Re: Plaza will host the largest poker tournament of the year
More than you think. $10,000 1970 dollars is equal to $49,432 2005 dollars.

Re: Plaza will host the largest poker tournament of the year
Oh, and I also meant to say, this isn't the biggest buy-in so far this year.
There is one called Poker: Quest of Champions It is a 10 table shoot-out, 100 players max. The buy in is 250k. Yes, you read that correctly, $250,000. The ad in CP doesn't tell where the tourney is being held, but the phone number has a 702 area code, which is Vegas. Felicia [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Not!
With all due respect, just listen to yourself. TV time? Pokerstars paying entry? You won the WSOP and you wont play in a 50k buyin tournament because you think it may not be +EV? How about the challenge? How about playing a tournament with some great players to see how good you are? Man.

Re: Not!
Because, gosh, he needs to spend 50K to prove how great a player he is.
He's a poker player - whether a situation is +EV or not is probably always a consideration. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I don't need to play in this or any event to see how good I am. I know how good I am, and even if I didn't, I know enough to understand that one tournament, no matter how tough the field or great the structure, tells you almost nothing about how good you are. And the challenge? From my point of view, doing something for the challenge of it is for children. I don't need to do anything to be happy with myself, or to have confidence in myself. I believe in myself and my talent for poker without overcoming any challenges. I don't find any problem with somebody who wants to do something to prove something to themselves, or for the challenge of it. I just think that if that's the ONLY reason you're doing it, you either lack confidence or maturity or something. I have no need to do anything, except be true to myself and take care of my family.

Felicia, I can't imagine any event bombing as bad as the WPPA did. I'm sure the Plaza wouldn't actually let a tournament with 2 people in begin. Kevin... [/ QUOTE ] what was the deal with the WPPA? they didn't get many entries or what?

Also you will be robbed at gunpoint upon entering said garage. "Winning" is not getting shot.

Re: Not!
I think the bad things that Felicia and others related during the first WPPA event, mainly with Louis Asmo and WPPA really put a damper on things for the 2nd (and so far last) WPPA event
