will people be rotated through the feature table during the day?

firstly, it would be great to go sit on there for a couple of hours and play, secondly, its probably a disadvantage for muzz and aaron and mike to be sitting on such a strong table with each other all the time.

obv warnie would stay on that table, but will other people be rotated through there other than just due to knockouts?


The WSOP chooses their feature table based on what would be most entertaining. If a player is entertaining in some way - perhaps they dress like a clown or get more excited than Hevad Kahn. If a player amasses a huge chip lead. If there is history between two players (Aaron & Mike). If there is hostility between two players (Warne & Darryl Cullinan). It's all about entertainment value at the WSOP. Not sure about 888PL though lol

Are you serious?

You have to be kidding me? As a player in a deepstack event you are asking to be moved every few hours?

And because the table is full of, what you determine to be, strong players I should break this table up because it's a disadvantage to them?

Ever heard the expression table of death in reference to any major tournaments? What happens if a similar table is formed halfway through the day with the likes of yourself, Scott, Rcon etc... would it be fair to other players to break that one up just because I deem it to be a strong table?

just asking a simple question garth, obviously your not in a mood for answering them.

i would rather have all the good players on a table, they can have fun knocking each other out.

just trying to get an idea of what to expect on the day, is all.

Yeh lol - I am suprised you ask because I am more than happy for Aaron and Mike to knock themselves out (pun intended) on the feature table.

And if you annoy him enough, I'm sure we'll see you be moved every hour, on the hour, but never to the feature table :D

I'm in the mood for answering them, so I decided to see if you were in the mood to answer mine.

I threw about twenty into one post to see how you would handle it.
