I like it.

I think tournaments should be a continual process, and it kind of takes away the momentum if you have to wait 5 months just to finish. For the players and the viewers as well.

If the coverage stays the same, idc when they have the final table.

Although I was starting to get used to the gimmick.

Good, if I make the final 9 I can save on having to ship all my friends and family over from Europe.

Such a relief.

Re: WSOP 2012: November Nine won't return

IMO this is just WSOP trying to create buzz via Twitter. It's probably moving the final table to another month besides November.

Re: WSOP 2012: November Nine won't return

Good for the 8 that are gonna bust to the champ having the break. They can get some face time in the spotlight before people say "Who the hell are you?" on Nov 10.

Break is bad for the momentum as said above. Seriously are you gonna have the halftime show for the superbowl and then wait a few months to finish the game?

I wants it all in one dirty great epic stint of uninterrupted poker that makes the family think i may have died a week or two ago because no one has seen me for the usual hour a week i spend outside.

Re: WSOP 2012: November Nine won't return

great news. made no sense to continue NN. it had great value when online poker was alive, for players, the sites and the network. and whereas it may have added intrigue for the tv coverage, the new awesome/successful model of live coverage throws this out the window. NN hurts the new model, as viewers who get hooked into following road to FT, potentially lose interest/memory of play during the layoff.

Re: WSOP 2012: November Nine won't return

I actually liked the November Nine and am saddened by this news

Cant say I'd enjoy watching it as much knowing the result already (despite the fact I know the november nine)

Re: WSOP 2012: November Nine won't return

well I'll be the first contrarian by the looks of it.

Despite my initial dislike of the Nov 9 concept I like it now.

I guess they're just changing it now because they show the whole thing live now anyway.


edit...ok 2nd...you beat me to it
