TOURNEY 'pro' Players are in for a TOUGH time IMO My observations from watching some WSOP tourney play.
The players have gotten ALOT better. 2/3 of the field are pros in one way or another. At one table during day 1, the majority of the players ALL knew each other.
With Harrah's raking 10% now in total, AND the VP jackpot problem (if you don't hit the Royal and WIN on of these things, then the takeout is MASSIVE), there is no way most pros are going to win in the short run.
Cut them off from there trust fund sponsor, and life it gonna get hard........
