Message: [QUOTE="Jack Daniels, post: 1229906, member: 1954"] ^^^^ That. The prestige of winning this event is still the prestige of winning this event whether it's on television or not. And if any of them say it is less prestigious because it isn't televised, then they are wrong and contrary to Daniel it would in fact be all about being on television. So it's either prestigious or it's about being on televsion. Um, yeah, that's exactly what makes it a crock. They know they aren't likely good enough to front that money and win, but they'll gladly take a ride on someone else's dime. Well DUH. Someone would have to be a complete moron to refuse to play when someone else is going to pay for them and they get to keep their winnings. That's not rocket science. Get someone to pay for me and I'll play, but I won't plunk down $50K either. This is 100% true. I like Daniel and enjoy watching him play, but this post is one big whine imo. Basically as highlighted in reducto's post, Daniels blog entry could simply have been, "I'm upset with how the HORSE event is run. I would much happier if they'd arrange it so that I can play for free against weak opponents to leverage my skills to make more money out of a huge prize pool. kthxbai. /blog" Well a freeroll is pretty much what Daniel is saying too at least in terms of him and his pro buddies. In his eyes everything possible should be done to make it possible for him and the other pros to freeroll in this. I could support this if, and only if, they changed the format from five games to six games. Rename it to HORSEN and the "N" can be one level of NLHE that rotates through. Otherwise it's still a five game event with a new one thrown in on the end so pros can play for free on TV. The H in HORSE is for "Limit Holdem" just like the E is for "Limit Stud Eight" But since all the games are limit they decided using just the first letters would make L.L.L.L.L. too hard to pronounce. So we should expect a new article coming soon explaining the intracacies of both small ball poker as well as the details of why all the noobs and experienced players here are doing it wrong?
