2024 World Series of Poker May 28th to July 17th ***No Spoilers***
The 2024 WSOP will take place at Horseshoe Las Vegas and Paris Las Vegas from May 28 to July 17, 2024, with the Main Event running from July 3 to July 17. The Main Event – poker’s undisputed freezeout world championship – will have four starting days, beginning on Wednesday, July 3. Players may also register directly on Day 2.
PokerGo could change all of our attitudes towards it if they just stopped overpromising and underdelivering.
Like tomorrow, (Tuesday) they say they are going to start coverage at 3 CST.
Seriously?
A few nights ago they were supposed to start at 7 and started at 10PM
I was wildly disappointed since I love to watch the coverage so much
It's one of my reasons I look forward to June (yep, it doesnt take much for me)
Why not say they are going to start at 5PM (CST) and then SUPRISE!
"we got things got set up faster than we anticipated and are starting early"
Then we all love PokerGo for their "get up and giddy up" to get us more coverage
INSTEAD, we will likely have the opposite, say they start at 3 but really at 5
And we're all annoyed at their incompetence
I mean, really, from a marketing perspective which is worse?
Starting late or starting earlier than expected?
The people that run PokerGo . . . I just dont get it.
Anyone know what set the woman off in an event yesterday who was shouting for half an hour and had to be escorted off of the premises? The video was posted on Reddit with zero context so I was curious what happened.

Well, it's tournament poker and so unpredictable precisely when an event will reach the final table. Since PokerGo uses a set-up that is exclusively for final tables (Main Event, Super High Roller, and PPC excluded), the start of their coverage is hostage to the knockouts and reaching the final table.
With that said, it's disappointing that for some of these events, either ones with enormous prize pools or an exciting mix of players running deep, PokerGo isn't capable of covering a couple of tables at once - Stars and Triton coverage both make great use of secondary featured tables, for instance. It's probably an instance of PokerGo cutting corners to save on their production costs.
This is my biggest gripe with pokergo too. That they only cover final tables. A lot of these events would really benefit from multi table coverage on day 2 or day 3.
To PokerGo's credit, they're scheduled to cover pre-final table days for the $100K, the $250K, and the $50K PPC. Unfortunately, I suspect this will mean 'featured table' coverage, and will be pleasantly surprised if the early day coverage includes one or more secondary tables as well.

I hate to be annoying but this is still bad for PokerGo's future.
When they are down to 2 tables, is anyone gonna refuse to watch since it's not the final table?
When there is a big name and they just miss the final table, they lose a lot of viewers.
if they can show the final table, they can show one of the final two
What's on tonight? Schedule page isn't loading for me
Cheers! $10k Stud for me

They are capable of doing it as they do it for the Main Event each year, bouncing between 2 feature tables.

Yeah doesn't seem like it should be that hard.
Set up your main feature table with commentary. This will eventually become your final table. Camera operators and commentators don't need to do anything.
Have a secondary feature table with one camera, hole cards, and no commentary.

Still not as good for viewers as what Stars and Triton do, but better than nothing. As many have mentioned already, I too remember the days when most final tables were covered precisely like that, just an overhead camera and table mikes.
We always bitch about several of the events, it does suck, but their Main Event coverage is always epic.
This is 95% true, and always was completely true until last year when they split the 27 down to 9 day of the main over 2 days. Used to be the best day of coverage, when whoever was lucky enough to be left was pushed to the absolute limits in their quest to make the final. Last year it really sucked and lost most of the tension and epicness.
I've read that several times over the years but have no idea which countries that might be. I remember back in the 00's PLO was the main game at Casino Schenefelde (outside Hamburg) for a while. Other than that I can't even think of a single casino where the player pool of PLO was bigger than the player pool for NLHE over an extended period of time.
I think it stems from the before boom times. Whne there was only a handful of places in europe that spread poker at all.
I think but dont quote me on this the aviation club had omaha instead of holdem or at least it was the more usual game.
I am not sure when Omaha was the main game in Schenefeld. But Schenefeld was actually one of the rare places that spread poker for a very long time.
back in the day it used to be 7 card studd. You can still se some old writing on doors that says they spread 7 card studd.
Not the game with more players, but from my experience in Spain and Portugal is normal for the plo game to be the biggest game in the casino. From my limited experience also in France. So, at 1/2 or 2/5 way more NL tables, but in bigger games is normal to see more PLO than NL.
yes that is quite common
I think she did something wrong...
Somebody had said that she had gotten a penalty and refused to accept it.
A little further research makes it sound like she just had a mental breakdown.
They let em chop a pot in tourney poker? I could see that flying in a cash game but not a tournament
