odd, i too feel that the wpt is somehow "better than" the wsop. like, not counting money considerations, i'd much rather be on a wpt final table than a wsop final table for some reason... even though i'd rather have a wsop bracelet than a wpt championship. weird.. maybe i just like the show better. [/ QUOTE ] I am the exact opposite. I would much rather be at a final table where the calibre of talent on average is lower, and the money we are playing for is higher. There are only so many players above a certain level. Those same players play both WPT and WSOP, however the WSOP is filled with several thousand extras. Of course there will be more unknowns at the final table, but thats why the draw is so big, it encourages the average player to play, not discourage. |

I only look through the first 2 or 3 pages of topics, so that doesn't really apply to me. The first time I looked at the final table thread was today and it had 21 pages of posts.
2 min finding a thread with the right topic > 10 min trying to skim/read through the long thread for a subject I want to read or talk about. edit: I'm not trying to be a nit, just trying to give you another perspective on why this seems to be still happening. |

FWIW, I agree 100%. There are numerous "subtopics" within the very broad topic of "WSOP final table". One thread with hundreds of posts about everything from Kanter's donkey plays to Matusow's play with KK to Dannenman's call on the final hand is just silly. That's the whole point of having a threaded message board. Sure, delete/lock duplicate threads, but forcing numerous different topics into one massive thread is ridiculous.

That was almost unwatchable. Kanters K4 reraise and all-in made Tiffany Williamson look like a genius by comparison. Only Tex Barch played solid poker. If this trend continues the main event will fade into oblivion. [/ QUOTE ] I'd just like to emphasize how impressed i was with Tex's play. Granted, we see 20 isoldated hands out of god knows how many, but he came off as a smart player. |

Locking threads to force people over to one MAIN thread is really ludicrous. Does it really make sense to you that somebody should move to a different thread to talk about something started in another thread?
If this is the correct thinking there should be one FORUM section for WSOP. One thread for Final Table and all of the various comments is absurd. You are just limiting the discussion by burdening people with a ridiculously long thread to discuss something. I thought the forum was to discuss a wide variety of topic, so why pigeon hole ideas? |

Let's carry this "logic" out and just make one 50,000 post thread on 2+2 under one forum called "Poker + Other". |
