"Lady Penalized, Patronized
An unfortunate lady was taken aside by a floorman who most apologetically explained to her that she was being penalized for checking the nuts. "You see, you had the best hand possible, so if someone bets you have to raise and if someone checks you have to bet, you have to create action. See, if you don't, then it's more like a home game, with everyone just checking and all friendly..." The lady in question looked suitably patronized, and was issued her penalty on top of that."

When I was in Vegas a few weeks ago that was the talk of the town.... NOBODY likes that rule and everybody is saying something about it! I personally don't like it either..... What if you don't relize you have the nuts.... it happens everyday!
From players that played in a few events this year stated is that that if you are LAST to act and you check the nuts you get the penalty?
yeah but u cant control how many ppl come and register on the last day instead of other days, cause not everyone pre-registersThey let too many people wait until the last day to start. There are plenty that could have started earlier including Fredrik. He preferred and requested the last day - but could have started on the 4th. You don't have 4 day 1's and let almost half of the field start on one of the days - duh.

having the first two days on independence day weekend was a really smart idea.
