Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 5733392, member: 397965"] If the final table of a highroller tournament is streamed, you can be pretty sure, most if not all the participants are good players, and that they are doing their best to win. So watching these can be a great way to study. However if we talk about cash games, where people need to get invited to play, then it often becomes a mixture of poker and entertainment. Players come to promote their brand, and in return they are expected to put on a bit of a show. If they fail to do so, they might not be invited again. In top of that there is a lot of old stuff around on for instance Youtube, most of it from before 2011, when online poker essentially shut down in the USA. And if you watch some of that, you also need to keep in mind, that poker has evolved a lot during the 10+ years, since it was recorded. So its best seen as pure entertainment and not as a way to learn how to play winning poker in 2020. [/QUOTE]
