2009 WSOP schedule announced
January 27th, 2009Well, we’ve been gone for some time. Sorry about that. Look for a more consistent Click Raise in the future.
The 2009 World Series of Poker schedule was announced yesterday. There are a few things worth noting with this year’s event, the first being the absence of rebuy tournaments. The idea of taking these events out of the series came up last year when Daniel Negreanu (who sits on the players’ committee) said that there were a number of people opposed to including them because they allow wealthy players to “buy” bracelets. Never mind that the WSOP should be a reflection of all types of poker, but Negreanu failed to mention that he is known for being innane with rebuys at these events and it has not translated into a bracelet for him
The second thing that caught my eye was that there is a 40K NLHE event, which should make for awesome TV as well as a 1K NLHE event, which has got me thinking about making the trip. My new goal for 2009 is to build up a roll large enough to take this trip as a freeroll - here’s hoping!
