WSOP ME 10G Buy-in Must be raised??

Anyone who voted to raise the buyin should be required to play the $50k HORSE event next year. It will be nice to see their dead money donated to The Corporation.

A few points:

For all you inflation jockeys out there, I've played 3-6 for 6 years, and if anything I've heard less people complain about how 'cheap' it is.

Yes, please for the love of god have multiple venues, and a 20 hour first day if necessary. Anyone who disagrees is free to shout me down as I've never played at the world series.

As well, keeping the previous sentence in mind, I'd love 5 days of tourist-loaded side action at the WSOP if they can't manage multiple venues. Tournaments are fantastic not just because of the +EV situations they generate, but the effects the higher variance has on players who enter the side games. Someone who's already a poor player and is making a score and feeling 10 foot tall and bullet proof is going to go on 'happy tilt' and feed you a lot of cash.

You've played 3-6 LHE for 6 yrs......

Are you serving some sort of penitence for past sins in your life or are you just nakidly masacistic?

Seriously though like so many have pointed out there is no incentive at this point for Harrah's to change anything it be like tinkering with a magical gooses' diet b/c her eggs are only 14k gold not 24k.....

Remember the 50K was added just this yr lets see how that event grows and is regarded in the next few years.

I am NOT nakedly masochistic, thank you. I just spent a while learning, and also, am not yet rolled well enough to make it to the irreglular 15/30 games that occur in my city... Making my first real run at semi-pro this week... I'll be sure to start a thread about it for all those who want to hear the harrowing stories of my slow climb to the summit of professional poker, from .5/1 online hold 'em [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
