Given the structure and effective stacks though, making preflop mistakes translates to huge ev loss (way more than 100bb+ bb effective nl). I also basically only play HUNL now vs. regs so i felt i would be way sharper than he was. Even so, the max im winning is 52.5%-55% i think, which is basically nothing.

really wish it was best of 3 for the finals w/ at least 100bbs deep, in the end once blinds go up you are essentially flipping for stacks every other hand.
Congrats on the result. Just a quick Q though- if you and stinger had agreed on making stacks deeper/not raising blinds/something similar, would tourney staff have accommodated? Always wondered this for live events at wsop. Thanks!

As a San Franciscan, I can confirm this.

The wsop staff is pretty clueless, i highly doubt they would allow any modifications to their structure (which was awful to begin with). I think its absolutely ridiculous that a 10k "championship" event allows players to play at 40bbs or less for the entire tournament if they want.

Brian didn't want to play deep vs me anyways, he only bought in for 1 40bb bullet at a time. I think he figured i was much better playing deep stacks (which is true), but i practiced a lot for this structure playing probably70+ husngs in the days before and did a lot of work on my 10-40 bb game so i doubt i was playing at a disadvantage in anyway. However, even for the very best husng players winning 55% of games is extremely tough to do, lots of variance.

Anyone seen Prometheus? Was going to go check it out and thought it looked pretty sick, but don't know much about it except it looked visual stunning, and I heard it was shot using some insane film/camera's that really do the job for 3D imax.

I don't know if you read his interview answers afterwards but he said he saw your twitter post wondering if he would "man up" and buy in for all 3 bullets and decided not to so he could piss you off. He then went on to say he thought you played well but that you were stronger deep than short. I'm guessing his reason for not buying in deep was the latter.
