I think the WSOP circuits carry more clout because you have a chance to be on ESPN. If I had to choose I would take my chance at ESPN and also the final table is 9 handed instead of WPT's 6 handed.

I don't think they do yet. But, they definitely have the potential to very quickly.

Paris and Caesars Palace don't even have poker
rooms.

I think Caesar's is opening up their poker room this fall; I haven't heard anything about Paris/Bally's.

Bally's already has a "room" if you can call it that. It is basically an area next to the lobby that they removed the slot machines from and put some poker tables in. I doubt Paris will put in a poker room.

also, wouldn't the fact that poker site logos can be worn at the WSOP circuit also be a plus for playing at a WSOP event rather than a WPT event??

are they allowing logos on the wsop-circuit final tables?
if so then this a decent point.

WSOP just announced there circuit schedule for next year and they upped the amount to 12 this time. The big thing I noticed is that some of them are held during the same time as some WPT events. Since alot of pros have started following the big buyin (TV) events around, which one will they choose. I could see this becoming a HUGE war between the two groups as to who can attract the most entrys and names. Look at these schedules and compare.

WSOP circuits

WPT events

These are the ones that overlap

WPT Foxwoods Nov.13-16
WSOP Paris/Ballys Vegas Nov.9-22

The WSOP events seem like they are only going to be held at Harrah's properties.

Thats cause Harrahs bought the WSOP Trademark.

I think the WPT will be allowing logos to be worn this upcoming season too, but don't quote me on that

I think, in general that the WSOP carriers more clout.

However, for these:

(The ME's wont overlap for these)

WPT World Open Tunica Jan.22-26 (Gold Strike Casino)

(WOW! These will be in the same city, same times)

WPT Reno Hilton Mar.27-30
WSOP Caesars AC Mar.21-31

[/ QUOTE ]

I think WPT Foxwoods will win (it seems like this is one of the most popular WPT tournaments), but for the other 2 I think WSOP will win.
