Thoughts on Chip Reese and the WSOP tournament

Here's some interesting info about the world series of poker. For anybody who didn’t already know, the winner of the WSOP HORSE tournament will get a trophy and the Trophy is quite debatable. The trophy is a Chip Reese Memorial Trophy.

What do you guys think of that? I think it should be retroactive to when Chip won the trophy originally and then make him the first winner of the trophy. I think they should actually name the actual tournament after him, but the other idea I said is also good.

This is all a bit over exaggerated if you ask me. He was a good poker player, but not a “legend” in my opinion. Now he is dead, it is a natural part of life. It doesn’t mean though that he deserves a memorial. I didn’t know the guy. I‘m sure he was great, but he wasn’t my friend so why should I have to commemorate his death? I am not playing in the tournament so I really don’t care that much.

Listen man if you don’t care than why did you post? I care, it is important to discuss these things because one day a player you really respect will pass and there should be some kind of guidelines or tradition for this. I think making it retroactive and giving him a trophy is just too weird. There is nothing wrong though with just giving him a just trophy that is ok.
