| What would you do if you had the money? What would you do if you have $10,000 to spend and you're in Las Vegas? The WSOP Main Event has a $10,000 buy-in. There are other events in the WSOP that have smaller buy-ins ranging from $1,000-$5,000. Would you go for The Main Event or would you like to play in the smaller buy-ins like omaha, stud, limit hold em, pot limit omaha, etc? Answer the poll above and reply here to explain why. |

| re: What would you do if you had the money? poker Yeah, I have to agree with you all. The chances of winning some of the smaller buy-ins would be much better, even though it would be great to be in the main event. I think I'd like to try some of the smaller NLHE tourneys--particularly the short-hand games. |

| Don't know exactly play 1 game for big marbles or a bunch of games for a bunch of marbles.. The no guts no glory would actually kick in.. but then again when does registration for the main event stop cause if it stops later after a few of the lower ones.. I would take a shot at one of the lower ones 1st.. if I make it and a big *if* then I would go for the gusto. |

| I would definetly pay to play the little events. More games, more fun, more chances to win.The big event smacks me more of a Party Poker freeroll; over 10,000 people to go through. Give me the little ones and my odds go up drasticly on winning or placing in the money. |

| re: What would you do if you had the money? poker I voted for the main event,, heres the reason, being 61 years old it would be my only chance to say i played in the WSOP, However if i were younger, i`d probally buy into some of the smaller events and hope to win enough to get in the main event, i dont party poker or drink anymore, so why not go for the Gusto,,lol>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> buck |

| Definitely multiple smaller events. Several reasons: (1) Avoid putting all my eggs in 1 basket (2) Personally, I'd get a bigger kick out of making a final table or (goodness forbid) winning a bracelet than cashing, so the main event is unfavourable to me even if it has the biggest % of fish (3) I think I'd do better at Omaha and Stud and other non-holdem games anyway I may try to get down to Vegas next year... who knows... |

| My Bankroll management skills would never let me play in the main event. Although it would be fun and a great experience, the smaller tourney's would also be fun. And I'd have much left over to enjoy the rest of my stay!(Craps, Blackjack, Shows, Beer, Bacon, my wife). If I won the smaller one though(basically impossible) but IF. I would use the winnings to play in the remaining events for sure! Except for maybe the $50,000 HORSE event. That would be a joke for me!! Nice post T!! I wanna hear T1riel's answer!!!! |

| I would allot 3K to drinks and entertainment and a sexy hotel room for me and my fiancee. Then I would most likely sit down at the side games and play with these guys who got lucky and placed 50-100 and won 4-5X their buy-in in the smaller tourneys... and the ones to got really lucky in the main event. So, side games. |

| re: What would you do if you had the money? poker Definitely more smaller games- my confidence isn't that good and I would let myself get too easily intimidated at "THE BIG ONE" I think. If I mess up, I still get another chance or two. I would definitely also save some for shows and attractions, too........... gotta do the gondola ride at The Venetian and the seafood buffet at the Rio again with Rock! I like the idea of meeting up with some CC'ers, too. We will be in Vegas for a few days in early December............ any CC members who can come then too, it would be great to get together for a live game! |

| There'd be some temptation to compete in the main event. However, since I'm more keen on Omaha and Omaha H/L, I figured that if I had $10K to spend like that then I'd rather be in some of the non-Holdem events, as I'd have a better chance of getting a decent payout. |
