Re: Fixing the Main Event
On the other hand...
The winner of the WSOP ME... Just set back the Sklansky Atheist Crusade by 10 years... So maybe it doesn't need "fixing". Also... The Hmong mountain people of Laos... Are the best poker players in the world... So the brilliantly thought out WSOP ME structure worked perfectly.

Re: Fixing the Main Event
[ QUOTE ]
And just to highlight how statistically ridiculous the WSOP ME is... In reducing Poker Pros to "coin flipping monkeys": [/ QUOTE ] - More players = more hands played to go deep - More hands played to go deep = less likely players who went deep were able to luckbox their way there The entire "lolz zomg the WSOP is just a big luckbox lottery now" is entirely contradicted by the fact that, while so many entrants necessarily means the Main Event *will be* high variance, it takes much more skill to go deep in the current generation of Main Events with 5000+ players than it did even a decade ago when the Main Event only had a few hundred runners, because the players who go deep in fields with 5000+ players made so many more decisions than their predecessors did in smaller fields.
