Default Re: A \"boycott\" of WPT events forming down the road?

The main problem is all the WPT has to do if a bunch of people boycott is hype up some of the newcomers to the game. I don't think enough big names will stop playing the WPT to make any sort of change possible.

BUT..................

I think there has to be another group of people capable of putting on big tournaments that can compete with the WPT and is more player friendly. By more player friendly I mean lowering the juice the casino or company such as WPT gets to a number equal to or much closer to zero. I would imagine 1%-2% of the the tourney buy in is more than enough to cover the costs of putting on a tournament with a televized final table. The only reason WSOP and WPT aren't changing their ways is because and organized group hasn't come in and forced them to change with a little competition.

My solution: Start the Wal-Mart poker tour.
