Is poker drama and scandal good or bad for the game?

When you’re not in them, I think they’re great. If you’re media, they’re fun to talk about. Fans love following drama. They want stories; people get along and people don’t get along. 

When you’re involved in it, when you know the people, it’s not that fun. I had more fun when I didn’t know the people and was only talking about the drama, talking about the scandals, talking about the hands. 

People like to discuss the stories, so it has some positive and some negative. I think in the grand scheme of things, you have the game, you have the stories, you get the good and bad, and that’s pretty normal.
