Default Re: Sahara Tournament?

My thoughts on the Sahara tournament are that you get a lot of bang for your buck. However, you have to realize that when they take out like a third of the money out of the payout, that overall the tourney is not exactly a winning proposition. Still, the players are generally bad, so that it can be EV neutral. I have seen dealers having to explain the rules over and over again to players. But again, please look at the payout and the number of players entering and do the math: the poker room takes out a huge chunk of money out of the payouts.

From what I have seen, chopping is the rule and considering you have been playing poker for 4-5 hours and you are in a push or fold situation the last few rounds, it seems to be the most rational choice.
