Mixed game events should always be two day. Play to ft and those people come back the next day. So easy.

Glad to see Stud/8 tournaments back in the lineup. I was disappointed when the LA Poker Open dropped it except in mixed-game tourneys.

I always look forward to this series every year

On a side note why is there a circuit stop at bicycle casino but not at commerce?

There wouldn't be multiple stops in the same city unless they were both at CET properties. Likely the WSOP reached out to both, but made a deal with Bike before Commerce.

30-SECOND SHOT CLOCK NO LIMIT HOLD'EM $1,000 $40 $60

TY Matt, I've always asked for one of these. If it's successful, next year add a 6-max shot clock.

That would be a great idea to lower the triple draw to $340. With an abundance of Stud and Stud 8 right before this event, I think more players would be able to afford to play this event. I believe it is rarely available (like Stud 8) on its own. Plus, the word RAZZ (Triple Stud) scares a lot of players but a $340 price might not. I think overall payouts would be bigger with lower buy-in.

Why not just put your name instead of doublejoker. Obviously, everyone would know who this is based on the same topic. One trick pony.

The open face chinese tourney will fill immediately. Wonder why they are capping at 50. That sucks.

Matt and everyone on 2p2 knows my name. The last two years I only played the main event. Will do the same this year if the limit games are as they were in prior years. It's easy to run a good limit event without having 10 bb avg on first break. I promised Matt I wouldn't complain, so hopefully they are better this year and ill play the whole series.

So you'd rather pass up thousands in EV just to avoid variance in what are perhaps some of the best structured limit tournaments in the world?

It's ok the tournaments will still run, people will still play, and you'll still grumble instead of playing in a soft field tournament with a "fast" structure.

Cmon, these aren't "the best structured" limit events in the world. Many are one day events.

I'll reserve comment until I see the structures. Each year they get slightly better. A few years ago 6000 chips. Level 4 300-600.

It's heads-up, but it's not poker.

Allen....please stop trolling, you are making points about tournaments you don't even attend. I know that you have a "deal" with the WSOP not to criticize them but I can tell you that not only are our structures comparable but they are BETTER in the late stages, especially at this buy-in level.
