Brief Report from Day 1 of the £1k WSOPE

[tikay]

We discusssed his commentary at the EPO, & it seems the "booth" & working conditions were awful, & they struggled with the equipment. I thought he & Matt did well, but I was "a little less" complimentary about Grub Smith. though Barney defended him resolutely.

Miss B.

much awesomeness

[tikay]

Sam, with a selection of Logos on the Table, including one from Mr Zimbler's "TIPS".

I do think Paul has gone for the wrong target market, standing around at the WSOP-E all day dishing out TIPS Logos & Flyers. Hhe has a business track-record, so I guess he knows best.

I decided to take the pic during the first Orbit of Level One. It's best to be safe, knowing Tony.

The first level is 25-25 and starting stack 3000, 1 hour levels.
What a breath of fresh air compared to the now seemingly standard 10-15k starting chips when everyone wastes 4-5 hours of their lives just getting mentally and physically exhausted before the levels that matter.
Every single player I spoke to yesterday thought the structure was perfect and moaned about the massive stack nonsense. If you play poker for enjoyment and the soul destroying slow structures please go and play play money games or a £5 `pretend wsop main event' at a local casino.
I am soon to set up an organisation to preserve some sense in live tournaments `SOOS'. Save Our Old Structures.
One aim is to have multiple MTT's at a casino in one night. Ie. comps going off every 3 hours and lasting 3 hours. It is almost impossible to avoid the variance for `full time' players otherwise.
Ps. I don't know why anyone would 4 bet any hand early in this comp, but if you did and got 5 bet by a tight player, then 120bb's deep I would think kk is a standard fold.
