personally, i think there are going to be less playeres than last year. with the online ban, there are far less satellites than there were last year. your guys' thoughts?

My thoughts are that you should have done a search before hitting the new topic button!

should be far less than last year (6000 maybe?)I know some places are just giving cash and HOPING the winners buy in.

Id say be prepared for a more international feel this year! Maybe wont drop too much tho

I predict a minimal drop, if at all. The big sites are still giving out plenty of seats and numerous ways to qualify.It's also been four years since Moneymakers win and 5 since Varkonyi's. For the average aspiring player, this is a reasonable amount of time to acquire 10,000. (remember the average joe cares not about bankroll, life, management). Many casinos that originally didnt, from my research, are putting together satellites to the ME. Poker Leagues are also at an all-time high.Basically, the people that normally would have tried qualifying on the little to no name sites are just going to attempt qualification on the big three. With daily direct feeders into weekly seat giveaways, and even weekly direct entries, the field will be as big as last year.

i also don't think it will be too many less players. each year the number of people who pay 10,000 (with out satalites) has gone up. last year about half the field won their seats online which meant that over 4,000 just paid. that number will go up by a lot this year so i don't think there will be a huge drop

I heard they are preparing for 10,500 entrants

the number couldnt, wouldnt, and shouldnt go down... this year the competition at the main event is gonna be cut throat. hopefully its the year of the pros and a big name takes down the tournament

I'm in! Can I borrow 10 K?

I'd set the over under at 7000. I was going to start a new thread about this but I said I'd see if I could get some interest here first..I was wondering if anyone will give me a bet on a 'named pro' winning the main event this year. The way it works is, I get to pick 100 players, and if any of those named 100 players win, I win the bet. I figue if I get 17-1 I'll take the bet. Any takers?

[grocery_mony 8]

no over/under bets for me this tim round but i think 7k sounds about right considering its a month earlier this year and with party not accepting us customers
