I know for the most part this is going to be frowned upon for various reasons, but is there only me that thinks this will make good TV?
Its quite likely that the average punter will think its fake (which in a way it probably will be given the likeyhood of various swaps and stakes). |

What does everyone reckon a good guess on the number of runners for each event is? Only the very very best/rich will be able to play all of these. And they're likely to be against other pros. Why would they want to? TV exposure I guess. But unless there's lots of rich businessmen playing I don't see how many will see these as +EV games?
Also: lol @ adding $1m to a $250,000 buyin.

well, this is better than it sounds, where it will increase someones ROI% by precious little, it will add quite an increase in $equity )not comparable to the buy-in admittedly, but in terms of actual money. lets say your ROI is 0% and there are 50 runners your equity is now $270k and $20,000 is a lot of money. big thing though, whats the juice? |

If $20k is a lot of money to you though you surely aren't in a position to stake $250k in the first place?

Do the big two ban the opposition players from playing? I thought it was just they banned their own players from playing a rivals event. If they did, Negreanu will have one if his usual bitchy hissy fits about them within the week, even though he will probably be banned by his own sponsors anyway. If I was Stars I would let Negreanu play just out of spite to try and get him back on top of the all time money rankings. |

Buy-in seems a bit low. Surprised they took the affordable option instead of going for a more interesting one of say $500,000 (with rebuys).

thats not really the point tho Can you explain it a bit more for me then dave please as I don't get your point? As I see it if someone can afford to put up $250,000 then $20,000 isn't a lot of money to them. |

$20k is more than anyone will have in positive advantage over this event I would imagine. |

The buy in is irrelevant its about $EV at the end of the day. a $500 100runner comp with $100k added is much worse value in terms of $equity if your a poker pro you go where the value is for your bankroll. regardless of how much the money means. |
