Curtom – at Do or Die Poker – Nails It!
“Where the hell are the November Nine? Where is Phil Ivey? Where is Jeff Shulman? Where are any of the November Nine? How come we are not seeing these poker players making appearances on every late night TV talk show known to mankind?
Yes, I am at it again and this time I am royally P.O’d!!!!!!! What is the point of delaying the WSOP Final Table when the very players that are allegedly supposed to be promoting the game and garnering interest are nowhere to be found?
I am so done with this kind of nonsense. As I stated last year, I honestly believe that delaying the Final Table could be a boon for poker but the game will not benefit one bit if they are unable to get the players to co-operate.
What better person to promote the game of poker than Phil Ivey who is acknowledged to be the best all-around poker player in the world? Sure, I get the fact that he tends to shy away from the media and can be down right reclusive but this is ridiculous.
If Harrah’s is not going to do this right then abandon this delayed Final Table crap and let them play it out like they used to. This is beyond stupid for me. It has become quite clear that the players that claim they love the game so much have no intentions of being any kind of ambassadors for the game. That in-and-of-itself is a damn shame.” - end
I commented on DoDP that IF they delay the final (which I am against because they will not be the same players in November that they were in July) they have to establish some ‘forced’ appearances or some established media tour.
And if Jeff Shulman wants to trash his WSOP Bracelet, tell him I will be glad to take his seat and his chips for a paltry 10% of the purse won. But I get the bracelet when I win it.

While, I think, last year we both saw the potential this could have in further growing the sport, it's clear that what should be happening to promote the November Nine isn't happening like common sense would dictate.
Off topic, Faldo - have you hit any of these Michigan charity casinos? And what do you think about them? FWIW, bigger donkfests than a PokerStars Hubble freeroll - but dodge the landmines, and it can be very profitable.
