Why I decided NOT to play the WSOP Final

[curmudgeon]

5,000 players..........what a lotto.
Yea, I won an online tourney with 4600 players once.
I was just lucky to have a rush at the last 2 tables.
Who wants to play for 7 days..... with early days lasting over 12 hours each day?
Saved my $10 for the WPT........ better odds, better vacation too (not in Vegas in July! [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Well, it's a pretty good payout. Already at 90th place you get $91,950 (as an example)... [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Some people work some pretty nasty jobs 12 hours+ on a regular basis just to feed their family, I would think the fact of the ME being physically and psycologically demanding because of the long hours would be no deterrent to a determined player that loves the game.

I also realize I am not in a position to judge, since I am certainly not a pro player.

I swear Daryn, you really do look different in every picture.

Not to mention if you place high in the event you will get some tv time and exposure. That is worth something in itself
