Why would you want to remove video?

I think that even if he's a scammer, good content should stay at Pokerstrategy. Just don't allow him to post anymore, that's it.

Also, what has Sapheal done?

because having any content by an admitted scammer is a very bad look for ps.com. i would at least want a very good explanation from ps.com for keeping it up. IMO it is a huge slap in the face to the poker community by keeping his content (no matter how much they paid for it).


if it aint the sites cheating players its the long list of filthy high stakes pros,i can think of about 3 pros i would trust to never ever cheat/scam...raymer,negreanu,akenhead, after those i wouldn't trust the rest of them to give me correct change.

Hey <3,

I can't be sure what will happen to the video. I'll talk to my colleagues tomorrow and we'll come to a decision then.

What I can be sure of that whether we paid $1 or $10m for the video, it wouldn't make a difference to the outcome of that discussion; it's not a topic on the agenda.

The only question is whether the content still adds value despite today's announcement. Unfortunately, that's not a question I can answer alone, but we'll have a decision with the reasons for it posted tomorrow.

Best,

Marc

LOL this video is financed by our rake, so why the hell should it be removed??? Punishing us because he scammed is not the right consquence imo.

unfortunately the customers of pokerstrategy.com do not own the company. ps can do what ever they want with company profits.

lets just wait and see what the company decision is before starting a debate.

how can you even be sure his teachings are legit? how can you trust anything this guy says.


The puppet show ....

ben,dan and haseeb said that they all saw the video and that it was the key element in convincing them that jose is a great poker player,so i think the content is legit,altough ben (sauce123) said on one of his hand that the line he took was "meh"

of course,at the level he plays and thinks,even a brilliant line might seem meh to him

Some respectful posters from 2+2 said that they will ask for video removal and public apology from ps

I dont necessarily think a public apology is necessary from ps. they had no idea this was happening. I do however think the video needs to be removed. How good it is or how much educational value it has is irrelevant. If ps.com decides to keep his video it is a serious disservice to every honest poker player who visits the site and will severely damage our reputation as an honest community.
