Hello, 2+2...

We are beginning 2007 WCOOP preparations in earnest. For those who aren't aware, WCOOP is the World Championship of Online Poker, the premier event series in all of online poker which is held each year on PokerStars in late summer/early fall.

This year's WCOOP will begin on September 14th and conclude on September 30th. As always, the final event will be the big NLHE Championship, and once again we're putting something new right at the front. This year, TWO new events are at the front of the schedule.

As you can see, we're well into the planning stages for this year's events. Some things are already set (like the schedule), but many things are not... and while we've still got some options open, we want to hear from you!

What have you liked or disliked about previous WCOOPs? What do you think we could do better, whether you liked previous events or not?

We pride ourselves on the fact that we not only listen to feedback from our players, but that we absolutely depend upon it. Please reply to this thread with your thoughts, suggestions, comments, etc. For those who wish to provide direct feedback without posting to this thread, we welcome your thoughts at wcoop@pokerstars.com.

The floor is yours....
