Yeah level 1 is probably better for visibility, but the basement felt like a home for poker. Where as level 1 has all the heart of playing a satellite in Exhibition Hall.

Yeah I truly don't get it, especially given the current CoL crisis. Surely having a 1/3 option with a $200 - $500 buy in range just makes a lot of sense. Flip side I guess is that it might be one of the only good things that will help regs, even if only for the short term. That rake though is...

If tournaments come back to stay, I could see a world where cash stays up top and tournaments down below.

There has been word going around that they are looking to host a series in the near future. HighstakesDB seem to think it will be a major event with international players in mind. 📰 Aussie Millions Host Brings Back Poker Tournaments

This is from 2+2 for one of the Wednesday night tournies - the numbers are relatively massive, especially compared to what the Wednesday nights were like prior to covid. Sunday is what I'm most interested in though. If this is anything to go by then there could be some juicy prize pools.

How have the tournaments fared since coming back (field size/$ up top)?

Not all doom and gloom though, played my second live tournament as part of a series (excluding weekly Crown tourneys) on Sunday in the APPT deepstack and finished 4th from 490 runners for $11k. :)

As in, serious luck box. Here's how he managed to survive three-handed... PokerStars Hand #159783800421: Tournament #1691923338, $76.25+$5.75 USD Hold'em No Limit - Level XVIII (500/1000) - 2016/10/11 10:47:28 ET Table '1691923338 2' 9-max Seat #7 is the button Seat 6: ThProsecutor (61642 in...

Playing heads up for a seat in the APPT ME, final hand - this guy had been luck boxing it out of so many situations :( PokerStars Hand #159785033545: Tournament #1691923338, $76.25+$5.75 USD Hold'em No Limit - Level XX (700/1400) - 2016/10/11 11:20:17 ET Table '1691923338 2' 9-max Seat #9 is...

Ridiculous lifetime heater

Two bracelets and a runner up in consecutive events for Mercier. With Jason shipping bracelet bets everywhere, a $1.8m payout awaits should he ship a third thanks to Vanessa Selbst. Currently 30ish with 119 remaining in 6-max PLO (520ish entries), it truly is one of the great runs.

Prepare yourself for the knockout hand people...

Witnessed perhaps the unluckiest run of consecutive hands I've ever seen at pub poker on Monday night. First hand, our hero had QQ against the villain's JJ. All the money got in pre-flop, with the villain being at risk. FLOP: 10 10 10 TURN: Q RIVER: 10 Result hand one: Split pot Second...

I feel similar to you but feel this will have the opposite effect to what you're suggesting. Yes, player retention is of course a big selling point but let's be honest, the people who will be looking at the big first place prize will play regardless due to the prestige that this event has so 10...

Because it's a means of attracting newer players to the poker scene. The poker boom is over, this is just one of the ways of drawing new people to the game. The pros all seem to be happy with the changes too, as you'd expect since these changes were led by the likes of Negreanu and Hellmuth.

WSOP have changed the payouts. Top 1000 now all get paid and the November Nine will all take home at least a million. Fantastic changes.

Everyone wants to * him?
