Re: So I guess Stars isn\'t asking to show hole cards at FT\'s anymore.

not a big deal, imo.

Don't you think its kind of wrong to tack on this requirement without giving anything in return to the players? What's the basis for being forced to reveal your hole cards in an online final table? Obviously it's a great marketing attraction for the site, so it'd be nice if they gave us something in return. Certainly they don't have to, and, since they hold all the strings, probably won't. In any case, it seems uncharacteristic and unfair of Stars to implement this sort of thing, and it doesn't sit well with me.

When you play live televised events what do you get?

You get screwed!
I'm more-or-less serious, and I think being on tv is mostly useless and annoying. BUT, it does create possible opportunities for ancillary income, gives you the chance to express yourself (in whatever limited fashion, through poker) to an international audience and your own 15 seconds of fame, etc.
But the reason you pointed out still lends to the argument that Stars is doing the wrong thing...we know we get screwed with things in the live poker world, and Stars is supposed to be a more friendly and accommodating venue for poker.
