WSOP questions????
Looking into scheduling my next LV trip. Usually go in spring (apr/may) but considering a WSOP trip instead. Not reallty interested in WSOP tourneys although I would likely play one if I go in June.
My question is about all the other tournies that everyone runs during WSOP. From what I understand during WSOP all the poker rooms run some sort of deepstack events. Are these better than the typical series that Venetian, Wynn etc run in the off season? Are the fields bigger? That is my main interest.
I dont think that is true for many years now.

What McCoy said. More like a bunch of old people sitting around playing cards, having a nice time (though everyone is playing their best ofc).
I will also add I've never witnessed nor heard of a player getting enraged. It's more like, we've all played a million hands an have seen it all, a bad beat is just another hand. Sigh, congratulations.
I bet neither of those was during the (Super) Seniors event.
Thanks for all the feedback guys! I decided to go for it and just booked (June 11-19). The weekend that entails has that Warrior thing previously mentioned and I will likely play that as my official wsop event. Other than that plan to play dailies and some cash. I usually take 2 or 3 LV trips a year so it should be interesting to go when the circus is in town. I purposely avoid the summer months due to the heat but figure its time to experience the wsop.
And yes I am most definitely a senior! In fact even more senior than yesterday since today is my birthday. I played a senior event at the Wynn a few years back and ended up being bubble boy. Nothing more disappointing than that!

Happy birthday!
Well, happy birthday, mr b!
Certainly less aggro, absolutely more friendly, and a lot less arrogance. Serious poker but a lot more smiling and joking. Yes the occasional GOM (Grumpy Old Man) but in general significantly less animosity.
some mind boggling play at my 2023 Seniors day 1 tables. Saw a woman call a 5 bet shove in level 1 (200bb) with 77 and get there vs AA. She made the final table!
Some of the play was so nonsensical that you really had to think hard to decide if they were bluffing or value betting and you eventually decided that they just didn't have any idea what they were trying to do
(didn't cash obvs)

Pedantic tidbit derail…per most of govt, you achieved this milestone yesterday
But definitely congrats

ROFLMAO 2nd Hand of the Super Senior last year UTG raised to 3 BB I 3 bet to 13 BB withe KK and got 2 cold callers and the original bettor - Flopped top set of Kings on a multi suited board - bet 45 bb ....................... Was on my way to the rebuy cage while they were playing the 3rd hand. LOL Maybe I should have flipped over some tables 😃 In the early stages anything can happen until the field gets thinned out.
