You also need like 5M+ to even consider entering [/ QUOTE ] I thought those internet studs made that in like a week.

Re: Event #39 - 50K HORSE
[ QUOTE ]
"I would say this is less of a "gambling" event and more of a skill event than any other at the WSOP." Hopefully points are like buses and there's another one in 5 minutes because you missed this one. [/ QUOTE ] Skilled players with a lot of money would want to play this tourney. It may be the greatest test of poker skill. Some internet players, like Antonius, know it is important to learn all the games. Winning or cashing in HORSE could also cement a reputation and help one gain sponsorship that would pay many entry fees in the future, and introduce one to many other money-making possibilities. So, the "I have better things to do" excuse is sort of weak. The "hold 'em is more profitable" excuse? It seems many top pros will tell you that learning other games is important and also keeps them mentally fresh for a long-term career in poker.

Re: Event #39 - 50K HORSE
Looking at the remaining player list, it appears that the [censored] up structure is going to cause a weak final table, at least far weaker than last year. Mr. Knotter, anyone?
LOL horseaments, I guess.

Obviously, Tran/Phan/Filippi (the current top 3) would be disappointing, but if we get Greenstein/Matusow/ Raymer/Negreanu (all in the Top 15), that would be a pretty awesome table. And you never know...Hellmuth might still sneak in there.

As it stands someone's gotta chisel away at those top four, or this is gonna suck big time. Go Barry - you're the last qualified guy in the game.

Re: Event #39 - 50K HORSE

Antonius was a live player, long before he was an internet player. LOL. [/ QUOTE ] According to this article in BLUFF http://www.bluffmagazine.com/magazin...2007_01_68.asp, Antonius had some early experiences playing in home games and casinos, but he played mostly online for 2-3 years before he broke into the big leagues in 2005. He was probably more known as an internet player before he broke through in 2005.
