That seems pretty steep, especially considering what they're getting in TV revenues, merchandising, etc. now. [/ QUOTE ] The Party Poker $1 million guaranteed is a $600+$40, for a ratio of 1/15 or about 6.7%. The WSOP has a ratio of 3/47, which is slightly better than that. How much cheaper (rakewise) do you expect them to get? |

You misunderstood my question...obviously the winner gets more than the rake back in endorsements. [/ QUOTE ] also i think he wins some small cash prize. |

Well, the rake was a total of something like $1.5M. I know that I personally do not expect to get $1.5M out of being the champion (e.g., from endorsements, the 2+2 book, and the like). However, it is quite possible that the extra money I make, combined with the extra money made by David Williams, Josh Arieh, and other players who picked up or increased their notoriety, will exceed $1.5M. Later, Greg Raymer (FossilMan) [/ QUOTE ] Ok...this is what I was looking for...so, in other words, paying the rake is +EV in this tourney due to the unique exposure you can get from it possibly. |

And one of the TD's told me they are raising it next year 2-3% for each tourney.

I don't know if I'd say that was miling it or not. I mean if I won it and someone approached me and said " I'll give you 500,000 (yes a guess) to write a book". I'm pretty sure I'd get a patent attorney to look it over and jump at it.
I think Greg is great for poker. He's very respectful to others, obviously very smart and very aggressive. |

Re: A few questions for Raymer, other pros, or anyone else in the know...
you know what's funny jonjon, I've had several ppl suggest that I write a book.... How ridiculous is that. I've been playing professionally for like a year, I could barely fill like a magazine article, much less a book.
