In light of the bore fest that was the World Series of Poker Main Event, I continue my series of post fallout articles by asking the players to have a look at what they can do to rise to the challenge.

Not only did the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event final table earn Joe McKeehen $7.6m in prize money. It also confirmed poker’s position amongst the most boring sports in the world.

The feedback from players, media members and fans alike was unanimous. Poker makes the heart weep out of sheer frustration. We must have changes to the game. Cards should be kept in the quietened corners of the casino.

Alex Weldon wrote a well thought out piece for parttimepoker.com. Is it the player’s fault or the game itself? Weldon seems to come down on the side of the game being at fault, with the players gently pushing it into the abyss. It’s a reasoned argument, and one I felt compelled to add my two cents worth.
