WSOP final table moves to November

And don't you think the other thing is -- it will be tougher for a Moneymaker type to win it because the more experienced guys will have four months to dissect the games of the less experienced guys or unknown guys.

 

I have to think this will increase the likelihood of collusion among the final table players.

Sure, they'll all want to win the bracelet. But this gives them months to work on side deals to chop the pot.

 

What would be hilarious to me is if the final nine are all nobodies from nowhere on their week's vacation and really in need of money and they all agree to chop the prize money from the final nine spots evenly nine ways instead of returning four months later to finish the tournament.

Don't laugh -- I've played tournaments where the final six chopped it instead of coming back a second day

 

What happens is someone dies in those four months?

 

From what I understand, never having been there, is that you can discuss a chop but not on camera. Anything else is pretty much fair game.

 

Waiting 4 months longer for glorified coin flips. Oh, the horror!

As a poker player I don't really care for this but I would rather be playing than watching anyway.

High Stakes is the only intriguing poker on TV.

 

Now that's a good question. Morbid, but valid.

 

I agree about High Stakes being more compelling but I think it is over rated and here is why -- it would be far more interesting if there were one rule added "no deals like "let's run it twice"..."

That to me is not poker. Either you put your money in and live with the results or you don't -- you don't get a do-over in real poker.

 

Running it multiple times is pretty common during cash games among the pros.
