    I wouldn't.

    There are several players in my CC that will certainly win the big stakes tournes, as they did in the Virtual Us Open.

    Those players need that "motivation" to participate, as many of them have mentioned already. As for myself, I can only win prizes in my CC when there is handicap to help matching those top guys.

    BUT...I would certainly enter big stakes tournaments with UNEVEN LIES. Cheaters can not play (& cheat) & top players struggle like any of us to get a good result.

    EDIT; btw there is NOT a single UL tournament ANYWHERE!!?, not on official WGT tournes or RG's, what is happening with them?

    There used to be $5, $10 & $20 ready go's but WGT decided to take them away and fill up with $1 and 50c tournaments instead (or loads of $2 which we have at present)  The $10 ready go's used to fill up pretty quick.

    i think most players have realized you need sub 57 to even break even with high stake ready go's and even with a low score, so many others have low scores too so unless you have a 56 you might only make $2 for your $5, $10 stake so Its much easier to double your money in the $2 or $3 ready go's.

    Why not make a  4 round $20 tournament. You might enter 1 tournament and get a DEVIATION effected round and struggle and want to WD, at least with a 4 round tournament you still have 3 other rounds to get scores lower because no one will manage low scores in every 4 rounds.  We get 2 to 3 max days to play all 4 rounds. 

    Whatever the price $5, 10, 20 or $30 nothing better to spend credits on have we??

    I'm not interested at all in high stakes tournaments, but understand very top-players would like to have more challenge so IMHO, WGT u should set them and appreciate their input on WGT, from what i could seen in the past those 1000CR was filled pretty fast.

    Personally would like to see more 50CR ready go's.

    Please bring back the 500, 1k and 2k RG tournaments on a regular basis. Even if that means reducing the # of entries (but perhaps upping the entry fee) so they don't take so long to fill up.

    I'm also up for other high stakes tournaments outside RG's that are maybe a top 5 or top 10 payout.

    I agree, I was starting to like playing them. Would be nice to have one to play again.

    What a great idea, high stakes tournaments!

    Would be even better if WGT had secretly (or otherwise) invented a dependable cheat detector. After all a good trap needs some good bait, and it would be a lot cheaper if you could get the honest players (or mugs as some (not I) call them) to put up the bait!

     

    Enjoy, I'll watch from a very safe distance and make sure all my valuables are locked up!
