blueodum 0 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I hope this goes through - then we can start referring to the Main Event as the "WSOP Cattle Call". Link to post Share on other sites
jooka 0 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I wonder how many people will actually enter the event. It will certainly be nice to see on TV, but I personally think it would be complete trash if the final table is just NL tho. Link to post Share on other sites
Frigley 0 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I'd be surprised if it weren't on TV. Funny how they have never had a buy in over 10k, and they just go all the way to 50k.IMHO that tells me the ME will be going up in the years to come.Actually they had a 10k pot limit omaha event last year which ended up turning into a smaller prizepool then the 5k event that ivey won.

It will certainly be nice to see on TV, but I personally think it would be complete trash if the final table is just NL tho.I can see it now: ESPN taking 8 min. out of the show to explain the rules of each game to the audience.You cant explain a mixed game tournament to the audience, it's too complex. It isnt to us, but it would be to them. Link to post Share on other sites

CardWarfare 4 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 This might actually make me finally get off my ass and get TiVo...but if it's all NLH at the final table that is gayer than brokeback mountain.. Link to post Share on other sites
PA32R 0 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Razz on TV...i can't waitESPN had razz in their coverage of the 2004 WSOP. I remember Lederer talking about how much he hated it, how it frustrated him and what a bad mood it put him in. It was pretty entertaining to me - I like razz a lot. Link to post Share on other sites
jooka 0 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Good Evening everyone, this is Norman Chad and Im Lon McEachern. Tonight game was a HORSE tourney but youre to stupid to understand so we've made it NL hold'em, the caddilac of poker! 1121 players started off by playing a mixture of games, once again your to stupid to understand, and are now just playing No Limit. It should be an exciting night Norm. Well, lon, no it wont. Because I understand the more complex games these TV viewers are just to stupid to grasp.talk about lame. Im sure they will at least word it better. Link to post Share on other sites
CardWarfare 4 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Does anyone know have a general idea of how they set up the structure of the HORSE or SHOE tourneys?After rummaging through my contacts, I finally found a handful of players who play other things beside NLH live, and I'm trying to set up a SHOE or HORSE home game, to go with my normal NL game.Since the players I found aren't very experienced in other games, I think a tournament style game would be best, since they probably won't be reloading too often if I made it a cash game.

leftygolfer 7 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 According to Pollack, Harrah’s goal in creating the panel is to have a clear communications process between players in which a wide-range of issues can be aired.The panel will soon add one nonprofessional player.Negreanu is optimistic that the move will be good for the WSOP and the players who play in its events.I nominate the 2005 Neg Open TOC:DNA4ever :!: Link to post Share on other sites

leebs12 0 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 this is really exciting, and i agree with the posters who think this will be a better testement to the best poker player, which is why it should be the Main Event, and change the current main event to the "Hold'em Championship" or something like that.

ajs510 122 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Once the number of players in the ME is as high as the buy in, then you'll see a change to at least 25k.I think it should be 50k to enter into the main event. I mean, we are trying to crown the BEST PLAYER in the world, not just average Joe from Australia who gets the luckiest. We need to cut the amount of players from 5600 to like 700.I think it's safe to say that a 50k H.O.R.S.E tournament would effectively crown the best overall poker player in the world, with few arguments. Unless the online rooms ran crazy numbers of satellites into the event, it's very unlikely you would get more than 200 of the absolute cream-of-the-crop pros to pony up 50k. Anyone who made the final table would do so with the knowledge that they waded through the toughest field in history to get there. Link to post Share on other sites
