I don't care. The games can be streamed without the cards data also being public. No self respecting player should agree to that. There is no real security that way. Everybody knows that. What we can get is good, but never perfect. Poker has been plagued by bots already. Prior to that, a family member, who can play at top ranks, made insane money online. Bill Frist made that difficult where I live, so we transitioned to table play. Medical issues made that tough... I put that there because we have played this game. (I am solid, by their teaching and do play on occasion today) There is the player choice to tell. Sometimes it makes sense not to, and nobody else needs to know. Publishing card data devalues the game. Makes it less. A game streamed old school tells anyone watching all they really need to know. From there, start to play. That tells them more. I do not like the card data being published. Yes, players consent. They shouldn't, but their call. Same as I get to talk it down. I wonder what Brunson would think about this. I bet not much. We all have our reasons.

In theory there is a thirty minute delay between live play and streamed play...except in cases of manipulation and an insider shares the information in real-time. Edit: Ah, missed the comment about not liking sharing of cards in any case. I will need to think about it more but it’s an interesting position if you want purity in the game.

  It is about our agency as players. Being forced to show all bluffs and or body language as cards received, depending, means being more transparent than likely intended. There are things a player would rather others have to work for, or at best, infer at a coarse level, that RFID card play make known. And that data is out there for future players to benefit from too. This may impact you as a player.
