Default HORSE at the WSOP

I pulled up the event list for the wsop of poker this year. Dear lord look at the horse tourney right before the main event. 50K buy in. I'm saying that event over years will define the best poker player. I wonder how big that field will get at 50K.



BTW I'm guessing this will be won nearly every year by a pro.

Full Tilt has satellites running for the $50,000 HORSE event. The sats $24+$2 and up are HORSE sats. The actual satellite that awards a seat to that event is on July 8th I believe.

Watch out for the game changes there. There is VERY little that changes (title at top of window and entry in the chat box) when it chages from razz --> 7 stud and then from stud --> stud h/l . Does that sound like I speak from experience??

Only other site that has HORSE tourneys going on (not sats to that event, though) is Bugsy's Club. Mostly low buyin, but the blind structure is actually much better and they have a big sign that shows up at the top of the screen when the game changes! If anyone knows of any other site with HORSE games please let me know.

Royal Vegas has them set up too. Look for it under "sitngo" & click on "rounders" tab.

I'm trying to "hoof" my way with the raked hands as well as the $5.50 tournies. The $550 MTT takes place on June 25th.

I suppose it would be too much to ask that the satellites to the HORSE event be HORSE tourneys right? NLHE ?

Thanks for the heads up on those sites though.
