WSOP Schedule?

With the schedule the way it is now, it benefits my strengths which are non-hold'em tournaments like the hi-lo events and the HORSE events. I imagine that I'd average playing in 25 events a year. So, in order to make a profit with this bet I'd have to win 1 out of my next 125 WSOP events. If I won one out of the next 150 WSOP events I played I'd break even.

I'm really looking forward to the WSOP this year. The schedule is much better than it's been in past years and I'm looking forward to playing some tournaments in games other than hold'em.

Also, it'll be nice to be on a 5pm schedule for the tournamwnts. The tournaments I want to play are usually at 5pm which me allows me to enjoy the sun, and maybe even start golfing again during the day time.

The way the WSOP is set up now, it's almost as though you have the A circuit and the B circuit. The B circuit would consist of all the $1000 and $1500 buy in events, while the A circuit would consist of the championship events with $5000 buy ins or more (with the exception of the $3000 Stud 8 or better.)

It's one of the great aspects of the schedule as it appeals to the top professionals but it also gives the "little guy" a chance to be a part of the WSOP experience.

My WSOP Schedule:
