Poker bracelet or just $ ?

What will you do with bracelet?

Unless you want to sell it..

Poker is about money. No pro would play for play money and a bracelet.

Having said that: winning a bracelet in a big tournament like the main event still opens possibilities to earn extra passive money by sponsoring, PR and other marketing means.

But a bracelet for the glory? Please, it is live tournament poker we are talking about. It is so much luck involved that some pros go to Vegas during wsop just to play in the juicy cash games.

The two things are important , as a bracelet is a relic , you will be able to say , many professional players are put in mind that.!!!

It would depend on how much the +300K is.

Are we talking winning millions or "just" a few more hundred thousand?

Bracelets without money, like smoke without fire, simply do not exist)))

In my opinion, prize money is much more important than winning a bracelet. In general, a bracelet for the poker player is a symbol of recognition of hard work and struggle.

At one point the dollars do not matter that much for a true pro.
I understand a broke/poor player wants as much dollars he could have, but those bracelets remain a tradition for a reason. At that level few thousand $ here or there simply do not matter.

have a poker bracelet for a pro-poker player is important in your opinion? or is just "ego" and status?

And, what you think is best, have a poker bracelet of any type and never win more than $300K for your life time , or win over $300K our + an not have a bracelet?

no professional player trade the prize of the tournament by a bracelet, poker games which are worth prenios, bracelestes are just objects that people show to say it is better than the others.

As an amateur who has a 1:10^24 chance of winning one bracelet and zero chance of two or more, I'm leaning toward the money.

Bracelets confer status mainly in the poker community, they wouldn't mean much if anything to the average person and may even be viewed negatively by "anti-gambling" folks.

Your post sounds like a poker version of the fable The fox and the grapes

(could call it The Goat and the Bracelet)

I´d prefer the money.Nowadays,having a bracelet is not as important as in previous years.Of course,Negreanu and Helmuth are obsessed with winning a new bracelet but they belong to another generation.There must be young poker players who want to win a bracelet but ,as I said above,players want to win big tournaments like Triton .Daniel Cates ,for example,doesn´t care about winning a bracelet because he prefers playing a Super High Roller in Vegas in which he can win more money..Good question by the way.

I would like to have both! but if I have to choose, it would be 300K, I don't mind the idea of winning a bracelet, I don't rule it out at all!

I did not understand this reply, you know dry ice?

infonazar · Oct 30, 2019

I prefer money. A bracelet is a prestigious award, but money provides more opportunities.

lcid86 · Oct 30, 2019

Money. Trophies don't pay the bills.

77ecos · Oct 30, 2019

The main thing is always the money, I am reading that many give more importance to the bracelet but it is a matter of taste, I thousand times prefer 30 seconds places to just a bracelet

kleopatra123 · Oct 31, 2019

For me, money is more important to me. The bracelet changes nothing, and money changes everything.:bebored::marchmell

fernandovr · Nov 5, 2019

Winning a bracelet would be amazing but between money and bracelet I prefer money. I think a tournament like the WSOP wouldn't have a big field if the prize was just a bracelet.

AizenFalck · Nov 5, 2019

I think they both go hand in hand. Having a bracelet of course that gives you fame and distinguishes you from the other players adds to this that you identify as a good poker player, not necessarily the owner of a bracelet has to be a conceited person although sometimes there are who are conceited haha. In the same way, I also think that there are many people who have earned enough money and do not like badges so as not to attract attention. Some time ago in PS they cataloged you according to stars and asked if you wanted others to see how many stars you had, the more, you were a better player, many did not do it and thus surprised others by being exceptional players.

BrunoIngrassia · Dec 1, 2019

Recognition is the correct name for the bracelet. We cannot want to have (money) before being (bracelet).

tauri103 · Dec 1, 2019

I prefer money. I can do without a bracelet as long as I have enough agent in my bank account.

Nano5722 · Dec 1, 2019

That,s always about the money. I think most of the people just want to have that money and i think those Bracelts means not so much to be honest at all. Yes, that can be pleasant, but i think money is more important for most of the players.

BobbyMorton · Dec 2, 2019

Bracelet would be good but the money would be better.

elJenio8 · Dec 2, 2019

I have a trophy on my room. I feel inspired every time i see it.. I dont know, i like both.. Money and Trophy or Bracelet..

I wouldnt sell my trophy for money

Zvezda kz · Dec 2, 2019

I am not conceited, for me it is enough to simply win money. I don’t need to have any titles, I just have to earn money playing poker.

Tvorets · Dec 2, 2019

I would choose the money
