A long time ago, I remember Phil Galfond talking about his new site, Bluefire poker. He did a ton of promotion and even appeared on mainstream TV promoting his site. Everyone wanted to join Phils site and everyone did when he opened the membership doors.

But at some point things fell apart and all the sudden I learned that Bluefire poker is not his site at all. He is just the face for it.

I felt deceived but I realized that tthis is reality of business. Some people are promoters and some people are operators and owners. Usually they are different. Usually they don't go out of their way to explain to potential customers who is who and how they operate. Is a slot channel business supposed to be any different? Are we really supposed to pretend here that people don't do things on youtube for money as a business?
