Poker 20 years ago looks like so much fun, actual interactions instead of silent robots

@jasonbourneistreadstone 6 ай бұрын

I don't even watch anything anymore from WPT or the WSOP. Maybe Hustler Casino or Texas Card House to see the high-stakes oddballs punt off. Otherwise, it's just people tanking for 30 seconds before acting. Of course, Mike Sexton was a big part of the WPT along with Vince. It wasn't the same after he passed on.

The event that started the poker boom! The production values may be well behind what we see now, but I had forgotten just how good a job ESPN did at conveying the sheer drama of this classic tournament! The personal stories and commentary made the game accessible to a whole generation of people who knew nothing about it. And I love the “shootout at the OK Corral’ style music they used back then.

Agreed. I can no longer watch streams or videos on poker. I'll watch vlogs like Negreanu and Matusow, but poker today is so boring, and the players are like robots. Just not the same anymore. Very few young players that are worth rooting for anymore as they are all lumped into the same category and personality.

I don't think Chris really made any totally terrible decisions. It's much easier to judge when you get to see the opponents' hole cards. Did he run incredible? Yes. Was his play terrible? Absolutely not. You also have to remember that Farha is probably VPIPing at like 60%. You have to play back at that type of player. If you just wait for hands they'll run you over and when you finally make a hand you won't get paid off.

@@colintimp1372 Absolutely. And this was in the days before there was such a wealth of information available. I mean, there was Brunson's book, Caro's book of tells, and maybe a book on pot odds. Where you'd get those books from is another thing. Your local bookstore wouldn't have them, nor would your library. Ebay was in its early days, so maybe there. Poker magazines only started in full swing after Moneymaker's win. Twoplustwo was around, but people still weren't really using the internet that much, nor were they using forums, and it was a small obscure site - you'd have to get lucky to stumble across it.
