@ivanpotocki dives into the dust-up between WSOP and Poker Flops, who found themselves blocked and copyright-claimed after posting short clips from the WSOP live streams. The Poker Flops team was not amused, calling out WSOP for old-fashioned thinking.

That's what we call one hell of a kickoff to week 2!

I guess everyone wants to win the $3500 @BetMGMPoker Championship seat today 😉

@SaraSmartist Plus, it's not like we can go back and fix a few decades of missing info to bring it up to date. Like most metrics in poker (rings, trophies, bracelets), it's mostly fun to know.

[Ivan Potocki @IvanPotocki]

@SaraSmartist Two ways to look at it, I think. People who know poker, how tournaments work, they understand that HM results are not that telling, especially with the rise of mega high-rollers and unl. reentries.

For people looking out for that "poker dream," they may be appealing.

[Ivan Potocki @IvanPotocki]

@SaraSmartist I'm not arguing that having all that information would provide a much better picture of who's actually winning and what the state of affairs really is. But, it's not only pros that are burning money, there are many recs, and they may not be happy to have that info out there.

[Robbie Strazynski @cardplayerlife]

MGF XIV is on break, resuming at @BellagioPoker on Sunday at 12pm, w/ another $3500 @BetMGMPoker Championship seat up for grabs!

Meanwhile, check out @IvanPotocki's Day 5 recap on @PokerLifeMedia, featuring the @PokerCoaching_ MUG, Norm, Lon, and more!

@SaraSmartist And another thing is, while poker tournament results are somewhat official, players' casino spending certainly aren't, and some players certainly wouldn't be comfortable with it. Discretion is somewhat implied in the gambling industry, even in today's day and age.

[Ivan Potocki @IvanPotocki]

@SaraSmartist You've probably noticed that even updating results for some events take a long time because it's not always easy even to get those numbers. And casinos/poker rooms have no obligation of any kind to provide this level of detail, so what's their incentive?
