I'd love to be in that tournament, and its not hard if i can get lucky at a satelite. But thats the thing, braclets are not well respected because it is that easy. I dont care about the money, there are easier tournaments i can win to make money. I care about the braclets and titles, and i know my odds are 1 in however many players there are when theres that many players.

Believe me, if i was in it for the money, i'd want dead money players in, but i'd like those tourneys to be separate. The title tourney just has to be special. Not where any joe smoe off the street who just learned to play and got rockets every hand can gain entrance.

Maybe their can be a tour and end of the year a final for the title, then thier can be a big money tourney where the amatures and pros meet, so people can compete for the biggest cash prize ever (which happens every year already)

Oh and that was a good thought Xtra, but i have to rule the olympics out, they are too young to go pro, they are still in school lol.

Use to be true til the last few years with the the NBA players participating,but some of the other teams players are pros also with amateurs mixed in.
Its a wonder how they get beat since they have an overwhelming talent advantage,do they under estimate their opponets?
Maybe the amateurs just have more drive to win believing they are overmatched.Maybe not taking anyone for granted gives them an edge.
They dont come in saying they are the best,they come in and prove it.

I think that in a few years the WSOP and poker will die down. So many people will have lost thousands of dollars and hopefully give up. Then that will leave the good card players again. It will have its peaks.
