"Beginning this year, all ten $10,000+ buy-in tournaments are designated as official world championships" the news released this year by the WSOP.
I’m holding onto my sides as I die laughing over this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s my sick sense of humor. How’s yours? If you CANNOT fade the expense of a $10,000 buy-in tournament and you make it into a $1,500 via satellite or direct buy-in - and win it - what kind of champion are you? Usually in events with a smaller buy-in you fade another 30K or so in players to get to first place than you would in the $10K buy-in…so you’re just a luck monster that donked out on everyone else if you win it?
But if you satellite or direct buy-in to a $10K+ tournament buy-in and you win one of those…well How-Dee-Do Lucy…you are an official WORLD CHAMPION?
Kiss my grits, Buckwheat!
Let me get in one last sicko sense of humor thought. If you are staked by someone into the $10K event and win it, are you an official WORLD CHAMPION HORSE?
The pecking order of poker. “I play in Bobby’s Room!” *waits for applause and groveling from listeners*
Dealer: Linda is sitting out.
Linda: I can’t fade the buy-in.
