So they doubled the stacks and doubled the blinds?

Net result, NOTHING.

It should be painfully obviously to even the dullest of people that playing a 1/2 blind game with 100 chips is no different from playing a 10/20 game with 1000 chips.

People like "big" numbers I guess. It's alot more sexy to say "I raise 10,000" rather than "1,000" or "100"

There was a certain simplicity to having the start chips match the buy in. You knew every chip represented a dollar that was bought in...

Oh well, this only makes sense if they are actually planning on raising the buy in to 20K, which is certainly a possibility.
