Poker Library > No joy in WWdN and other tourneys

[Poker-Tastic] Played a crazy mix of games today including crazy pineapple on UB (damn that game can be fun) , Stud and different cash and SnGs/MTTs of NL HE. Got the first nut kicking by getting outdrawn time and time in the Stud MTT on Stars, not to worry though, it was a donkey 1$ tourney, so you can’t expect much.

Since players can enter this tournament on a freeroll through UltimateBet.net, there's a very strong Chinese Wall between the fact of this tournament and the fact that, in the real world of poker, money sometimes changes hands. So even though a tournament may use virtual dollars of a certain assigned values, around here they're "chips, only chips, and nothing but the chips, so help us God." And so I wait to do the fix, before catching my flight back to Vegas, and picking up the action there, probably not until late tonight or tomorrow.

And in most of the articles written about the history of the event, there's some comment that mentions how amazing it is that after so many years the entry fee is still that same $10,000, though considerably less when compared to $10K in 1970 dollars.
