New WSOP Events You Most Want to See

[Turn Prophet]

Personally, I really think they should add a short-handed Limit Hold'em event, and in keeping with their new lease on mixed games, I would love to see a $5k or $10k mixed NL Hold'em/PL Omaha event.

I'd also like to see the Main Event bumped up to $25k, but that's another matter. Any others that people would like to see added?

[shaundeeb]

UB BJ.

[SuperJez]

6 card omaha PL. Infact I think vegas casinos should start spreading this as a cash game. Very popular here in Scotland and in Ireland. You guys dont know what your missing ahahahhahaha. Online rooms have so far shyed away from including this game as its such a bankroll buster.

[/ QUOTE ]Come of it JEz, they barely spread Omaha, never mind 6 card. Don't tell me they have that in Aberdeen now?

[SuperJez]

hahah hi fatshaft. I was playing 10 card omaha in a cash game here last night. Other awesome WSOP games ummm. A wee bit of irish/pineapple wouldnt go amiss either /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[beaver]

heads up limit death matches!

[BlueBear]

Old school 5-card stud or 5-card draw.

Heads-up 5-card would also be great.

[SuperJez]

actually being serious, 5 card stud is a good idea blubear

[JP OSU]

6 max plo ftw...

[amplify]

ones with rational structures

[SmackeytheFrog]

Just keeping the added-this-year PLO8 will make me happy.

[DonkeyChip]

Badugi and Chinese Poker.

[Bonified]

You mean bring back Chinese Poker (http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/event.php?a=r&n=7901). And the mixed doubles (http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/event.php?a=r&n=8128).

Phil's right, the bracelets are devalued these days.

[hime]

Slap fight.

[DonkeyChip]

How does mixed doubles work? Didn't know about Chinese Poker previously being an event...cool.

[The B]

5K 1/2 7-card stud 1/2 RAZZ

[LennartZ]

A NL Rebuy Crazy Pineaple, that would be so much fun.

[daryn]

6max limit
hu limit
more/bigger razz

[NickMPK]

I would like to see a $10K buy-in event for all the major games, and fewer $1K or $1.5K events. Also, a $20-25K NLHE event, whether or not this is deemed "the Main Event".

i agree, would need to be spread pot limit though.

[BobboFitos]

a non rebuy 2-7 NL as well would be nice

[Jourdain]

5 card stud would be cool, they had it from 1971 until 1974, Bill Boyd won them all.

Maybe Draw High (http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/event.php?a=r&n=8132)?

1/2 Hold'em 1/2 Stud (http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/event.php?a=r&n=4418)

And Ace-5 draw was also a legendary event in the past.

[By-Tor]

7-card no-peaky

[oddsock]

Agreed on 5CD and 5CS

[Rekwob]

more NLH

[BLdSWtTRs]

I still don't understand why they havent come out with a 3 card game were you see five community cards like hold'em and omaha.

Hold'em can be too tight and slow, and Omaha can be too crazy.

How about a doubles event that doesn't ever stop until it's over?

Also mixed HU tournament, preferably big-bet games like NLH, PLO, PLO8, PL5CD.

Seriously, high buyin winner take all tournaments are just asking for all sorts of problems with common staking, swapping and so on.

So much for poker being a "anymans" game

JUST LET THE RICH PLAY

[DCJ311]

BOTE mix, Badugi, Chinese Poker, 2-7 no rebuys multiple buyin levels, more NLHE rebuys (!!!), more shootouts, and some sort of team poker event, a male/female couples type thing would be a no-brainer.

[Syntec87]

$10k 52handed high card shootout

[satelliter]

Agreed more rebuys. $500 rebuy for 3 levels. Any added decision-making gives the better player an edge.

SPEED POKER: 15 seconds to act! slower structure ok.

Limit with a bigger bet each round: e.g. 10 pre-flop, 20, 30, 50. (Slower than pot limit, rewards math skills)

[twonine29]

PL Omaha 6max

$1500, $5000, $10000

$10k Flipament

[MrFizzbin]

Ladies 10K Strip Poker Event....

[Dangeresque]

Longer structure for the ME, which should be set in stone at 10K: More time equals more skill, raising the entry fee just means less dead money.

Bracelet winners' mixed game: A $20K event paid for, automatically out of the 1st place prize for every preceeding event, the games alternating in rough approximation of the proportion in which they were played. IE: 60 Events, 3 PLO events = 5% PLO and so on. Event designed to last three days, paying top 9.

Under 21 freeroll, 1800 seats offered through qualifiers; prize pool donated by bracelet winners. Top 999 places pay. (Personally, I like this one best... Ideas like Doyle kicking in 999 copies of Super System 2 come to mind.

A $10,000 Limit Hold'em event.

A half LHE-half O8 event.

I play a HOP game, which is NLHE, PLO and crazy pineapple that rotates every orbit. That would be a good WSOP event.

Sure, just work part time for a casino. There's a casino employees' event that usually kicks off the WSOP.

Though if there were another $500 event, I'd ask for a No-Limit HARD freeze out. (Hold 'em, Ace-five lowball, Razz, Deuce-seven lowball.)

Best, most realistic ideas in this thread so far:

Some event which includes Badugi--either all Badugi, or some kind of mix with other "low" games--maybe something like Fixed Limit Half Badugi Half Triple Draw.

A mix event with just the three (or maybe four?) major stud variants: Stud Hi, Razz, 8 or better..and for the fourth, maybe hi/lo no qualifier. That would be a very interesting event.

[/ QUOTE ]

A tournament open only to bracelet winners would be cool. They could have a coinciding tournament only for those who haven't won one.

Given the rate in which they are giving away bracelets, by 2060 that event would just be a HU duel between me and Gary Carson.
