Had a rebuy period of around 7 hours, ended up with around 50 entrants, and 80 buys total. A recreational player won it, and the most buy-ins any pro put in was, I believe, 3.
Again, not saying you're wrong, but in my (admittedly low) tournament experience, most players - pros and recreationals alike - limit themselves to 3-5 buy-ins MAXIMUM.
I agree with pros generally staying in the 3-5 BI max range but I feel that there is a perception by some recs that unlimited re-buys lets pros buy the title, as unfair as that premise may be.
Didace- the WSOP and LAPC seem to get around any issues that may arise/ Johnny is part of the TDA so I doubt that procedural issues will affect if the tourney runs...prob more the issue will be if it is an efficient use of tourney tables. Could always run like an 8-game mix if ppl were really worried about any issues...
Joeseph- on the chance that you are not trolling...dealers choice is when the player with the choice (it moves around the table) chooses the game and that game is played for a pre-determined amount of hands (e.g. round starts in seat 3 and ends in seat 2).
