Money all day long. Bracelet don't mean [censored]. I'd rather be the richest poker player than the most bracelet winner anytime of the day.

Winning bracelets opens the doors for lucrative endorsement deals. I figure that if you win like 25 bracelets, you could pick up a like a 200k/yr deal. So, it sort of goes hand in hand if you think about it.

25 bracelets and a 200k/yr deal?

Only bracelet I'd really care about is the ME bracelet. It's all about the money otherwise.

the title...
knowing that i'm good enough to repeat my success to be a winning player and make money in the long run.

do you realize that

a) you dont suddenly transform into a bad player if you take the money

b) its ridicilously hard to "repeat your success" in a big mtt tournament

nowadays the WSOP ME is basically like the academy awards... when it rolls around it's fun to pretend like it actually means something, we all watch the coverage hoping someone really good will win to validate our enthusiasm, and then some terrible entrant wins and we remember that it doesn't really mean anything, and we just wind up with one new b grade poker celebrity to make fun of.

i'll take the cash, thanks.

I really wish Prahlad had won in 2006, he stated that if he had won he would do no interviews and just dissapear from the mainstream spotlight.

But back to the question the money by a very very long way.

I was talking to a complete stranger and I noticed he was wearing a gold bracelet. I asked him about it and it was a WSOP bracelet he won in 1985.

I gotta say I was very impressed, I was asking him all kinds of questions about how he won it.

Turns out Doyle Brunson was at his final table.

Having a bracelet really is a big deal, you will have it for the rest of your life and people will respect you for it.

Hell I was so impressed with the fact he had a WSOP bracelet that I gave him a few extra bucks for shining my shoes.
