Apart from the buy-in and possible winnings would you love to experience playing in the One Drop above all other events for the pure experience, buzz, players involved and standard of play?

"Standard of play" I mean less chance of some clown busting your AA with Q5 as I assume the standard of play would be far superior to most if not all events...!!!

You also get to sit down with the best of the best tournament players and there is loads of play with the starting stack, etc.

Since "ultimate" means "last", the One Drop would almost certainly be my ultimate tournament, if I somehow found the buy-in down the back of my sofa.

I love how people seem to think that if they could just move up in stakes and play against better players, they would be able to win.

If you play against better players, you will LOSE more. If the stacks are deeper and there are "loads of play", you are MORE likely to LOSE.

Learn how to beat your current game, learn how to love the "clowns busting your AA with Q5", and you will begin to understand how bad this post is.

Exactly, Kill Everyone has Q5o in SB vs BB play as a push with about 9 BBs or less effective stacks and a call with about 6 BBs or less effective stacks. Of course when you do it people look at you like you're totally crazy.

Starting with 3,000,000 in chips, with the blind structure of the One Drop, is nowhere near as much play as the WSOP main event, starting with 30,000 in chips, with its blind structure.

Well if it is a freeroll of course the one drop though if it is my own money I want to play the 10k pot limit holdem. Small field a great chance for a bracelet, playing against a lot of great players and big names, also playing a format that I have more experience in that maybe all of them(no ante tournament poker).

EXACTLY lol.
So the WSOP Main event is ahead of the One Drop at the moment.
I'm Shocked. 6000-1 chance in the main event as its 40-1 in the One drop to get the buzz of winning.
I'd pick playing in the One Drop all day
