FWIW, Tom is one of the finest TC's i have played under, and i'm shattered for him that he doesn't have a game like this anywhere else.
Sorry Rob,
But maybe you need to read my post again, I said I understand the reasoning behind it.
But when I get emails and phone calls from my poker friends and people in the industry deciding to have a go then I do take an exception to it.
All of us (and by all I mean my team of managers and senior TC's) pride them selves as been known as the best in the industry and we all pride ourselves on delivering the most professional product with the utomost integrity.
I never once said Tom wasn't a bad TC nor did I disrespect anybody, I simply said this video out in the public domain does damage to our reputation in the industry as well as alienates other TC's and RM's who do feel that the Final table is almost a place of reverence and should be treated with respect by fellow TC's and players.
And it's not the mucking about I have real issue with, what I do take real issue with is a TC looking at a players hole cards whilst a hand is live and the player has action pending.
To someone in QLD who doesn't know Tom or the players involved it looks shabby and it's something best kept amongst the players involved.
