when you play these, you have an edge over some guy just plopping down 175, but at the second table, you will, on average, be a dog.

I have not played any of the Atlantis DS's (can't go [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]), but I have to disagree with this assessment if it also refers to WSOP DS's. Based on my experience, second tables generally have 1-4 strong players and 4-7 average (or worse) players. I can think of numerous 2+2er's who should be +EV even at the second table of a DS.

Having said this, I do not plan to qualify for next year's WSOP via DS. While I will probably play a handful of DS's, my plan is to play as many TS/QS as possible since these are much, much weaker than the DS's (which are very beatable IMHO).

Small sample bias applies, of course, but I'm pretty confident that what I'm saying is true relative to the WSOP stuff. You may well be right about Atlantis, though. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
