Message: [QUOTE="DS3, post: 6360205, member: 407846"] Oh, don't worry Matt Berkey did call him out for sure...but the argument got into semantics and ironically, it was Landon Tice (not the most experienced or articulate) who kept insisting Hellmuth was wrong on every level. The Berkey podcast was also interesting as he made another good point...one which I have labored over myself. That would be the GG model of putting poker behind a paywall does not make sense (other of course than as a profit making exercise for a specific entity) This will be Hustler's biggest ever stream (across all platforms) and it will likely top the viewing figures of any WSOP event held on GG at the last WSOP. Berkey praised Hustler Casino for providing the content and having the creativity to bring streamers with a vast audience to grow poker. As I have done, he cited puting WSOP content (historic as well as contemporary) was a mistake/ Berkey is working/guesting to some degree with the relaunched 'Live At The Bike' livestream which is now presented in partnership with Bally's - they have now really upped their game in terms of upgrading the set and technical aspects of the feed following Hustler casino's lead. But as Berkey pointed out they are also attempting to put their feed behind a paywall on You Tube's premium services...and I would really be surprised to see that gain traction. My guess would be that either fizzles or they have to switch to free to air. Poker as an industry is too small to limit access. It needs to spend money on content to expand and grow. Hustler and now The Lodge (Polk, Neeme and Owen) are looking like leading the way with a firm understanding the industry needs to promote itself to a broader market and then everyone is in a stronger position in the longer term. And, not for nothing...the EPT is streaming right now and their new set in Monaco and technical production is superb and free to one and all. [/QUOTE]
