.net and .com ordeal at WSOP

I still don't understand this stuff. Wasn't this a problem for the past two years? Is Harrah's that unorganized, that they can't figure out a clear stance on this issue after 2 years? This is turning into a joke. Make some clean cut rules that everyone should have to follow.

Also the .net adding to anything is stupid. Can you imagine how tacky this is gonna look on TV. This whole WSOP seems to be nothing but fuck ups by everyone. The only thing that they got right was adding the 50k HORSE tournament. Poker is such a huge industry now, with sponsors, media, and so on, yet the business side is still run like a backdoor card game.

Gaming Control is telling them what to do, so Harrahs is less at fault than usual are.

And the "HORSE" tournament was the most screwed up of them all since the final table wasn't even HORSE! (Not to mention it was rescheduled weeks after the original schedule was published.)

Huh? What happened that the final table wasnt HORSE?

[PPP]

It was No Limit Holdem. HORSE is five limit games. It's kinda like switching to backgammon.

Oh I understand the game of H.O.R.S.E., I just didn't hear about the event switching to straight NL Hold'em at the final table....why did they do that?

Had to make some fun of the situation.

The blinds were 1000/2000. It's folded to me in the small blind. I look down at find K8o. I try to hide my excitement, not give off any tells and calmly raise to 9000. The big blind moves all in for a total of 16000. Ooops.

"Hey, I'm Gaz DOT Net, so this is just play money anyway. CALL."

K8 was good. (when the King came on the turn).

Haha, those are both really funny.
