Re: Is the SH 2500 NL invite only? Do you see how many pros are on to
Cardplayer doesn't always list unknown players in their unofficial chip counts do they, they are mainly tracking the pros.
This tournament is more $ for one but more importantly is going to be dominated by experienced players, the edge greatly swings away from the amature so unknowns without 6max experience are going to avoid this tourney. This should be a tournament that cash game specialists could dominate. Maybe a lot of unkown 6 max cash game players are up their in chips but unknown to cardplayer to officially list.

There is another one coming up in July. Probably more popular with your aveage Joe due to its proximity to the ME and other events that run later on in the series. Also, 2.5k might be too much since many know they are -EV 6-handed against that field anyway...

Re: Is the SH 2500 NL invite only? Do you see how many pros are on to
Cardplayer generally lists only known pros and the chip leaders during their first day of coverage. So the pros listed in spots 5-10, for instance, may actually only be in the top fifty. Although it does seem like the top pros have been doing very well in the first day-and-a-half of the first few WSOP events this year, before fading for some reason during the evening of day 2.

maybe 5 years from now, theyll have some advanced tracking system that will give you live standings for every single player in the field.

Wouldn't be too hard. Computer chips inside of the poker chips, with little pads under each players stack to read them. Similar chips exist to track the progress of runners in large field cross country races.
Also, computer chips inside of the poker chips would also go a long way to prevent counterfitting. Velocity

Extending this technology to track chip counts is definately possible right now. Whether harrah's wants to incur the expense of hundreds of thousands of rfid chips and tables to read them is a completely different question.

Re: Is the SH 2500 NL invite only? Do you see how many pros are on to
Low tech solution:
Each table has a "lineup" card. When a player sits down, his/her id number entered. Keep card in holder on back of dealer chair. Runner comes by, scans the table for "big stacks", relays/notes stack size and player ID. Should get the top 30% or so fairly easily. Do you really expect them to post chip standings for 2000 early in the day of an event?

there simply are not that many people looking for updates. sure, two plus two-ers and other random poker fanatics want to know, but that's not nearly a big enough group to justify the cost.
