Dasti Schmidt Calls for Poker Reform to Attract Sponsors and New Players

Dasti Schmidt, a prominent figure in the poker community, has written a lengthy article titled “It's Time to Clean Up Poker,” where he proposes measures to improve the image of online poker. Schmidt believes that online poker needs centralized management to combat unfair decisions and suspicious activities. He suggests banning the use of statistical programs and data mining sites to level the playing field for new players.

Schmidt criticizes the image of poker players, suggesting a dress code and better behavior to attract sponsors. He points out that the current image of poker players, with their hoodies, dark glasses, and headphones, is detrimental to attracting sponsors and new players. Schmidt believes that a more polished image, along with better behavior, could help poker attract more sponsors and new players.

Schmidt's proposals have sparked debate within the poker community, with some players agreeing with his points while others disagree. However, Schmidt's article has certainly started a conversation about the future of online poker and how it can be improved.
