I wouldnt dare try and run off less experienced players. The entry fee hasnt changed in 34 years!!! I just believe its time that it do, isnt it?? Just to maintain the same prestige it had back then. Can we atleast agree that $10,000 doesnt go as far as it did in 1972. Thats all im saying. Prestige probably isnt the proper word but i hope you kinda get my drift.

I totally understand what you're saying. In 1972, the buy-in for the ME was much too high. Think about how much $10k was back then!

Therefore, I think the only fair solution is to create some kind of time traveling mechanism, which will enable us to travel back in time to 1972, and convince Benny Binion to lower the buy-in to something more palatable to adjust for inflation. I just believe that it's time we do this. Just to increase the prestige of those early events. Think about how much less prestigious those Main Event wins from the 1970s are -- the fields were so small compared to now! As we all know (or should know), variance can propel a bad player to a win in a smaller field much more easily than it can in a large field. Can we all at least agree the Main Event buy-in in 1972 was much too high?! That's all I'm saying. I hope you kinda get my drift.

I'll be starting the "The 1972 WSOP ME $10G Buy-in Must be Lowered??" thread momentarily.
