    so i got the email through asking permission to do this and naturally i said it would be suicidal to give away a lot of info for no reason... but i wondered what everyone elses thoughts are on this (especially ranked players) since so many people seem to allow it.

    If you would do why, and if you wouldnt what would it take to get you to change your mind?

    everybody bluffs.
    Everybody pushes with crap at the final table
    what are you afraid of? final table is push/fold.

    i wouldnt think one table would make much difference, I mean all the training sites show hundreds of hands from the top players, Even if you did educate some people I would think it would be a small amount of edge you would lose,, That is if you ever faced them in the first place

    Peopl play FT with hi blinds DIFFERENT then they play the rest of the 5000 person field
    I personally wouldnt worry about it, besides, what are the odds that you get the chance again?
    PS: congrats
    PPS: my notes on you said you are VERY capabable of making bluffs incl HUGE ONES, so dont sweat it

    not suicidal at all. u really arent giving up that much info and to tell u the truth i doubt many big time players bother to watch it so the ppl watching it are mostly just casual players who prolly wont notice ur "complicated" plays

    your favorite players would probably show, so maybe just do what they would do.

    Tell you the truth im not some huge player or something but ive thought about this a bit and

    1. I wondered if they pay them something (like few hundred or something)

    2. I enjoy watching those replays and it would be nice to see everyones cards but.......

    3. Why even give away a little information for nothing.

    4. Im sorry to say it would be cool to see everyones hole cards but poker is not about being nice to the other guy.(dont get me wrong.....never be a dick at the table(even though i wish i could say i never have but would be a lie) )

    and by the way v nice job

    Jackel,

    First of all congrats on your continued toerrific play. Secondly, when I final tabled the million back in March I agreed to let them show my cards but for some reason they did not do it. I agree with some of the other responses...I do not think one table, especially the final table in this tourney would give anyone any serious info they could use against you. I actually think it is cool that stars does this because I know the other players enjoy watching.

    ty,

    Congrats on making the final table and to even have to think about this....... What would you do if you made it to a WPT or WSOP TV final table??? Gotta show em!

    Well you have no choice if you make it to a final table at the WSOP. Its just like NXST2 site he shows his whole cards and PXF factor and Gank and green plastic. There is so many bad players out there they are not going to rember and so many people switch up there game it really does not matter.
