This is PR idiocy, but I am not worried about the impact on the game. You can lead a horse to water, blah blah blah.

Exactly. Didn't Stars launch some type of poker school online in Germany or something and everyone cried out that it was the end of Stars. The fish aren't going to learn from these videos. The few that do watch them will probably try to pull some of the fancy plays WAY beyond their level and just end up reloading off their Visa even quicker.

This is way worse because now when the fish get stacked by Brian Townsend, Full Tilt will send them an e-mail saying that $200 has been returned to their account because they were in a video at cardunners.com by him.

Yep.

Hence, it's fucking dumb and there isn't one GOOD quality about the whole thing. Get it guys?

Well, it's good for CR. I honestly can't believe they were able to talk FT into this. Do they really think the "value added" to their site by having the occasional CR video as a "Tip of the Week" or whatever they plan to do is going to make up for all the negative response they are going to get from their regulars?

Brilliant play by CR. Complete stupidity by FT.
