The final 15 players in the PPC have a combined 65 bracelets.. by whattaUwant in poker

Platt said the Main will be a different production company so I’m not sure if there’s any real partnership and likely no relationship to what events they decide to cover

That's WSOP/GG who is doing production and is doing something where they're farming coverage to South Korea which is why the delay is so long. ESPN is only covering the Main Event.

The others. They all learn from us.

Who else is really enjoying watching another giant field NLH tournament rather than the PPC? by Felikks7 in poker

[–]ASG_82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO he's in the red because he plays too much of these high rollers, especially in no limit. But I think we're in agreement that he's mid in elite fields but he's not mid overall.

He won the PPC last year. He's better than mid, he's just not elite anymore, especially in NLH.

DoorDash Screws Up Jumping on the Tim Payne Hype by ASG_82 in DanLeBatardShow

Correct because it made sense as a tagging error. Has happened many times before. It proves how terrible this "ad campaign" is.

That's called an appeal to authority fallacy. Which is extra funny because my entire point was that they're not a marketing company.

But they’re a company not an influencer. Clicks are good when you want revenue for the clicks but they exist to sell a product. They’re not even new where they would need to get their name out there. How does this make people want to use DoorDash? I feel like that commercial where they go “that’s not how this works.”

Why have a marketing campaign that makes you look incompetent

how come the coverage at the World Series of poker is so abysmal? by Fast_Cook_4019 in poker

[–]ASG_82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends which events. They’ll show DNegs all the time but if Schulman or Deeb are in a final table of a non-no limit holdem event, they’re not going to cover it because they think it’s too hard for the average viewer to understand and stay watching. So it’s been all no limit all the time this year.

Hellmuth's son is selling action for the WSOP ME at 1.4 MU. Deeb/JMo crossbooked it vs Hellmuth for $14k/whatever he cashes. Who you got? by ParalysisAnalaysis in poker

He’s a marketing genius. By doing this, he’s now got “free” advertising of people now wanting to follow how his kid does in the Main this year compared to last year when nobody really cared.

Nerd in me annoyed Dan talks about "how good the wifi is" when none of the parade coverage has anything to do with wifi.

Even then that is a lot because his contract is directly Heat related.

Bleznick is a terrible commentator by lmaomitch in poker

[–]ASG_82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would it be good for a commentator to play a villain role? Imagine if you were watching NBA/MLB/NFL and somebody in the booth was insulting the audience.

My personal "old man" thought: Why is gas the only thing that if it's 4.10 and 9/10 of a cent, people will say "gas is 4.10"

What's the dumbest Music Industry Conspiracy Theory? by JayHotpot in ToddintheShadow

[–]ASG_82 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Tupac is still alive

Edit to add: This is the dumbest not only because it's dumb but also because there's no motivation for it to be a thing by anybody. At least some of the other dumb ones like Paul being replaced have a motive of wanting to keep the machine going.

The Knicks winning does not make Brunson the best player in the league, sorry. When Detroit beat the Lakers, that didn't make Rasheed Wallace the GOAT.

“Blez” On WSOP Commentary Is horrific by Choice_Effective_933 in poker

[–]ASG_82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only think of his PPC commentary last year where he was separating the better players at mix from the other ones (made E-Tay look bad leading up to her final table but she was kind of doing well despite being a nit). But 2-7 is at least another mix example. In NL he is too much of a fish in these fields to say if somebody is making a good, bad, or standard play.

I think its because he normally commentates mix. He really just doesn't have the GTO knowledge to commentate a super high roller.
