Why are Limit HE Tourneys Dead?

[La Brujita]

Limit HE is a great format for tournaments.

It is a nice change of pace to nl tourneys. There is a lot of strategy as the game shifts into an almost pot limit holdem game as stacks dwindle. Skill edge is huge for a good limit tournament player.

The tourneys on Stars are absolutely dead. The 215 on Sunday barely gets any runners, way down from a year or so ago.

Even the 33s and the 22s get no entrants. I find it hard to believe there cannot be a $55 or $109 nightly that gets 100+ entrants.

I know the easy answer is going to be limit is dying; this is part of the reason, but there is something else I cannot put my finger on.

I think part of it has to do with the site's focus, it seemed on Party they would run many more limit tourneys with more runners.

/insert I bet I raise monkeys now if you wish.

For my next post: why aren't there bigger pot limit HE tourneys on stars.

Some people, even pros, won't touch no limit.

in about five years i can see the limit tourneys at wsop being way soft, since most people would no longer practice them even a little bit online

To late, the $3000 limit event last year was a total joke.
