That would spur competition and provide for better updates, and at the least everyone would be checking multiple web sources instead of just one website.<br /><br />If that doesn't work... flying monkeys.Paulynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690677.post-37445916611557830102010-06-11T20:19:12.000-04:002010-06-11T20:19:12.000-04:00Hey Pauly-- what is your opinion about having hav...Hey Pauly-- what is your opinion about having having Card Player, Bluff and Poker News working the wsop and partnering to cover chip counts. The sitres would then be free to cover otehr news as seen fit. You would three times the staff. If money is the issue then one company is not the answer. There are many examples of competitors working together to lower costs. It would be up to the sites to attract the consumer. wtf really?noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690677.post-25061579721609949562010-06-11T20:07:15.000-04:002010-06-11T20:07:15.000-04:00Pauly -- thanks for the information.

If you limit competition then you deserve any attacks.

I work my butt off and if I ever fall behind my boss is not very understanding. I appreciate their effort but only results matter. When you pay for exclusive rights and do not produce, you will be attacked. I would hope the poker media would use extreme vigor in making Tony G. answer to these issues. I have heard over and over how hard the poker media works. Why has this strigent work ethic not produced Harrahs and Tony G to responds. I am missing Pollack pretty bad right now. He would have already addressed this. He was an approachable leader.wtf really?noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690677.post-64587178666868760722010-06-11T08:29:50.000-04:002010-06-11T08:29:50.000-04:00"With that said... it's a war that can..."With that said... it's a war that can't be won, which is why I'm a mercenary sitting on the sidelines.
