Leonidas' complaint is that far removed from every other sport. He likes to watch poker when there are players he knows and is familiar with. No different than ratings soaring when Tiger Woods is playing in a PGA tournament.
Obviously the biggest difference is that whereas very few people can roll out of bed and win the US Open, the pool of people who can play in a poker tournament is much larger, and because of the nature of the game if you get lucky you can ride the wave for a while and suddenly you're watching a final table on the WPT with an internet donkey, overrated donkey, tournament donkey and Andy Bloch.
