Game of Gold Season 2: Would you add amateurs to the mix?

[Toruk Makto]

Definitely yes! The contest would add excitement... amateurs love to surprise. 😜

 

[dangbaonguyen93]

Yes, I like this idea. This will increase the attractiveness of the program. The presence of amateur players will add to the unpredictable appeal of the game

 

[seiya1989]

I would definitely add fans. I would like to see their performance and reaction when playing

 

[CataRouillet]

I think so, adding amateurs would add an extra ingredient to the game.

 

[aobrien8]

Now that the Game of Gold has ended, if a second season happens would you want to see four amateurs included in the mix of poker pros? Why or why not??

I think it would be cool to have a couple amateurs included. A qualifying tournament for a couple spots would be an exciting idea.

 

[x patrice x]

I haven't seen the series, but why not!? Especially if one of the amateurs were me.

However, it doesn't live up to the event title 'Game of Gold', with a quarter amateurs in the field.


A possible variant for a sequel 'Season 2' could be: 'Game of Gold - Battle Field' :

Round1:
16 Pro Player Battle ; 16 Amateur Player Battle:
--> (1.-8.) Pro Battle / main battle qualification > (9.-16.) Amateur Battle /disqualification

Round 2 - Mixed Battle:
8 Pro Player (9.-16.) vs. 8 Amateur Player (1.-8.) :
--> (1.-8.) Mixed Battle / main battle qualification > (9.-16.) Mixed Battle /disqualification

Main Battle - Game of Gold:
8 Round1 qualifier (Pro) vs. 8 Round2 qualifier (Mixed)

GAME OF GOLD is officially on!!!

 

[king11682]

Yes, they could contribute new strategies or unexpected movements; as they are eager to learn and improve while playing.

 

[PsychoVas]

Absolutely. i loved a former show where amateurs got to play against pros (saddly I can't remember the name). Adds a flavor of everyday people in the mix. Even better I would like to star in an episode of that!

 

[bapfel]

Putting one amateur in the tournament could be exciting, not a semi pro, winner through 5 rounds of satellites.. simply a free ticket for anyone, nobody knows what he can ...

 

[Luvart]

Yes, it would be a good idea to add amateurs to the show. I do not underestimate amateur players, we all know the Chris Moneymaker story. I would like to see games where amateur play against professionals. I would add one amateur to each team and if the amateur beats the pro, their team will win some bonus. Also I would like to see female amateurs.

 

[Ruslan L]

I would like to see amateurs in the second season. That would be interesting

 

[Natta777]

Perhaps it would be interesting to invite an amateur to film the new season. But, an amateur will not be able to adapt among professionals and feel comfortable; he will be chosen last, which will reduce the chances of winning. If it is a separate team consisting of amateurs, then they will be more comfortable communicating with each other and acting against teams of professionals.

 

[ficticius]

Obviously yes. Amaters should have a curriculum this way in poker tournaments and win their classification through tests or a tournament.

 

[Youvraj365]

Why not add amateurs, even pros get beaten by them sometimes.

 

[AzdajaD]

I watched season 1 and I like it!

Yes- adding amateurs to the mix, would be more fun + I know that we all know few fantastic amateur players...

 

[Suns of Beaches]

I would definitely put amateurs into the mix. Have not seen one single show for now but wherever poker is played there should be always room for non-pros so a game or in this case a show is profitabla to play.

 

[Cookiemonster19]

Yes i think its a good idea specially some woman amateur like myself who are discovering the game and would truly appreciate the opportunity to win a good amount of money playing poker with pro which would not be possible otherwise.

 

[Sheepodog]

The more the merrier bring them in. Heads up at the final table. One amateur, one pro.

 

[Atararo14]

Yes, I am for this idea, giving amateurs the chance to play with Game of Gold pros will give more atmosphere

 

[infonazar]

Yes, I would like to see amateurs in the second season. If there are amateurs, it will be more interesting.

 

[nba2009]

Of course I would like it, it would be great to see 4 amateurs playing against the best in the world since in poker anything is possible, there could be a surprise victory

 

[ratbat615]

any serious poker players would be fun to watch.

 

[VictorOd]

No to amateurs, please. I watched few minutes of season 1 and got bored. However I'm biased, everything seems boring now. More bright famous players like Phil Hellmuth, please.

 

[Yanko57]

Definitely yes! Who doesn't like a good Cinderella story including an obscure player coming from a town we didn't even heard of?
