Jennings7 0 Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 I would love to watch this event too, but word is they are only going to televise the final table, which is only nl holdem. What a rippoff. Have an entire event devoted to H.O.R.S.E. and then only show the final table which doesn't have the H.O.R.S.E. format.I'm sure they chose to televise as just Hold em' because the casual fan doesn't enjoy the other games enough to watch them on T.V. I wish they stuck with the H.O.R.S.E. format, but I don't think it would have gotten the ratings they wanted, and we all know thats what its about for ESPN. Link to post Share on other sites
NarSARSsist 0 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 You can be in the casino under 21....you simply can't play. I am stumped as to what the turnout may be for this event. For some reason my little brain thinks it could be 400 people, or it could be 4000 people. Either way, the winner is a poker bad-***. 4,000 people? That would be scary, especially when the prize pool would then be $200 million. Even last year's ME [heck, this year's ME for that matter] doesn't even reach half that amount. That would be pretty sick, lol. If they do something like 20% of the prize pool, that would be $40 million for first place. Of course, too bad that neither would probably happen, lol Link to post Share on other sites
grocery_mony 8 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 400 people with 50000 in starting chips they would have to jack the levels up every 10 minutes to get this in in 3 days. less than 100 pnby about 50. alot of pros cant afford to play this within there bankroll. my picks would be DN, Scott Fishman, Huck Seed or Phil Ivey. If in Fact they all play this. Link to post Share on other sites
gkunit20 1 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 There will be exactly 248 or 179 players in this event.That would still generate a big prize pool.I think we can assume the winner will win at least a million. If an online player wins, I'd like it to be Allthewomen. If not, I actually think Jen could take it down. That would be huge. Link to post Share on other sites
myenemy 0 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 there will be more than 500 players, and phil ivey will win.mark my wordsI'll give you 10 to 1 that this doesnt come true. But if you want to go on the entrants alone, more than 500, I'll give you 3 to 1. Wanna go? :icon_cool:Whoever said that many pros will not play this is absolutely right. This is after all a tournament and aside from the richest of the big time pros, not very many are willing to put up 50K on a tourney. I spoke to a pretty popular one on UB and they said it was a 'huge ego fest' and not necessarily a great tournament. I, 50%, agree with that. Im still pretty excited about it though and really hope that they televise some of the actual HORSE play. Link to post Share on other sites
Vatche 0 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 100 players MAX...noooo way will there be more. Link to post Share on other sites
gkunit20 1 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 100 players MAX...noooo way will there be more.100 x 50k= 5 million-rake= ~4.5 million. Definately going to be over a million to first. Link to post Share on other sites
jowest 0 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Poker players, playing horse? I bet 3 gabillion dollars on Phil Ivey because he's black and can dunk.I can't believe it has been this long and no one complimented Stylin on this. Link to post Share on other sites

For some reason my little brain thinks it could be 400 people, or it could be 4000 people. Either way, the winner is a poker bad-***.You can WALK through the casino's here if your under 21, but you can not stop and watch or rail any games. The WSOP is in a huge convention center area attached to the Rio. Last year I did not see anyone checking ID's at the door, so it is POSSIBLE to rail some of the games, but if you get asked for ID your out of luck. If you want to play poker while you are here I suggest using an of age friends ID that you could pass for while in the poker room. HTH. King B In LV Link to post Share on other sites

If in Fact they all play this.Yup...DN, Fischman, Seed, Ivey, Seidel, Chan, Brunson, Forrest and Greenstein are the big favorites IMO. Gurantee atleast 2-3 of those people listed will make the final table. Link to post Share on other sites
deviper 0 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 My money is on a regular in the big game. My picks are Todd brunson, Ivey and DN. Link to post Share on other sites
Petoria 0 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I love hold em and omaha, I just cant stand stud. Razz, I think thats a crap shoot. I'm glad they are doing this. The 50k buy in is crazy. Wont be as interesting imo if one person doesnt make mulitple final tables(guessing chances of this happening are smaller since the field will be smaller). We shall see. Bolded part 1.You obviously don't know anything about Razz, read up or watch a few games of Razz (other than the crappy ESPN telecast) and tell me that it's a crapshoot., and you're questioning 2 final tables????? Bolded part 2.What does that even mean? You don't think one person will make 2 final tables at this WSOP. Mark Seif won in back to back tournaments this past year.Let's just hope I'm misinterpretting that sentence. Link to post Share on other sites

Mark Seif won in back to back tournaments this past year.Let's just hope I'm misinterpretting that sentence.Now that I look back at that, I realize the second bolded part made no sense. I cant even explain what I was thinking(your not misinterpretting it at all, I was the one who f'ed up there). Dont want to even explain what I was originally thinking when I talked about multiple final tables cause then you would really think I'm an idiot. Now...I will stand by my opinion that Razz is a crapshoot, to some extent. You still need to catch cards. Its just my opinion(which doesnt mean much). Link to post Share on other sites
