It truly astounds me how many 2+2ers are so intuitive, business minded, tech savvy and omnipotent when it comes to organizing, supplying, broadcasting, streaming, recording live video poker games. And to think with all of this armchair quarterbacking, not one of these "geniuses" has thought to go into competition with L@TB. Surely, if they had $15 for the subscription, they had the hundreds of thousands it took to run the broadcast each month.

And of course, they all had instant access to great staff like cameraman Ray, Graphic recorder, Ronnie, Director, Isaac, Commenattors like Bart and Dave, and of course, Evilene's job as producer was just a walk in the park.

If just a fraction of you people had an inkling of what it took to run this show, you would be thankful for all that it provided for the equivalent of less than 1 big blind per month. Yes, I played on the show regularly and enjoyed it. But, biases aside, I also saw what went into the show, the heart, soul and dedication of a great many people, for very little compensation and little praise or commendation. Remember, it was the first, and really only live, cash poker game broadcast from a local casino, with recreational players and professional production quality...barring mechanical glitches that are always unavoidable. yet all everyone could do was bitch that they wanted limit, or they wanted smaller games like they played, or the larger game, or the whale game, or final tables, or playboy bunnies, or.......

I, too, am sorry to see it go, and hopefully they will get a program together that is a win-win for everyone. The casino was "giving" the space to Joker Gaming (Poker Netcast) and now they realize that the space occupied by the game itself, production room and office, could be used to house 7-9 tables and generate more revenue. Pity, but the casino is a business and as such cannot afford to give away the farm.

Anyhow, that's my rant. I wish everyone luck in their poker careers (except maybe against me) and if you see me at The Bike, Commerce, Bellagio or Wynn, come say hello.
