I too wanted to be there but I chickened out. I am so glad I stayed home. I hope and get the courage to come out next year. edh530https://www.blogger.com/profile/17350460500843652702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-26466806879162484452015-06-16T12:27:27.466-07:002015-06-16T12:27:27.466-07:00Oh...and Scar Jo and Kate Upton are on my short li...Oh...and Scar Jo and Kate Upton are on my short list of favorites, so good job on the illustrations too!JT88Keyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14030012435363552208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-12031345520388375332015-06-16T10:48:04.650-07:002015-06-16T10:48:04.650-07:00Thanks!Thanks!Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-50608184518709805862015-06-16T10:47:46.812-07:002015-06-16T10:47:46.812-07:00Excellent point, Jeff....I hadn't really thoug...Excellent point, Jeff....I hadn't really thought of that. Of course, it could work the other way...they are missing the chance to get a quick double up getting lucky against a big stack trying to push them around, but the odds are way in the other way.<br /><br />Of course, all the players coming in on those late waves are so shortstacked they are ALL going to have to take chances from the get-go, so after a shortwhile that would likely straighten itself out.<br /><br />Another way to argue is that there are only 50,000 chips at their table to start, whereas they might be a lot more chips at a table they'd be sent to as an alternate.<br /><br />All in all, it does add to the element that this is different from your average tournament.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-12339047190673587532015-06-16T09:52:19.355-07:002015-06-16T09:52:19.355-07:00Haha great article and even a better eye for detai...Haha great article and even a better eye for details!

In other words everyone at their starting table will have 5,000 chips. Normally an alternate entering late is likely to land at a table with at least one or two bigger stacks putting them at somewhat of a disadvantage. I'm not sure how I feel about whole tables of late entrants getting to dodge big stacks and playing against players with the same M rating as them. If I registered early like you, I would probably not be too pleased.JT88Keyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14030012435363552208noreply@blogger.com
