In my case, I already booked the flight tickets (non-refundable) and got my annual leave approved. Gonna be there 3 and a half weeks. I think Wednesday June 12 will be the $1.5k Stud Hi event since the $10k Stud Hi Championship is on Monday June 17. Still, not gonna make more commitments until the full schedule is up.

Ditto - If the Greens are in fact eliminated the 2.5 open raise will become the Dodo bird of the Poker world - I for one will miss it as my open range bets was 2.5 to 3.5. Not earth shattering, not game changing but irksome if so.

In most levels you still can. You can still open for 500 or 700 at 100/200 for example. I’d like to be able to open to 250 at 100/200 but the benefits of not having to race off the green, or have people betting 4175 (yes very deep considerations make 4175 soooo much more optimal than 4100 or 4200), having faster stack countdown on allins etc. outweigh the need to go 250 at 1/2 imo.

FYP but yep, there is no stopping this and it does simplify things.

Haha duh yeah.

yes

soonish

Please don’t. It’s beyond cheesy when I see guys do this.

I saw a dealer wearing a WSOP bracket at PH last year. Pretty bad-ass if you ask me.

There are actually a couple three Double Stacks this year.

Oh I would wear it in a heartbeat but it wouldn't really be visible........... it would be right next to the horseshoe ...........

While you are certainly correct that they have 'no reason' to coordinate, ALL of the series benefit from some manner of coordination. None of them want to dilute the pools any more than necessary. Nobody benefits when there are (for example) three different O8 events going on during the same day.

I liked the events in the space that Venetian had last year, although it sucked with the HP convention killing the easy walkway into the poker area. The mini food court that Venetian had was a good first-year start...hoping they build on that.

When does pre-registration officially begin? I don't want to make travel arrangements and then not be able to get into the tournament I want, or have the dates moved around.

The online registration will likely be available by the beginning of May. The entire schedule should be available for registration by that time. Beyond that, most events are of a nature that you could use the kiosks in the lobby a day before an event (paying by credit card) and STILL not be in danger of being shut out of the event...

By that same time, the event schedule SHOULD be firmed up for ALL of the various series going on around town. WSOP events are the only ones that will likely give you online pre-registration options though...at least based on what has been the case in previous years. However, as far as I know, the other series would allow you to register in advance prior to the day of the event although I have never had a problem with being shut out by waiting for the day of the event, even for some like a Seniors event that might have a larger draw.

I would expect the schedules for all casinos to be firmed up by end of march or April. People need to plan etc.

Are you referring to that horseshoe being up your keister. Well I would like the same if it brings me to a final table

Yes, it would definitely be in the way of my next colonoscopy.
Perhaps I should switch to a 4 leaf clover to lesson the post tourney trama.

You just have to run so good to get deep in the mega field events and pure skill can only take us so far.

Couldn't agree more with the last statement.

Looks like the full schedule is out --- not seeing structures yet

Geez theres a $1000 PLO event a day before the seniors. Not good

Geez theres a 6 max event a day before seniors. Okay now I`m pissed

Why are those bad?

Also, I'm excited - all NLHE events at WSOP confirmed to be Big Blind Ante. No more watching people fumble out 400 chips for 45 seconds per hand!

June 10 is a Monday : At the online registrations they have June 10 as a Sunday and etc...I don't know how to contact them but if someone is able, have them check their dates/days for the online registration. Thanx .

I feel your pain...the Stud8/O8 event starts the same day as the Marathon and the 2-7 Triple Draw is same day as the Seniors event. Admittedly, without knowing structures at this point, the conflict may wind up not being a conflict.

Am guessing many will have similar feelings about some of the other overlaps...

if you are referring to DafarginNuts its because I really enjoy those forms of poker and its the week I am there for only 8 days 11 - 18 june

Michelle I too am waiting for structure sheets. I might pass up the seniors for the plo. I am so tired of NL
