Matt Glantz suggests Players Committee to WSOP TD Jack Effel, gets blocked on Twitter

[Dan Druff]

Matt Glantz posted this on Twitter today:

Hoping @wsopSUITd & @WSOPTD recognize the need for a @wsop Players' Committee. We all want things to improve.

And the response?



Matt then tweeted:

Seems like an appropriate response to fair criticism. Oh well. Guess I'm done guys. glgl

I have never had any personal issues with Jack or Ty. I still don't. Just want things to get better at @wsop so I look fwd to coming back.

Jack is notorious for blocking anyone who slightly criticizes him or the WSOP. I am blocked, as is Brandon, despite the fact that we have always addressed Jack professionally and respectfully.

The worst part of this is the fact that the @WSOPTD account (the one where so many are blocked) is an official WSOP twitter, and players are informed to use this to inform Jack about urgent matters at the WSOP. Yet he blocks people from that account for the slightest constructive criticism.

Weak.

These guys would NEVER get a job somewhere else if they were fired.

Who would hire these guys? Seriously some of the most unprofessional assholes I've ever seen. I think you mentioned this and I mentioned this in another thread: With Bluff going bye bye unless the WSOP does something quick with Kevmath, they're fucked in the coming years. There were at least 2 times where I had questions about locations or events that I got multiple different answers that were all wrong and a quick tweet to kevmath got me the right response within 2 minutes.

You don't know Jack.

Believe it or not, Kevmath did all of this voluntarily and was not paid.

His job at BLUFF was not related to the great help he provided to WSOP players.

Right, but he is at the WSOP because of his job at BLUFF correct? It wasn't his job to do the WSOP's job, but he was doing other jobs there.

Kevin had been doing that long before he joined BLUFF. He just genuinely enjoys helping people.

That shitcanned floor man britney spears has to be banging her jenner silly watching all this though.

Poker players are great. I DK what's better, Matt Glantz's twitter or PFA Radio during the WSOP - 6+ hours of bitching about the RIO or the WSOP every week.

We get it, the Rio sucks. The WSOP sucks.

Next?

It's a closed network of friends at every casino. It's the largest employer in the area and yet a 'small community'. They inter-marry, they all go to the same parties, golf together.. you get the drift. But yeah, the worst use of social media in recent history that I can think of.

Been liking your stuff a lot lately Anon.

Just a reminder this is a Caesars operation and failure is what they do best. The future of WSOP , of course, will also be impacted by the bankruptcy. All kinds of unexpected consequences.

There is no guarantee it will remain the franchise we grew up knowing. Time marches on and fashions change.

You know what would be interesting, and I think is also likely, is if Amaya Gaming swoops in the next couple years and purchases the WSOP brand. A pokerstars WSOP would be interesting, I know Daniel Negreanu would probably throw up in his mouth because he absolutely hates the way poker stars runs their events. Another interesting side effect would be that Amaya would then also own wsop.com poker unless Caesars somehow negotiated to maintain the rights to the online gaming platform.

It's almost too obvious so I don't know. It will change. That I do know.

The "lobbying" partnership between PokerStars & Caesars is just the beginning of that particular relationship. Of course, they will jointly explore other opportunities as they arise. Except Baasov & company are strong & Caesars is weak. Lobbying partnership my ass. Amaya is doing recon. prior to the auction.

a player's committee? to management that sounds too much like a "players union" that will soon be striking for bigger payouts & lower entry fees...management won't let that get started

also, calling the problems "mistakes" instead of "well intentioned attempts at improvements that went awry" is too blunt for Thin Skin Jackie
