Excuse me for my flip remark last night Jay.
Final table Sunday Millions. You've been playing this tourney for at least 8 hours to get this far. So have your opponents! Everyone is stressed. At the same time everyone is juiced on adrenaline, and you still have to leave 2% on the table for an actual winner to be declared.
For anyone reading this thread, today, it is an imaginary scenario that none of us can really relate to. At $215 buy in, few of us will have toyed with this event, even with a sat to this, the buy in is steep, so not many of us will have experience at this level. So let me alter this a bit, by suggesting we have built up our bankrolls to the point where this event is not such a humongous life event, but rather we might be able to approach it as if it were a 2 or 3 step jump from our normal game. i.e. we normally play $5 tourneys and this is a $25 or $50 tourney. Certainly within the realm of our imagination.
Even 5th place at the final table would pay handsomely, beating out any known records for any of us (currently joosebucklol at about $11k). Incidentally, in that event joose made a deal and I seem to remember he gained from the deal, meaning chip leader lost some value.
Bottom line is that I'll tell you what I did later this year..........
