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.
IKE is smart but smart ppls make assumption base on thinking that everyone would behave like they would in a given scenario .
That is actually the opposite of how actual smart people approach problems. In fact, the dumber someone is the worse their theory of mind usually is and they are less likely to think someone else would behave differently than them. This is also, in addition to low iq types, a recurring problem for sociopaths.
[QUOTE=damian^;58637307]what was his assumption about the 5/10 PLO player pool? just curious[/QUOTE
He just misjudged how soft the 5/10 PLO pool on PS back in the days .
Jesse Lonis being 2nd in chips is sooo sick.
Whats their budget for this pokergo stream? They have way too many audio issues and graphics mistakes for what should be a professional production.
Looks like a much better main feature table now. Anti sweating Hastings.
KQ, folded to you in the HJ is a fold 100BB deep... Interesting
Boy these nerds have it all figured out
This K5 v 67 is button clicking at its finest
Poor Hastings, you hate to see it
Bye bye Hastings
I have to stop myself from getting excited about sweats this early because, while it feels like we're getting deep, the tournament is really just starting.
That being said, it's a testament to the high quality of the Main's structure that there hasn't been an outright bad winner in forever. To a man I'd say Weinman, Jorstad, Aldemir, Ensan, and Cynn are all some degree of very good. It's likely that whoever gets down there this year will be too, even if not a familiar name.
I just hope it the run
Clearly it doesn't matter THAT much with the turnouts but pros winning every year isn't a good thing for marketing purposes
Everybody Weng Tang tonight
Weng has resting constipated-face
Unfortunate Weng doesn't have the Ace
Either that or resting "Who farted?" face
Mateos is such a sicko, that looked like a really tough table.
That's a ridiculous drink cup. A breeze would blow it over.
A complex study was done years ago and determined as a GROUP, top pros in the main event had an overall ROI of 30%.

Why Ike Haxton said on a podcast that no one has over 30% ROI on main event?
He is good with numbers and also should be good at estimating ROI because he is backing a lot of the top level MTT regs, so its hard for me to understand why would he say something like that? To hustle cheaper stakes from his future horses, business move?
Lets say Adrian Mateos had 5bb/hr chipEV winrate on day 1. That would be 20k chips. So 80k stack for the day 2 on avg. That already is almost 25% ROI for the tournament
That 88/TT/94dd on 544 hand is the stuff that would tilt the **** out of me if I had TT. Guy with 88 goes completely bonkers and just punts his stack indirectly costing Weng a stack of 3 million. Woof. Even if the SB decides to just 3b with AKo, Weng wins a small(er) pot. That hand went about the only way it could that gets Weng out before the turn.

True. And recently, even the final tableists have been mostly very good players. Hesp, Manion the only glaring examples of bad players making it in recent years
Jeff and this other guy in the booth now are legit funny together.
Jeff: "Sanchez has cashed three main events in a row."
Other dude: "That's dirty."

I just hope it the run in is more exciting than last year's final few days, which felt lacking to me for some reason.
Agree with this post. I think the last few days last year were poor because 1) They lacked any real personalities or heros/villians in the players and 2) They split up the 27 down to 9 day over multiple nights of coverage, which really took away from its gruelling fight to the death with everything you have feel.
We not getting the last level tonight? That sucks
Phil Galfond is streaming his 5300 wsop high roller with about 20 players left on his youtube
A complex study was done years ago and determined as a GROUP, top pros in the main event had an overall ROI of 30%.
That paper proves that +100% easily possible. Lol, read it.
30% including main and all other events, but main has by far the largest ROI for pros
720 "pros" so a lot of shitregs, yeah 30% ROI is nice for average grinder but we are talking about the top winrates
So only for the main ROI is like over 50% for the top720 and then when you pick the best 20 we get to around 100% easily and then pick the best of the best and his winrate will be really high somwhere between 100%-200% probably
