WSOP buy-in too small?

What makes the WSOP special is that it is a free-for-all with anyone and I do mean anyone can try to win. The fee has no meaning any more. What makes it so special is that in order to even make it to the final table you have to have some skill. Luck will only get you so far. The publicity from WSOP has made poker what it is. Why change/kill it?

I do think that WPT (or some thing like that) needs to think about players not how to make as much money as they can for the casinos. Players need better ranking and to be paid for the TV time like on the PGA. The poker world need to change/mature to become more like a sport, not like many people think of it as just luck.

too small? i say its too big.

If you can't be bothered playing poker for a week to earn $7,000,00 go do something else

does anyone know what site besides pokerstars excepts western union?

I have never seen the crazy hands in real life games like I see at poker stars. They are about revenue. No big hands no big revenue for them. I have played them with $25 dollar buy in 5 times and see to much crazy crap. Save your money for a real game. Just play the play money. The convenience of home play is not worth it. If you do play do the bare minimum.

Best thing about WSOP is that any one can sit down next to a world champ. You cant play golf against tiger woods. I sick of hearing these poker snobs whine about the low quality of players in this event. To be a good player, you have to learn to beat bad players. If you want to be a robot, go play blackjack and stick to the formula. Joseph Hachem won wsop with a 3 7 off suit. If an internet player did this we'd never hear the end of it. Get over it, shut up & let your chips speak for you. I'm a pretty ordinary poker player, but hell yes, I'm saving up ten grand to get to wsop in 2 years time. I hope i can beat some good players with bad hands. That's poker, baby.

i think they should kepp the buy in the same but not let anyone in through satelite games that may reduce a few people and they will get more moneyw hich means bigger prizes!!

Your right on. The old timers can't win with so many new players. They would like things to stay as they are. The fact they are crying raise the fee is one reason not too. They were average players making a living on poker. Now the field is getting bigger and they are smarter scares them.

If you raised the fee the pot sizes would goto sht, and nobody would care. There goes the TV rights and all the others with it!


And too the Crazy French, If everything went up 4x or more nobody will by it. Then your stuck with a product you can't sell to anybody. What a retard.
