It must be a fantastic experience to play in one of these tournaments and i envy everyone playing. A friend of mine went over there a few years ago and he has always said that it was the greatest experience of his life

And they are right about it. Not everyone can handle a tournament going on for four days in a row. And its not about stamina. Its mostly mental, being able to keep your head straight, after so many hours of play, including breaks, interruptions, etc.

Bigger stacks and more value must be a good thing, to give everyone a big and better chance. Something was always going to be done t celebrate fifty years and this looks like it is it. Good luck to everyone who plays in the WSOP. I hope that one day I will be there with you to go head to head at those WSOP tables.

A 50-year anniversary it's worth celebrating as is normal. 50 years of history and an addition of 9 bracelet events is pretty good. It's hard to offer some extra prizes for this celebration but never do not say never. Last year the WSOP was successful if i remember well. This year i think it will be the same.
fiftieth anniversary It is of course very cool ... and of course there are some changes ... and changes this year when online tournaments are included. And these are really good changes ... new opportunities for online players appear ... not everyone can afford myself playing offline for various reasons ... now the geography of poker is expanding

Honestly right now I could not even afford to play them online let alone live. One could wish though
Of course, there are a lot of people who want to lose in such super tournaments .... and therefore get the opportunity to play in something like that, of course, at the dream level ....But still, this is a good chance for those people who for some reason cannot come to the live tournament .... And I think there are quite a lot of such people.

I think it is good situation to see that organizers listen to players wants and this year more options give to players, structure to have more chips when start tournament is very good, I like to play tournaments where many chips at start, also online bracelet events and for some players it is good to have super turbo events

you have to be very lucky to qualify in some tournaments or have the money to play them ... I really like the economy is not much I can do but I have a bad luck because I could never enter a good tournament or participate in some with good prizes

Overall poker-economy is fluctuates too much compared to real life economy, still many more could only dream playing in one of these.
