Hypothetical : ME/HORSE clash

[Jon MW]

Well it would be nice if it were clarified.

Clarification before people bought seats would have been best.

I know this has probably been answered elsewhere, but how many players do we anticipate making Day 2?

I"ll clarify it for you Jon.

You won"t make Day 2 of the ME.

[Laxie]

And I"ll make it REALLY easy for at least one of you.  I don"t have a HORSE seat.  If I bust the ME and you don"t, I"ll buy your seat and play the HORSE.  If you bust the ME and I don"t...we"re into new territory

I think it"s been clarified then.  DTD do not allow you to multi table, therefore you will not be able to register for the HORSE event if you are still in the main event.

So if you make day two and have a HORSE seat, you will need to find a stable home for it.  Neigh bother.

How will this be organised though? I don"t really see how it"s going to work unless some structure or method of selling these seats is put in place. I mean, are those in each event already going to be registered in the DTD system before the events start, or do we have to "register" and they check us against a list of approved players, or what?

I can just see a lot of confusion and annoyance for eveyone if even a handful of the HORSE players make day 2 of the Main Event.

This does need to be clarified, perhaps between DTD and APAT. I was told by APAT ages ago that playing both events simultaneously would be allowed, and in fact would be encouraged, with a big deal being made over anyone attempting it!

I agree.  Let"s get it clarified for definite.

I am curious though how people actually expect to be able to play both.  If I was deep in the main event, that would be total focus, and I"m not sure I would even want to go straight into a HORSE event immediately with whatever chips I have left.

Or would people"s plans be to play a level of each ?

Right, the more I think about this, the more curious I am.

Those who would be planning to play both, what would your strategy for mutli-tabling be ?

[3N1GM4]

I would definitely be thinking about the HORSE even if I got to Day 2 of the Main Event. Firstly, I"m assuming we might not even be in/close to the money when day 2 starts, so it"s not like we"re already playing for decent money/finishes. Also, it"s incredibly rare AFAIK to be able to play a live HORSE tourney in this country, or in fact anywhere!

Last chance I had was in the WSOP $1500 in 2008, dunno when my next chance will be, so I"d definitely be annoyed if I wasn"t able to play in this, even if it was because I was deep(ish) in the Main Event.

Has anyone else played any non-Hold-em games in the WSOP? Games such as, oh I don"t know, Razz for example?

Have wanted to play the Razz there for a while now, but never been able to.

Do it at the WSOP - standard is really low

Back to back tables and a swivel chair would be nice.

If the HORSE event start time cannot be delayed then I would suggest those with HORSE seats who make day two transfer their seats to those who want them. However what if supply outstrips demand. Will refunds be offered or are players allowed to attempt to play both? Clarification please.
