Re: Phil Gordon is a Horse\'s Ass

How many casual poker fans were watching the PPV last night?

I sweated Phil Gordon for a bit over at Full Tilt tonight so that i could provide some positive and negative feedback on the broadcast. He estimated that the audience broke down to: 20% casual, 60% intermediate to advanced amatuer, and 20% professional or expert level.
FYI, he classified himself as an advanced amateur, which is why, he claimed, he tried leaving the more advanced analysis to the guests. I still think he dumbed down the broadcast too much (e.g. "you only hit the flop 35% of the time"), but he maintains that was necessary. I do recognize that it's bloody hard to analyze 3rd level thinking when you have no clue what any of the hole cards are.
