nothing like bubbling ft at 5am (that should be 7 handed but what do you expect)

how can I not mlr a 50k this summer with math like this, literal free money π€pokerstake.com/staking/pokerβ¦
The @WSOP $50k High Roller offered solid late reg. value this year.
Day 2 entrants gained a 10% ICM boost worth about $4700 in tournament equity, just for showing up a day late.
Surprising, given the very top-heavy payout structure (52% or prizes go to top 3)

Lots of live and online sweats available via stakemike.com mostly no MU! Punched my ticket for the Main and many deep runs in the online bracelets so far, feel that 6-fig score right around the corner πͺπΈ

Who has a higher Uber rating than Maurice Hawkins?
Maurice Hawkins has 25 WSOP Circuit rings, the all time record. Maybe heβs trying to get a tell on his opponents by asking their uber ratings? Whatβs yours?

As my amigo would say, I believe the below to be IMPORTANTE. Take a min to read please and then an extra minute to ask your favourite ambassadors to push the message internally.
The main problem is there is multi parts of a tournament and with such long late reg you have to turbo the structure to get the other parts "over with".
Two scenarios:
1) 5 hour late reg, you need to also get ITM, get to the FT and finish the FT. Tournaments cant last more than 10 hours really, so over half of the tournament is spent on the late reg meaning the structure is incredibly fast by design.
2) 2.5 hours late reg, you can now spend 2 hours getting itm, 2 hours getting to the ft and 2 hours on the ft. 8 hours total and crucially only 25% of the tournament in "reg phase" meaning the tournament is never rushed at any point and the average stack stays high throughout.
Additionally & crucially, it makes the tournament into a shove/fold fest, where amateurs are unable to see flops with pretty hands, whenever they make wide limps/calls/raises they are immediately punished. It lowers the skill element of the game a lot and it makes potential winrates essentially non existent.
Even worse, so much of the schedule is PKO, you basically shouldn't register a PKO after level 3 anyway, so there is really NO NEED.
I hope the industry can correct itself.
Late registration online shouldnβt be more than 2.5 hours & live shouldnβt be longer than 8 hours. So many people choose to reg at the last second regardless when that second is. The extra entries the field gains for the extra hours doesnβt justify the detriment to the structure

As an addendum to my previous post, note that WSOP Online is run by Caesars and not NSUS/GG but very much looking forward to that changing

watching WSOP hire 1000 live personalities while anywhere between 0-1 people run their online site
From the feature table to the broadcast desk, @MariaHo has become one of the most recognizable faces in poker.
Now, sheβs exclusively joining WSOP.
Welcome to the team, Maria. ππ

Iβm going to state the obvious: voting doesnβt matter.
When a foreign country pours $32 million to unseat someone who doesnβt bend the knee and succeeds, itβs because we are an occupied nation.
Real change wonβt come from the ballot box.
