If it's another day, then there's another feud happening somewhere in the poker world. And where there's a feud, you can usually find Doug Polk making a video about it.
Polk isn't just a sideline reporter on this one, though. He actually fueled it last week.
The Claim
In the above video, Polk complains about the trend of players canceling their appearance in high-stakes games at the last minute, leaving promoters and hosts with a promised live stream and no game.
Polk makes some very valid points:
- Players often fly in for the high-stakes games at their own expense
- Viewers of the free and paid streams are repeatedly disappointed and could lead to loss of future viewership
- There is a lot invested in getting these games going, and when one player backs out, the original game usually crumbles, inconveniencing everyone
Then he makes it personal by basically calling Matt Berkey out as a game selector.
