why i think the 2006 wsop ME will not attract a bigger pool
1. the pokerstars factor:
no champ will probably = less seats awarded by them next year 2. the australian factor: god bless him, but the no-name from the sparsely populated continent will not help draw any extra players except aussies. that amounts to about 10 more players 3. the flat payout factor: i know that 99% of people disagree with me on this issue, but i hated the $7.5 million for first. all i can say is that i personally will not play the ME next year because of this. i think that other's who feel the same way will be a higher number than most think. there will be less returning players imo. 4. the final table factor: imo, this will not make for break-out ratings because it was a relative no-name line up. sorry, had to get this off my chest. that is all.

Re: why i think the 2006 wsop ME will not attract a bigger pool
1. they'll still organise at least as many satelites as they did this year, and theres still a massive core base of players on stars to fill at least as many as this year.
2. there was a more international feel to this years final table, and i think that'll help. and seeing someone like dannenman on there will interest far more americans than raymer imo. 3. i dont think everyone who enters the WSOP sees themselves getting first, and the fact they can come 70th and get $100k is going to appeal to more people than the fact that they can get $20m for being first out of 6000. but thats your opinion on that one. 4. look at last years line up. no more big name players than this year. i think the WSOP will increase, maybe only slightly, it'll probably sell out if they cap at 6600 again.

Re: why i think the 2006 wsop ME will not attract a bigger pool
i should state that i absolutely hope you are correct.
just because i don't want to play because of the flat payout does not mean that i don't want to see it be wildly successful. i hope they get 10,000 players.

[/ QUOTE ] It was a no-name like up in both 2003 and 2004 with the exception of Harrington (who a few new in 2003 for his championship and everyone new in 2004). Besides, having several name players at the final table isn't important.

[/ QUOTE ] yes, I am also posting my opinion. In that its stupid to not play in the WSOP main event because their payouts are flatter. In fact it favors the worse players, so the flatter payout should actually encourage you to play next year. I didn't play this year, but considering you spent a bunch of money to go to vegas and play in the WSOP, I did considerably better than you.

First, it's not like PokerStars gave away seats--the prize pool paid for the seats. Plus, Party had two players at the final table, and that may help their marketing. And finally, more players than ever before now "know someone that played in the WSOP", and are very motivated to get in next year. -Z
