Wrong.
Players got better, yet they still use software to help. More software too. Hmmm. Weird
Spin n gos get fish to donk off their bankroll in 5 seconds, yet vegas slot numbers are at record levels. Weird again
It’s impossible to win consistently for regs in todays environment, yet the win rates on wsop.com tournaments for the top 100 players, look like cash game graphs…weird
What’s happening to poker isn’t death, its a negotiated reduction in fairness between greedy backers and desperate/bad at their job tournament directors, who error on the side of laziness and self preservation while constantly attempting almost nothing new.
“To change is to improve. To change often is to perfect. To not change at all, is how poker tournament directors operate post 2016”
Re entry and late reg only benefit backers, backed, and bastards. Beyond changing gameplay completely, they reduce the edge on the novice player so substantially, that every tournament series in the world adopted it, probably to curb the bitching/complaining of participants with unrealistic expectations of themselves and their win rates
Someone mentioned this so I’ll answer, but re entry and late reg are connected because long term, very few would register a single entry freezeout with 8 big blinds right before late reg closes. These two together create a perfect disaster for the game we once loved
Whats happening is simply a select small group of individuals destroying everything in the game for selfish greed. Almost like everything else going on in the world. Crazy if you really think about
