Re: WSOP ME 10G Buy-in Must be raised??
[ QUOTE ]
If 10k now is a lot cheaper compared to 10k in 1972 but the payout is a bazillion times more wouldnt that be a +EV situation? Where else would you get a 10k tourney with this many participants? The hype over the ME is unsurpassed and I dont think any tourney will ever attain to this level. If you want to raise the buy in to have less people then add on a 25k NL event or whatever but leave the hyped ME cash cow alone.

Agree ... that is what the $50K HORSE event does. Let's face it, the ME isn't about who the best poker play is any more, and hasn't been for a long time. Raising it to $15 or $20K isn't going to reduce the lottery aspect of it. Its attraction has everything to do with the lottery aspect of a huge winner, and that's good for poker. Those who want higher buy-in, save your money, practice your Limit and Pot Limit Omaha and Stud, and enter next year's HORSE event. Then your talent can shine.
