Title: Trophies or Bracelets?
Post by: AlrightJack on August 20, 2010, 03:00:58 PM
What would you prefer for winning a poker tournament? (non-WSOP). Trophy or bracelet? In addition to the prize money obviously.

Trophy please, nice big shiny one.

Also, call me a cynic but when a non wsop bracelet is awarded, I think its a blatant wsop rip off, rather than just how we poker players celebrate a tourney win.

This.

Given the OP's record I would suggest non breakable trophies :P

I'll have you know it is over 5 years since I last dropped a trophy ;)

Trophy. Bracelet = WSOP. Any non-WSOP bracelet isn't a bracelet (in the poker sense lol).

bracelets are the nuts if it's a special event that really means something and is prestigious etc, like winnng a ept/wpt/wsop/wsope smaller compys think a trophy is best. or maybe ur winning hand made in gold or something.

trophy

bracelets are unique to the wsop and should remain that way.

   what about something new, like a limited edition watch, were only winners of a "certain" poker tour can get their mitts on them

What about one of the glass jobbies but you also insert the winning cards, that'd be unique and quite cool imo

Post by: Woodsey on August 20, 2010, 04:27:59 PM
Come on own up, who the hell voted for bracelet?

meh I wouldn't want a bloke's watch.  At least with a fancy schmancy bracelet it's something that can be displayed.  Trophy ftw though.

That'd be neat.

Watches would be good, but they'd need to be decent and therefore going to cost a bit more than a glass trophy.

I like braclets more - I won the 6 max ecoop, and they gave me a real nice watch (tag heur), but it was a man's one, and when I asked them if I could have a female one, they said, they never anticipated a woman winning one - now that's a bad beat...

You should do some square ones that allow the winning cards to be placed in it.  It'll catch on!!

Mens watches on women can look really good - but I'm guessing this might have been too big?  I'm guessing it's just a small, expensive trophy for you then?  Which one was it?

That is a lovely Tag.  Cracking prize imo, but obviously not ideal for a woman!
