PokerStars Team Pro Daniel Negreanu took to his blog on Monday to give his opinion on the use of “unlimited entry” format poker tournaments. He discussed the profitability of tournament circuit stops, the expected value of player travel, and the effect of the decline of cash game side action.

His post comes in the aftermath of criticism he received following a Twitter comment he recently made that he would “purchase a stack” during the World Poker Tour (WPT) Five Diamond World Poker Classic $10K main event at the Bellagio casino in Las Vegas.

Unlimited Entry Format Controversial

The ability for players to be felted multiple times while still remaining active in an event is currently a hot topic within the community. Many see the format not only as an unfair advantage to professional players with larger bankrolls, but also one that can be additionally off-putting to recreational players, generally. It also removes money from the poker economy faster than tournaments where players are only allowed to enter a single time.
