Like Moneymaker is a good poker in the modern day poker.
Tell me the last time moneymaker won a big tourney? While he did craft a path in the world of poker there are way too many better players right now who'd outplay him.
Ramon played really well at the pspc
I just believe pspc 2019 tournament is not to be taken seriously into further consideration and apreciation .
I mean giving away for free 1/3 of the tickets of the whole tournament (and some in rediculus contests/challenges , most of whose winners (almost all) were busted early giving away easily their chips/stacks which means sth
) ..... well pspc was not a normal tournament by all means
If those 300 had won their seat , let's say via a satellite and not for free (even if some of them won their entrance not because of a silly contest but because they won a tournament ) , then I would say that this was a serious major tournament , not a setup poker festival by Pokerstars , and the 1st winner 's victory would have been much too appreciated and important imo .
Again Colillas played well and won ( I have congratulated him on this victory) , but I don't believe it means sth more for the poker world .
Now , I agree with you that Moneymaker hasn't won a big tournament since then or that his results are not so interesting/satisfying . But we praise him most of all for another reason .Moneymaker's
wsop victory was another story not to be compared with Colillas case . WSOP meant a lot then (the great majority of the participants were serious pros) and Chris Moneymaker's winning was an example to follow for all poker players (regs or novice) . It was a revolution for poker world and it changed everything . Furthermore he bought his satellite entrance ticket haha
(even if he did it (played this sat) by mistake cause he wanted to play sothing else , if I remember correct a video of him that I watched some months ago
) Different era , another story . Colillas winning hasn't changed anything in the poker world .
So choose Colillas for an embassador just because of this victory , imo a bit overrated .They rushed to make him a team online (then again PS the last months has dismissed so easily so many valued pros that poker fans really loved , keeping many who are not (so) good or (un)important . Let's see for how many months they will keep Ramon in their poker pro ranks , cause PS either doesn't appreciate winning pros or it goes for cheap grinder options . Shouldn't being a pro team member mean sth more ?? )
Time will prove me wrong ?? Who knows
