Posted by Mark: I'd like to see if Phil Helmuth would have the guts to badmouth Holyfield if Holyfield ever won after a bad play.
I dont think Holyfield will ever appear in any tv show or even close to that. Hell probably stick with being the part of ownership.
I remember once in High Stakes Poker "The Simpsons" co producer Sam Simon was playing also with the big shots, and he got beaten up so bad in there lol, even against Hellmuth

Wow. Poker is about money Never thought about that.
Hahaha, well TECHNICALLY, it's not. It's all about the math . . . the BUSINESS of making poker profitable for a casino-type house/corporation, well, that IS all about the MONEY (which, ultimately, is still rooted in MATH and some science). Anyways, I think the prospect of live video feed of the cards being dealt IRL is boss. I'm not some RNG conspiracy nut, and even if there are algorithms to tilt the scales between (mostly aggro) fish and everyone else, poker played within a casino/house is mostly controlled similarly, but less efficiently, with card sharp dealers. Nonetheless, the experience of real dealers/live video makes my mouth water. Rush Poker would probably still be my game of choice, though.
