Wsop still gonna rake 10% in an event that will use way less dealers?

Of course! Everyone will bitch as they pay it, but they'll pay it regardless, so why not charge it?

Have they run a 1k with reasonable rake on wsop.com before? If so we could point to that precedent.

i'd love to see a day where every single event starts online, thus reducing the rake overall and manpower required to run it. am i crazy, or is this the direction that a lot of these huge field NLHE events could go towards? way less convention space would be required, too. there WAS a day where the WSOP was basically JUST the amazon room...

I believe their Sunday tournament is $185 + $15 so I expect $950 + $50.

Do you have to be an American citizen to play poker online in Nevada?

Few Questions for a possible WSOP first timer:Are there satellites for the $1K and $1,5K NL Holdem events?

What are the cheapest places to stay close to the Rio?

What kind of sats are there for the ME?

What are softest fields? I am guessing 1K large field NLHE?

No. The software is an 888 skin and they have the flag of the country of the player next to their name when you click on the table in the lobby and you see non-American flags every once in awhile.

This is a very bad analogy. GDP is not a measure of the federal government's income or its ability to repay debt.

The government's income is tax revenue minus expenses. In recent years, it has been approximately negative $1 trillion. So a better analogy would be someone who loses $27k a year and has to borrow to make up the shortfall when they already owe $500k.

You just think they're terrible because you don't agree with me. One day you'll grow up and learn.

I can't believe the Main Event still is missing the 75-150 blind level. Every other tournament has it.

I can't believe someone is complaining about the structure of the Main Event.

How long until WSOP starts selling tournaments to advertisers?

"Jack Links Hyper Hold'Em Tournament"

"The Milwaukee's Best $10,000 Main Event" etc.

And if it means the sponsors adding to the prize pool, why the F not?
