Re: WSOP....a true disgrace.
they are running two MTTs a day, and have a sick fast blind structure. Why? so that they can make more monies.
what ppl need to do is stop playing. Until then Harrahs will continue to run it this way.

Re: WSOP....a true disgrace.
I agree that it is more difficult to run a WSOP than a series of 500 fields. The venetian has room for 1000 tables the floor boss was telling me. And believe me they would not hire the total jackoffs that are running the wsop this year. I hope you guys defending harrahs have been out there and seen the mess. Vent over......

Re: WSOP....a true disgrace.
[ QUOTE ]
Spent the past week in Vegas for the WSOP and came out with a true sense of disappointment. This was my third and worst year there. I wont go on a two page rant or anything but in short I found it to be a total lack of respect for the players and in general being run to do nothing but make as much money as possible. I don't blame them for wanting to make money but they might as well call it the world series of greed. After playing two events and dealing with the tent, bad dealers and floormen, bad structures, and in general just poorly run tournaments i had enough. I went to play the Venetians' 1k deep stack as my last tourney and wow. Please if there is a god let these guys take over the wsop soon. They treat you how a high buy in tournament player should be treated. All details looked at, good dealers and GREAT floormen, excellent service and playing environment. All in all I am very upset I gave the rio and harrahs any rake. I highly recommend any of you going to vegas in the next few weeks STAY AWAY FROM THE RIO and play the venetians events instead. The only thing the rio has going is the high buy ins and the dream of winning one of those ugly bracelets. [/ QUOTE ] I understand your thoughts but as you and I know 99% of the players are really clueless about the complexities of the game and the signs of well run events etc. Donk paradise for the WSOP.

Re: WSOP....a true disgrace.
wsop is handling 10 times what venetian is. i tried to play a event at venetian and it was sold out an hour before it started. you wont get that over at rio. binions has a good series going on too with lesser buy ins! overall i was impressed with the size and amount of people rio has hosted for this years and last years wsop. it would be hard to organize that many people in one room, very hard.
