Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Ivey really isn't that good for tv. Doesn't bring much in the way of personality. Very quiiet. Great player though. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Anonymous Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 pro is a prowhy ivey?He's also male, under 30, and spent most of his youth playing video games.....sounds like about 75% of everyone who watches poker on tv and plays online. Link to post Share on other sites
Sushiman 0 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Ivey winning would be very exciting for the poker world but it wouldn't make more idiots want to play poker. Guys like Moneymaker winning make poker more popular. Link to post Share on other sites
Socrates 0 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Ivey winning would be very exciting for the poker world but it wouldn't make more idiots want to play poker. Guys like Moneymaker winning make poker more popular.Beat me to it. I was basically going to say the same thing. If a pro wins, you'll see some fish dissapear. If another pro wins next year, prepare for the demise of easily profitable poker.While a lot of people will argue that poker still has potential, it also has the potential to fall away. I've seen more and more "new poker addicts" stop watching the WPT, showing up at games and stop hosting games over the past 6 months or so. While it may seem like new people come in everyday, I think there are just as many people leaving the poker world after seeing they are a losing player, have lost interest or just don't find it "cool" anymore. One of the local bars that I go to used to have 100+ ppl showing up to play in their free tournaments 6 months ago; now they have the same 30 people every week. They said that the people who used to play still come in, but say they have lost interest.Someone winning the ME after getting in through a $40 satellite would do more for the popularity of the game than any pro.

greatwhite 0 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 pro is a prowhy ivey?Because Ivey is the best there is in the world today. Only Ungar was better than him. Link to post Share on other sites

Guys like Moneymaker winning make poker more popular.I rather see some fish leave the WSOP. I mean the top finishers are not getting that much more than they did the year before. Actually the 3rd place finisher is making the same amount of money, $2.5 million. That makes no sense. Link to post Share on other sites
speedz99 145 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Ivey really isn't that good for tv. Doesn't bring much in the way of personality. Very quiiet. Great player though.I disagree. While guys like Matusow make for great tv throughout the tourney, most people don't want to see him win. Everyone I know would rather a badass quiet pro like Ivey take all his money and win the whole thing. The loud obnoxious guys are villians in the tv poker world. While they are fun to watch, it is most fun to watch them lose.If I was playing against Ivey I would probably wet myself. That has nothing to do with anything else we are talking about, I just wanted to let y'all know. Link to post Share on other sites

greatwhite 0 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Ivey makes great TV, because you can learn from him. People like Matusow and Tony G only teach people how to be a jackass while playing poker. Although Matusow (Tony G is just annoying) is entertaining you can't learn from him. I learned alot about poker from watching him on FSN which was entertaining at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever 1 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 It's gonna be an asian dude this year and ESPN will not be happy. That's my gut feeling anyway.If Ivey or Mike the Mouth make it to the final table it would be very large for the ratings. Link to post Share on other sites
Footballguru 0 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 The worse player to win would be Juanda, if he wins the influx of new players would really come to a halt. I think if ivey, or any black guy wins, it would be great. look at all commericials and advertisements, whatever black guys do seems to be the "cool" thing to do.my .02 Link to post Share on other sites
IM_FLUSHING 0 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I think what Arieh means by " you wont have to be a winning poker player to win" if Ivey wins : That by Ivey winning it willl be like when tiger woods won, it will bring the blacks and browns(hisp) to play a game that they would not have played other wise. I think he is sayig there will be more donkeys then there are now and it will be easy money.I am hispanic So dont even think Im being racist or profiling, I know how you "Daniel Lovers" think Link to post Share on other sites
nutonflop 0 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 this is turning into a really silly thread. Lets speculate a bit more...If ivey wins there will be 6600 in theh mE next year6000 if matasow wins.5700 if doyle wins.case closed Link to post Share on other sites

JacKingOff_suit 0 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Is Tiffany Williamson young and good looking ? If so I hope she wins, poker, action, and good looking babes are a good combination of formula to attract more players. Link to post Share on other sites

LuckyMcCatcher 0 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Ivey really isn't that good for tv. Doesn't bring much in the way of personality. Very quiiet. Great player though.This is the thing I like about Ivey. With all the circus clowns that frequent these final tables it has become more about getting famous through ridiculous table antics. Ivey is all business and makes the other clowns look foolish. I would love to see him dominating a final table full of circus clowns (e.g. Davin Anderson, that Asian chick with the weird sunglasses, Mattias Anderson). I would love to watch them get thoroughly worked by a real player. Link to post Share on other sites
