Agreed that playing really short handed is a rare opportunity. Let's hope for as many as possible
I remember watching an event that (I'm going to butcher the spelling here) Olivia Busquiet was commenting on - and he was saying how important it is to hone your 4 handed, 3 handed and heads-up craft because the pay differences from 4th to 3rd, 3rd to 2nd, and especially 2nd to 1st can be as much as double from one spot to the other. Because I live in MN, I can't hop online and play heads-up etc, so I wonder if there are any simulation programs that anyone might suggest trying that can help build experience in closing out tournies when this deep? I'll ask around and make a post to see and will PM you, KGC if I get any replies.
