As you might remember, about 2 weeks ago they accidentally leaked the schedule of big-buyin events at the 2014 WSOP. You can read about that in this thread: http://pokerfraudalert.com/forum/sho...-10m-guarantee

Now they have finally posted the entire schedule.

http://www.wsop.com/tournaments/

There are 65 tournaments, starting on May 27 with the Casino Employees Event. The first "open" event is on May 28, which is the $25,000 Mixed-Max NL Holdem. $1k PLO also takes place the same day.

The first "donkament" takes place on May 29, which is $1k NL Holdem.

If you want a really huge field, play the Millionaire Maker event on May 31st ($1500 buyin) with the $1 million guaranteed first prize. It had over 6,343 entrants last year, and wreaked havoc upon the WSOP because Caesar's didn't expect those numbers (even though everyone was predicting it). I cashed in that one last year, but not for very much.

The WSOP continues to thumb its nose at Limit Holdem. There aren't any Limit Holdem events until June 20 ($1500 Limit Holdem), and the only other event is the $10,000 Limit Holdem on June 26. As recently as 2012, there were 5 Limit Holdem events, plus a Mixed Limit-NL Holdem. Now all of them are gone except for those two I just mentioned. The $2500 Limit 6-Max event, which was still there in 2013, is now gone.

This will lower my overall pahticipation in the WSOP. I don't know why they are only running 2 LHE events out of 65 in the WSOP, when LHE games are still a fairly high percentage of cash games running. Why are they still wasting events on garbage like Pot Limit Holdem?

I also refuse to play those $1k donkaments, because you only start with 3,000 chips, and it's just not enough. Too much luck involved, and you really don't want it to mainly be about luck when you're trying to get through a field of thousands.

I will play some of the $1500 NL events again, as the 4500 starting chips is much better, and I have done fairly well in those.

I will again play the Main Event.

I will be selling pieces of myself again this year, though no more than 40% in any single event, and again not for the Main Event.

Overall, it's a disappointing schedule for me personally.
