dsrecs. 10K in 1973 is valued at around $100,000 today. Inflation
calculators are and the cpi index are wrong. goto any newspaper from 1973
and look at the value of wages, homes, goods and they are about 10 times
less than they are today.
As a side bar when the WSOP started at the Horseshoe Benny hired Bob Hooks
to run his card room and bring the Texas road gamblers in. He never won it
but played in many WSOPs and made his living off hold ’em all his life.
yeah, thats one reason the playing field has gotten a lot bigger. not just
the increased publicity, but that it’s a lot easier to scrape together 10k
to enter, especially with satellites.
back when real men played poker…
i don’t think they even had a Poker Room the rest of the year then.
Looks like him but I don’t think so.
“The extra large field makes it necessary to split the action into two
divisions.” 13 person field! HUGE MTT ACTION!
Must have been doing pretty well as 10k in 1973 is the equivalent to about
50k now.
10:38 that scoreboard looks more like a chalkboard.
at 26.35 is that Stu Ungar sat in background?
at 41:00 ‘ I dont think you have spades’……… ‘your right.. I dont have
spades….full house’ hahah if only
The commentator probably made a mistake on that 3+2 thing. It should be the
first time ever a poker tournament was televised anyway so the guy perhaps
didn’t know rules that well. It does apply for Omaha however. This video is
fascinating stuff, thanks for uploading!
thnx for uploading, i hadnt seen this
thanks.My dad was the pawnbroker from new orleans.First time i have seen
this.
@3.05 They say you pick the best 3 from the board plus your own 2. Was that
a mistake? In modern rules you can also use 4 or all 5 from the board if
that gives you a better hand. Also they don’t turn cards face-up for all-in
as they do now. When did that change?
