Re: Ty Stewart\'s \"Blockbuster\" idea for 2008 WSOP
I think the primary problem with this idea is that it would allow extensive training/learning by the players who happen to make the final table and aren't very good, thereby minimizing the equity of the better players. Additionally, one of the skills employed at the final table is using the knowledge you acquired during the tournament about the particular players, and this would go out the window because in many cases I think you would be facing a totally different player a few months later.
If they want to broadcast it live with hole cards, just broadcast it live with hole cards on PPV. Or on ESPN. Do they really think anyone is currently watching the ME Final Table broadcast without already knowing who won?
