    Braclet doesn't mean much imho. In the end all that matters is who has the money not who has a bracelet or is ranked top 10 on p5s

    I am in the real estate business in california so you know I would need the money. Bracelets are for those grinders that need to be redeemed of all the hard work. Look at Eskimo Clark, who is always looking to be staked or selling shit like his watch or RAZZ bracelet, and TJ. They show no pride in their "trophy". Unless I win at the WSOP, there isnt huge money in limit games I play so I am not playing to get famous or sponsored. I am having fun while making a little bit of cash to pay some bills. The question, though, has no wrong answer. BTW, once you win the bracelet, you win some nice cash.

    Shows your a baller, without flashing around money like a giant douche.

    so flashing around money = douche

    but wearing this giant oversized bracelet on your wrist while you're at the mall or at a picnic isn't douche?

    pocket ois.

    I mean its easy to say cuz i've never won the bracelet, or even anything of that magnitude, but I HIGHLY doubt I would wear ANY wsop bracelet EVER, esp to any more WSOP events. Who's gonna be 'that dude' wearing his bracelet to the next event...

    I wouldnt think anything less of the person. The fact that hardly anyone would wear it shows that the winner doesnt give a flying fuck about anyone else. Now me, I dont wear jewelry or even a watch but I might wear it to the remaining events for that July and then retire it to the house and maybe on display in the den. They wear it with pride and I am sure they would love for you to notice it so you dont mess with him.

    lol? sic level

    id be more afraid of a 21 year old Boy from Argentina or a Man who just got BadBeat 06 times than someone with a wsop NLHE 1K donkament bracelet.

    LOL at picnic. Only wear it in the right atmosphere of course. But you might not since your a shy guy.

    Any bracelet winners wanna chime in and tell if they ever wear the bracelet out of the house or not??

    Money.

    If you're playing this game for ego, you're doing it wrong.

    If it was my second bracelet I might take it and try to sell it for more than $50,000 but I'd definitely prefer coming in first.

    I play poker for the thrill of victory and knowing you came on top over everybody else, so I'd always take the bracelet. Not much difference between one huge amount of money and another huge amount of money IMO

    Millions is a massive overstatement for the side deals.

    The Main Event bracelet is the only one worth anything at all if you're American anymore, this isn't 2006 bro.
