Re: Official Predict How Many People Enter WSOP ME Thread
[ QUOTE ]
Here's a comparison of the # of entrants from 2005 to 2006 for some other events: Event/2006/2005 $1500 NLHE 2776 vs 2305 $5000 NLHE 622 vs 466 $2500 6-Max NLHE 824 vs 548 I think there will be over 7K in the ME, mainly because of the huge number of online qualifiers this year. [/ QUOTE ] A year ago people were saying poker had hit its peak and that a downturn would certainly come this year. These three tournaments have increases from 20% to 50%. I think we'll get the same claims that poker has peaked after this year's WSOP. But, I think they'll be proven wrong again in 2007.

Re: Official Predict How Many People Enter WSOP ME Thread
I'm going with the already-stated point relating everyine saying 2005 would EASILY hit the cap of 6600, yet missed by ~17%. Supposed cap this year is 8000, so I'm thinking 20% less is about right, maybe 6500, as I feel poker has already reached a certain saturation point, and a few people will be dissuaded by the prospect of playing for 4 days or so and not cashing, and a remote few even annoyed at the childish rules like f-bomb penalties.
Either way, as long as it doesn;t go over 8000, a Mod here is 1k poorer. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
