV it could never possibly have the same video or sound quality of Live at the Bike. And this handy archive access.. How could TV ever compete? Unless... what if they created a device that captured video? Maybe some kind of tape machine or even some space age hard drive device. Even if they did create such a device how could they possibly compete with the speedy archive posting that the Bike provides. Maybe they could somehow make it real time? Not to mention how unreliable that dam cable TV signal can be. Oh yeah and all those crazy technical issues. TV is also notorious for never starting on time. Yeah, cable is probably better off never competing with the bike.
It will probably never catch on anyway. Which is good because maybe the market would get saturated. No way, who could you ever get sick of hole card camera tournaments?
I just hope heading in this new tournament direction doesn’t piss off any of the announcers. I hope nobody ever quits over something like this. Nah, what kind of guy would have the stones to do that?
Is it possible to overdose on sarcasm? I am starting to feel sick. Yeah, it has to be the sarcasm... Yeah, the sarcasm…
