View Poll Results: Should all-in protection be provided for ring games?
No. It's too open to abuse. Go play at a B&M if your connection speed is too slow. 25 59.52%
Yes. The level of abuse isn't that bad actually. Everyone suffers from a slow internet connection occasionally, so all-in protection is a good thing. 17 40.48%

Default WSOP 2005 Prediction

With the rapid growth of poker over the last 3 years, where do we see the 2005 WSOP 10k event coming it at next year. I think we will see a modest growth at the WSOP this coming year. I do not think we will see a 3x growth spurt again.

I believe Harrah's stated they are planning on 7500 entrants next year.

oh it will be far more than 5500. it was estimated to come in at something like 1500 this last year and i was saying nah more like 2500 and damn i was right. im always right though.

anyway it'll be 6000+ and it wont even be close. there are just far far far too many online sites doing year round qualifiers and card rooms doing the same and crap. it will be the biggest circus yet.

Even tho the official line from Harrah's up until one week before the event was they were going to cap at 2000?

That's a lotta faith in a prediction.
