ideal?

200,000

[Supwithbates]

there were people with 200k after day1 last year, shouldn't that mean there are people with 400k after day1 this year?

no one actually had 200k at the end of day 1 last year, one guy was listed as having 220k, but it turned out he had added an extra 0 to his total (or the writing was illegible on his bag, or something similar).

i'm guessing 35k or so will be avg after all the day 1s??

From Zimba's WSOP blog on cardrunners:

"Unfortunately, Brian Townsend busted out during the last hour. He had drifted down to around 16k and raised A,J on the button to 1200. One of the blinds shoves for 14k. Brian went with his read that the player was weak and called. The player turned over K's and Brian's day came to an end shortly after. On his way out he saw Bobby Baldwin, confirming their big game was on for tomorrow."

What's the bet Aba was sitting there thinking, I cannot stand another minute of playing 20 hands an hour with these donks. Why the hell is this guy raising me all in for 14k when I raised to 1.2k..... I think he has a mid pocket pair.... I'll take a coinflip so I can leave or double up.

Result: No Good. Thank God.

The 900 or so remaining players have made it to the half-way mark of Day 1a. They outlasted almost three hundred players but have three more levels and six hours of play before the day is complete.

Yeah, I hate playing high-buyin tournaments with donks. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Awful call, if the action is right. Just don't even play in the first place, if you are some balla who is just going to do stuff like this.
