Should poker players boycott next year\'s WSOP?
I'd say [censored] yes...Harrah's -- who owns the brand -- was one of Bill Frist's largest donors...Guess whose stocks went way up in the wake of recent legislation...If you're too dumb to put 2 and 2 together here, how can you be smart enough to be a proficient poker players?

"If you're too dumb to put 2 and 2 together here ... "
Thanks for the insight, but what makes you think that "putting 2 and 2 together" is the answer to your rhetorical question ? Guess I'm too dumb to understand the profundity of your reasoning .... As "a proficient poker players", why not WIN the 2007 WSOP instead, then take advantage of your celebrity to make your cause known ? |

If this was able to be pulled off, it seemed like it may be a good idea at first. Upon further thinking, if there was a huge reduction in WSOP entries in 2007, then Bill Frist and his merry men would think they have won. Morality has been restored and people are only going to church on Sundays and buying an occasional scratch ticket.
An even larger WSOP turnout and thriving poker industry I think is best. A large turnout and anti-UIGEA events need to organized there. |

Putting 2 and 2 together means:
B&M gambling industry was behind the ban + We should punish the B&M industry = Boycott the WSOP I have disputed all along that his first point is valid. |

[/ QUOTE ] I would expect the numbers to only drop slightly this year, with a much larger drop in 2008 assuming the enforcement is effective. |

Under 2000 20 - 1

They think the field will be halved... |
