My conclusion of the WSOP series. Very over rated. Yes we all know it’s amazing to be able to play for infinite money, but at what cost?
The dealers are sub par for the amount of money we’re spending. I had a dealer legit take 2:30 seconds shuffling and pitching the cards.(That’s not acceptable in any buy-in let alone 3k )
Having to deal with players who are sick, annoying, and take 1 minute every decision is too much. Along with players not wanting to make change to make the game go faster or just do things on purpose to annoy the dealers/other players.
You’re paying a 3-5x premium on food/drinks when it’s legit the same food you can get anywhere else.
You also have to walk through multiple parts of casinos where people are smoking, which in 2025 why don’t we just have sections where they can smoke?
Legit no one who doesn’t smoke wants to walk through this garbage everyday. Especially when you get sick from the nasty people who don’t take days off when they’re sick.
All in all my experience was not that great. If I do come back I will only play a few tournaments and I will stay off the strip.
Online poker is king.
