Meh. I dunno I mean shure hes an obnoxious SOB, Ill give ya. But, he is definitely considered to be a top player by the other top players...And honestly, I think if at this point he wins it, shure the big jerk wins and were all booing, but on the other hand, who the fuck is Daniel Bergsdorf anyway? I mean, if a noname pudwhacker wins it, thats all well and good but at the same time, i think it sort of reinforces a feeling we are seeing more of nowadays, namely that the field is just too damn crowded, and with enough players / dead money, the positive expectation of a great player winning becomes so attenuated that the whole thing just endsup being more like a PartyPoker SnG than The WSOP, which is THE contest, the winner of which is supposed to be the greatest player out there (or one of, at least). I think THAT feeling is probably worse for the game than an ahole winning.
So basically, if the mouth wins, i think that in a way, it will be better for 'the game' than it will be if Joe Dickwad wins it by catching 3 two outers in a row, or at least it'll balance out to not being that bad.
Of course, Id rather have ivey, raymer, even Negraneau, hell even Phil up there- Maybe even Annie Duke who i find thoroughly obnoxious, maybe even moreso than Mike the Mouth. But hey, I think I'll have more faith in 'the game' if Mike the Mouth wins it than if Johnny 'Cracklicker' McNutsack wins it
And anyway, when the bad guy won the title in the WWF, did that ever stop anyone from watchin? Nah. Same with poker- there aint alot anyone can do to 'hurt' poker in my opinion. The snowballs been pushed off the top of the mountain, and its gonna keep on rolllin till all the godawful mizors go broke.
