Daniel Negreanu v WSOP
Recently Daniel Negreanu posted in his blog criticizing the WSOP for turning the WSOP into the World Series of Hold ‘Em. The buy ins are all low-limit level buy ins, it’s a bunch of hold ‘em tournaments, tournaments that aren’t hold ‘em are worked into the month long tournament by overlapping with the hold ‘em tournies. It’s a bad situation.
He posted recently about the Tournament of Champions that they will be holding. Anyone who finished in the top 20 of the WSOP Circuit Events qualified for a Tournament of Champions. Phil Hellmuth, Johnny Chan, and Doyle Brunson - 3 of the best players in the world - didn’t qualify. They get to play anyway. Poker is a game of equal footing because of the rules that are followed. Phil Hellmuth is as susceptible to a bad beat as I am. So why, then, should he be given special priveleges? If I whine on television a little more will I get special exemptions?
