I'm not sure what tournaments you guys are playing but they don't seem to be a good value.
Hurrah for you! You're privileged to have deep stack tournies where you live (prolly Vegas).
But in the Mid West and South... basically the rest of the world... most events offer 10k starting stacks (or less) with 30 min blind levels.
If you don't think that makes a big difference - then you haven't played these events. Sure in the 1st three levels - you're "deep stacked" - but by the second hour, it's 25/100/200 - and if you misplay ONE hand (or got sucked out on), you're on short stack mode. By level 7 - if you haven't chipped up, you're in push/fold mode.
As far as the tournies being "good value" - I agree they suck. But they're the most affordable - and the only ones available.
Would have been nice to have Dan/Bill offer some strategies on how to best play your hands in less cushy circumstances.
