Nothing is free anymore. It's a service. If you like watching the WSOP and can't shell out $15 bucks then you really aren't a fan.

[@carrothair4]

@@eddie195777 I can be a fan and not support a company’s monopoly of poker and forcing everyone to pay to see any and all poker events worth watching. I can afford it luckily but it’s the principle. What about those who can’t? ESPN made it work for them so you know it’s doable. They should make the main event free to draw in people and interest and then you pay for further content. Makes more sense.

Not a fan of the tanking but it's the main event! Its the biggest situation (playing poker) these guys will be in their whole career. Take all the time u need! This is not designed to be a entertainment/viewership driven event (although they try to make it). It's about the players playing the game!

[@williamdoyle2063]

I have had to scroll through about 50 comments about people complaining how slow these people play to get to someone who actually appreciates the fact that the people who are playing the actual game matter, and the audience dont. If its too slow for you, go watch a racing video.

@@victorelfring dude it's the main event. FYI it happens once a year and is the biggest event of the year. If other events don't have a clock why would u put one on the main event?

[@paulkeogh3518]

Pre flop on a full table should definitely have a clock. Under these circumstances short handed or later streets then no. A clock similar to chess is better than a flat 2min clock.

[@puskas_baller]

i mean they wanna talk about maintaining the casual fan base or enlargement of it but fail to mention putting this whole thing behind a paywall. obviously, they cannot say it, but that is going to crush general public awareness and viewership of this event

[@eddie195777]

I agree. I just watched the 2003 final table main event and players moved play along very fast. The only time a player took a little extra time was when it was a big call bet or their tourney life was at risk. I liked the way Dragona Lim played this year. By the time it got around to her she either called, bet, reraised or folded.

[@sheryinmoua8486]

Holmes was outplaying these youngins..

[@onetym282]

It's only a set if you have two in your hand. If you have two on the board and one in your hand, it's three of a kind.

[@robertkerr8601]

They said the audience don't like guys taking time to decide??? It's not up to the audience to make that decision. Poker players have no obligation to play for the audience and paying 10k in the main event should not include having to play for an audience.

I find it hard to believe that none of these players try to get info by talking to their opponent. I'm not talking about a Kassouf 7 minute stall, but 10-20 seconds of talking could make them elicit a reaction

[@topscorer212]

please let me talk to you at a poker table cause i will talk you out of all your money. part of poker is being an actor. not conveying even the slightest bit of information when a card hits. that could completely change the game. the only thing you can do is sit still and just look. at one place. because actors are gonna throw you off. and will switch it up and sometimes be telling the dead truth. the only thing that matters is have i run the numbers enough in my head and what all have i seen this guy do with what cards. thats why they take so long before each action. they are running through hands

[@greenwave819]

As to the clock issue, Back when we had free-roll games all over the place back in the moneymaker boom, I would occasionally run into this kid who drove me nuts. Each and every hand he had the exact same mechanics. wait until his initial action was on him for 10seconds before even looking at his hand. wait another 15 seconds, then act. check, call, raise, or fold it didn't matter. While he clearly felt this made him hard to read, it also wasted soooooo much time. It was detrimental playing at the same table as this guy as you lost so many hands per blind-level against the tables playing at normal speed lol. One day I finally convinced him of this fact and he started playing at normal speed. While his play stayed consistent, the extra hands we got to see ended up helping his win rate increase.

[@cmbsoldja]

100%. Happened to me last tournament I played. Our table lost so many hands. Eventually, we ended up with average chip stacks wayyyy below other tables.

A shot clock works fine for: NBA, NFL, and Professional Tennis… ‘nuf said. Each player typically gets nearly a minute to think, waiting for their turn to act, anyway. You don’t think they’re watching and waiting, for their turn, the decision already made? I do prefer the acoustic guitar music from days gone by. It had a much better vibe.
