MKSilv 0 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 ESPN.com had an article with WSOP tournament director Pollack who announced that he was developing a player's advisory committee. It stated that he had already been in discussions with a couple people to be be on the committee. Daniel mentioned in his blog last week that he had dinner with Pollack, but couldn't reveal what they discussed. Since Daniel was a very vocal in his displeasure of the 2006 WS schedule, it sure appears likely to me that he was asked to part of the committee. Link to post Share on other sites

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Yes, he asked me to be on a committe and also asked for some reccomendations as to other players that might work well. Several come to mind including Paul Phillips, Howard Lederer, and Barry Greenstein. Link to post Share on other sites

budica 0 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Here's my concern with this group as advisors. Aren't the majority of people who play in the WSOP considered amateurs? So wouldn't a comity of Pro's try to sway things even more into their favor in the interest of making more money? Just a thought. Link to post Share on other sites

Lets face it, the WSOP has become the world amateur open. Link to post Share on other sites
Dixie Wrecked 0 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I just think that's great that the WSOP or Pollack are actually listening to some of the feedback and forming a committee. Hopefully they do something with the suggestions and and improve things for the players and viewers Link to post Share on other sites

HangukMiguk 8 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Well, I don't think the committee will try to completely swing the series away from the amateurs. DN, BG, and HL have all stated that the boom is good for poker. Phillips...can't quote him on that.We all know the pros are in it for the money & the titles. And Harrah's is in it for the profits. I'm sure that the lot of them can figure out a way to make the WSOP great again for all players (bring back HORSE, different games again), and not let Harrah's take a loss on it all.
