Re: Not!

With all due respect, just listen to yourself. TV time? Pokerstars paying entry? You won the WSOP and you wont play in a 50k buyin tournament because you think it may not be +EV? How about the challenge? How about playing a tournament with some great players to see how good you are? Man.

Well, when it's your money, you can decide how to spend it.
I don't need to play in this or any event to see how good I am. I know how good I am, and even if I didn't, I know enough to understand that one tournament, no matter how tough the field or great the structure, tells you almost nothing about how good you are.
And the challenge? From my point of view, doing something for the challenge of it is for children. I don't need to do anything to be happy with myself, or to have confidence in myself. I believe in myself and my talent for poker without overcoming any challenges.
I don't find any problem with somebody who wants to do something to prove something to themselves, or for the challenge of it. I just think that if that's the ONLY reason you're doing it, you either lack confidence or maturity or something. I have no need to do anything, except be true to myself and take care of my family.
