I don't know about you guys, but the level of skill at the weekly Choctaw tournament has increased significantly. Running into guys like Dunamo and Dsquare wasn't the norm in the good ole' days.
The average level of ability in the Choctaw Saturday $175 is light years ahead of the Winstar Friday $220. I know that this typically isn't the desirable outcome from a player's perspective, but I like the fact that you are forced to keep your chops sharp during these weekly games and that will then in turn translate positively during larger buy in tournaments in other locations.
