Default Re: \"Online Series of Poker\" - wtf?

Sorry, I posted about the OSOP before I saw this thread.

I think this one has a ton of money contributed from the five sites that are participating in it, so it might have a better chance with the ISOP.

I'm not really familiar with what went on with the ISOP, so I'm not really sure why that tanked.

Are people staying away from the OSOP because of something that went on with the ISOP? Did people get ripped off or something?

No one got ripped off - it was just this huge build up by 2 +2 that never got off the ground right.

I think they might have started too big, and then choose a secondary sight to use for the first tournament.

I think the OSOP has it right - starting with 5 sites, 10 events, and using sites that most people already have an account on.

I haven't seen people say they were staying away, and I'm sure if the sites run satelites for the events, people will be glad to join up.

What will be interesting, is if you have to "register" with the OSOP, or just choose to play in the events.

Also- the ISOP was going to be $1,000 events, these are much smaller buy ins.
