Re: Player of the year points concept
[ QUOTE ]
The Tournament of Champions is *sort of* like this -- except in the TOC they also randomly add people that steal equity, increase exposure dramatically and make for what should be one of the most interesting final tables we've ever seen on TV , and overall make the experience less EV than it should be. Sorry. Did mean to open up THAT can again. Barron Vangor Toth BarronVangorToth.com [/ QUOTE ] I'm not a fan of the TOC move, either, but it's hard to argue against this. |

Re: Player of the year points concept
I think it would be nice to see a tourney like OP suggested, consisting of players who have consistenly done well and made multiple final tables, rather than this year's TOC in which the participants only had to make one final table in selected events (along with the three equity-stealers).

[/ QUOTE ] This is probably the format we'll see eventually for the TOC event which holds the most legitamacy with the pros. When more leauges such as the EPT and WPT are in place, it will be much easier to keep track of performancs on a "professional circuit" and come up with ratings with a more unified system than the one currently used, say, at CardPlayer for their player of year. (Those rules are kind of geared toward volume not quality) |

[/ QUOTE ] Anyone who thinks they would get more exposure at the TOC due to Phil Hellmuth being there has no concept of what TV poker has become. And if I'm playing in the event, I'm not particularly caring about getting "interesting" final tables, especially if that "interesting" isn't my brand of "interesting."
