[Koonsy08 0]

I really like it, its well thought out but will it ever make the light of day hopefully the players will have a say in what goes on next year. After all thats happen this year I think Harrah's should hear us out. Its good Daniel has stepped up and presented what is wrong with the WSOP. Good job Daniel!Proposed 2007 WSOP Schedule20 Jul 2006 Without further adieu, here is what I would propose:Day # Buyin Game (Noon) Time Buyin Game 1 $1,500.00 No Limit Hold'em 2 $1,500.00 7 Card Stud 3:00 PM $2,000.00 H.O.R.S.E (super satellite) 3 $2,500.00 No Limit Hold'em 3:00 PM $2,000.00 H.O.R.S.E (super satellite) 4 $2,500.00 H.O.R.S.E 5:00 PM $2,000.00 H.O.R.S.E.

(Day 6) 2:00 PM $5,000.00 Pot Limit Hold'em 13 $2,000.00 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo 14 $2,500.00 No Limit Hold'em (short) 15 $2,500.00 7 Card Stud 16 $2,500.00 Pot Limit Omaha (rebuys) 2:00 PM $1,500.00 Ladies No Limit Hold'em 17 $25,000.00 Gold Bracelet Heads Up Event 2:00 PM $5,000.00 Non Bracelelt Heads Up Event (3 day events) 128=2 matches day one, 3 day 2, 2 day 3 18 $2,000.00 Pot Limit Hold'em 19 $5,000.00 Omaha Hi-Lo 20 $5,000.00 No Limit Hold'em 21 $2,500.00 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo 22 $2,000.00 Limit Hold'em (shootout) 2:00 PM $1,500 Seniors No Limit Hold'em 23 $5,000.00 No Limit Hold'em 24 $2,000.00 Limit Hold'em 25 $2,000.00 No Limit Hold'em (shootout) 26 $5,000.00 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo 27 $3,000.00 Limit Hold'em (short) 4:00 PM $5,000.00 2-7 NL SIngle Draw 28 $3,000.00 Omaha Hi-Lo 29 $3,000.00 Pot Limit Hold'em 4:00 PM $2,000.00 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball 30 $5,000.00 7 Card Stud 31 $1,000.00 No Limit Hold'em (rebuys) 32 $10,000.00 Pot Limit Omaha 33 $5,000.00 No Limit Hold'em (short) 4:00 PM $3,000.00 Razz 34 $5,000.00 H.O.R.S.E 35 $5,000.00 Limit Hold'em 36 $10,000.00 No Limit Hold'em Main Event The schedule consists of the following:10 NLH6 LH4 PLH3 Stud3 Stud 84 Omaha 83 PLO3 HORSE1 Razz2 Draw2 special2 heads upThere may be one event that you are curious about, the heads up events. Here is what I propose:A $25,000 buy in no limit hold'em heads up tournament for bracelet winners ONLY. It would likely be a three day event, playing two matches the first day, two matches the second day, and two matches on the final day (based on a 64 player field). If it were a 128 player field, 3 matches would be played on day two.On that same very day, we'd hold another heads up no limit hold'em tournament with a $5000 buy in. In this event, ONLY those who have NOT won a WSOP bracelet may enter!Obviously because of the buy in the structure for the $25,000 event should have more play, so here is what I propose:$5000 Heads Up: 60 minute levels 5000 in chips50-100100-200150-300200-400300-600Getting to level five would be a marathon match. If you were to play for four hours and still have no winner, obviously the blinds would now be a major factor but the thing has to end sometime!$25,000 Heads Up: 25,000 in chips 60 minute levels100-200150-300200-400300-600400-800500-1000600-1200800-16001000-2000If a match were to be a marathon, reaching level 9, the blinds would surely come into play and end it then since the average stack would have just 12.5 big bets by then. Level 9 would only come into play in the most extreme cases IMO. Also of note, there are NO duplicate events and there shouldn't be. With this schedule, being the "2006 $2000 NLH champion" will be more meaningful since there aren't four others just like you! There is not one good reason to have more than one of the exact same event.Anyway, that's basically what I've been up to after finishing 36th in the pot limit hold'em today. I'll be doing a video blog later and talking about some of my ideas. You can also discuss them in the forums where I frequent on a regular basis.

i like it too, but it'll never fly with harrah's because it won't fly with espn to have only half of the events being holdem. and if we've learned anything this year, its that harrah's is going to pretty much do what it wants for it's best interests.

but they aren't televising all the hold'em events anyway, so less hold'em event shouldnt make that big of a difference to the TV schedule

My thoughts exactly. They don't need to film all the events. Heck give Fox Sports or some other network a shot a filming the other events it they want. I'd love to watch a HORSE event but I know main stream tv poker enthusiasts won't watch it. I don't think ESPN has much of a dog in this fight of event line up. They have more than enough events to film, edit, produce and broadcast.

This stuck out to me the most. It's even worse than when people call Phil Hellmuth a "9 time world champion".

Daniel,With all due respect, I have to say your WSOP schedule sounds like an 'ALL PRO' event. Remember WSOP if for everyone, not just the pros. The attraction being 'Anybody can win'. It must be affordable for regular folks to enter. I agree with your scheduling concept of NOT having events that would attract same crowd at the same time but as far as adding all the high priced Horse events, especially all in a row like that is too much.Why do you feel the ladies and senior events need to be 1500 vs 1000?Anyway, best of luck to you and family. Hope to see you in the final table of main event!!

I think I'm going to have to take your signature's advice on this post. Thanks.

He's not saying there should be six 50 000 buy in Horse events just that the one they do have should be 6 days long.

more people play holdem therefore the more non holdem events you have the less money the house is going to rake in

First of all those are not 6 consecutive 50k Horse Buy-ins, that's just the event split into 6 days. And for the 1500$ vs 1000$ buy ins, Daniel believes that 1000$ is just to low for a buy-in in the most 'prestigious' tournament of all. 1000$ buy-in's would promote to many random n00bs to play in it.

It's the World Series! not the pro/am make it cheap bc your not good enough to bankroll a tourney buy in.How about they have a $200 +$20 tourney with a WSOP rubber band as the prize. You would start with 200 in chips and 25/50 blinds woohooo!

Guys, I see alot of TV possibilities. There is still enough Holdem to keep ESPN happy, but there is a nice bonus with the bracelet heads up. Take a look at the heads up on NBC and you'll see that it is watched. Great idea Daniel. Any feedback from the powers to be?

I think this is a good schedule too. It is more Of World Series Of Poker than A World Series Of Hold'em. I'm especially in favor of the no repeat events. Daniel's spot on about that. However, I do think there's no need for so many HORSE events (Not the big one, the little ones.) I think you could substitute one of those events for a yearly changing "kitchen table" game. Like Joker's Wild or Pineapple. I think it would be neat for the WSOP to give a bracelet or two for these wackier types of games.
