Is it too early to get excited?


I went to the WSOP web site today and noticed they have the full schedule of events posted (see here) for this year's series. Previously they had a teaser notice showing some of the changes such as 5000 starting chips in $1000 buy-in events. This is a good change because 3000 doesn't give you any room for error.

They've added new events, too. There is a Colossus NL Hold 'em Tournament with a $565 buy-in and a guaranteed $5 million prize pool. That was a wow, but what really caught my eye was a Super Senior Event for geezers players like me who are at least age 65 -- can you spell s-u-h-w-e-e-t?

I'm getting excited and it's four months away. Is something wrong with me? Am I truly a degenerate?

    Define "degenerate". :) I'd say you're an enthusiast. A little crazy but aren't we all? So long as you're having a good time. And it's always good to have something to look forward to and get excited about.

    Degenerate Analysis:
    Each year through 2013: 1 Thousnd dollar buyin tournament
    2014: 2 - tournaments
    2015 Looking like 4 buyins in the offing.

    But, you are still playing with the houses money and you haven't moved to Vegas. I guess will just have to stay tuned.

    With 2 seniors events this year, there really isn't any excuse for not coming home with a bracelet this time around.

    @Mr Subliminal: ouch, feeling the pressure already. Maybe I shouldn't go.
