Watching this years WSOP the final straw.
I've been a cash game specialist since I started playing holdem but the donkfest that was this year's WSOP was more than enough to persuade me that the fields are now bad enough to justify the high entry fees.
The 2003 WSOP final table:
Grey, Harrington, Farha, Lester, Singer & Vahedi are all formidible in their own respective ways.
2004 WSOP final table:
Arieh, David Williams, Raymer, Krux all decent to very good.
2005 WSOP final table:
Other than Matusow, Hachem and Barch, jesus what a donkfest. I think with an average stack at this final table you'd have to have give Moneymaker better than average odds of winning much less Raymer. Hachem played well as did Barch & Matusow but other than that it was downright ugly.
Do any of the other MHNL regulars play tournaments with regularlity or is the siren lure of the cash games steady income too much?
