Re: WPT should be sued
Once WPT events get to the final table, they are no longer poker tournaments. They become TV shows.
What's the best thing to do for the ending of a 2 hour TV show? Go to black, and then show Mr Forrester with Mr Van Pattener and Mr Sextoner drinking beer, or see a real finish? It's a TV show. What might happen in a real poker tournament shouldn't apply. ps. Hi Evey [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: WPT should be sued
[ QUOTE ]
honest question - is jj really actually good at poker? [/ QUOTE ] All signs point to yes. She's one of the only two women to make multiple open-invite WPT final tables, and everyone in attendance including Forrest were very impressed with her play at the Bay 101 final table. She has a weak image, but she got a lot more aggressive at the final table and the boys were definitely scared to play with her, letting her run them over as a result.

Hi Evey [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] Actually, I don't think it would be so terrible for the WPT to cut the show and say the two agreed to a 'deal' because J.J. wasn't feeling well. It would be incredibly human of them and I think it would be received well. As it stood, they took on some significant risk that something really bad could happen to J.J. and some would blame them for not cutting it short (essentially blaming the WPT for 'making' her continue to play). How bad would that publicity be? Geez, nothing really bad happened to her apparently, and they're still taking a P.R. hit. How is this going to play on TV? Are they going to show footage of her doubled-over in pain and looking like she is about to faint and really NEEDS to be going to a hospital? All the while mentioning, "Wow Vince. She really cares about this event. Remember that she's 4 months pregnant while she's suffering these pains. So she's essentially risking the health of her own baby because she wants her own SPECTACULAR WPT TITLE so badly!!" BECAUSE it was a TV event is exactly why they probably should have taken care of this a bit differently and just said, "Screw our 'no deals' policy. This is different." Because they don't want to risk the huge publicity hurt if something really bad had happened to her.

[ QUOTE ] Lol Tseaments [/ QUOTE ] the correct term is lolovertaments. [/ QUOTE ] I'm sorry, but we can't accept that. Perhaps if you said "LOlivertaments" we could give it furthur consideration, but unfortunatly we are rejecting your contribution. We also would accept "Lol Squintaments".
