daniel negraneau said years ago that if the WSOP ME were played P/L
instead of no limit, the array of winners would be completely different.
THE WSOP ME ISNT POKER
it is simply a 'war of attrition" amongst a field loaded with TV Scooter
morons who think poker is 'get 2 big cards , and close your eyes and yell
"ALLIN"
Here is a little question for you..
What would your chances of making the final table be if you were dealt AA
every hand for the first 12 blind levels.
Answer.. ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE.
AA ARE AT BEST USUALLY A 4.5 to 5-1 FAvorite. If you got all-in 10-12-15
times over the course of the first 3 days with AA.. you are an
overwhelming favoirite to be FLAT ****ING BROKE.
What you see in the final 100 of a WSOP are the ones fortunate enough to
outrun the laws of probability, and escape a trap or two. Just like the
guy who bets a 10 team parlay in s****ts , and then tells you how smart he
is when he hits one in a lifetime.
There are better "TOURNY" players than others, but these people are not
skilled poker players. Helmuth gets a limo sent for him when he wants to
play a cash game.
Dont ever confuse the WSOP with POKER
